Pet friendly hotel in Derby

“Had a lovely 2 night stay at Breedon Hall this weekend. Charles and Charlotte are amazing hosts and couldn’t be more welcoming. We really loved our room, it had a lovely country house feel and overlooked the beautiful walled garden. The bed was incredibly comfortable with quality linen and the bathroom well appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast in the main kitchen, it was just like visiting friends. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend to others.”

“I had the delight of staying in the Damson pod, which felt comfortable and warm, boasting panoramic views of the scenery which I have showcased in my photos. While there was no face to face interaction with the owner, they were always ready to help via email and text message, of which, responses were very prompt. The information room on site had all sorts of information about the local area, and the honest shop was well stocked. The site feature 2 full side bathrooms by the information room, both of which were spotlessly clean and well maintained.”

“We had a fantastic time during our stay and enjoyed every minute. Beautiful location and so many things to do within a short distance. The owners are lovely and very welcoming, you couldn't ask for a better experience.”

“Delightful place to stay. We arrived after heavy rain and were really well looked after. Rooms are of a high standard, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. I'd thoroughly recommend staying here and would be pleased to do so again myself.”

“Everything was perfect! We stayed in Maple with our doggo, Loki. Everything that we needed was there on arrival waiting for us and the lodge was really clean. Self check in was quick and easy. Bumped into the maintenance man a few times who was really nice. Loki took a liking to him! Great views. Lots of nice walks nearby. If you want a nice Chinese - Lucky Dragon is stunning - best salt and pepper chips ever! The Greyhound was gorgeous for a lovely pub meal or a carvery. Great stay overall, highly reccomend.”

“My son and I really enjoy staying here. This our second visit and both stays have been excellent. Paul and Rachel are a lovely couple who go out of their way to make everything as we like it. We have stayed in both rooms which are clean and welcoming with lovely decor throughout. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Coming from Scotland we know a great breakfast when we see it. The area is a great base for getting around and it is very quiet with a lovely outlook. We have stayed in many B&B/guesthouse up and down the country and this is by far our favourite thanks to the lovely owners and the unbeatable value for money. We will be back again soon we hope. Kathleen and Dariush.”

“I stayed at The Coach House for a week earlier this year, during a trip home to visit family and friends. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful, and I had a fantastic stay. I stayed in one of the old stable rooms, which had a small private patio and a pond. The room was clean, comfortable, and especially lovely with the French doors open and the sunshine streaming in. The included breakfast was delicious and flexible, with options like lactose-free milk, eggs cooked to order, and a selection of cereals. There was also a nice range of fixed items on the menu to choose from. Tea, coffee, and juice rounded out the drinks. The Full English was a standout and set me up perfectly for the day. Next time I visit Derby, I will definitely stay at The Coach House again. Highly recommended.”

“Peter and his farmhouse are wonderful. Plenty of parking, rooms were lovely....neighbours were gorgeous if a bit noisy whilst being milked!!! If you want a little gem of a place to stay in Derby, look no more..... you will love Mackworth Farmhouse”

“First visit to a lodge since my wife has been in a wheelchair. The lodge was exceptionally clean, well spaced and adapted for wheelchairs. In a lovely location in the woods with lovely walks and wildlife. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were good facilities on site. Highly recommended.”

“A lovely place to stay. 2nd time this year we have stayed. Everything you need is there, perfect hosts. Lovely location, 6 mins walk from pubs and restaurants. Highly recommend.”

“Owners couldn’t do enough for us amazing relaxed location lodges very well stocked with everything you could need most relaxed week I’ve ever had thank you”

“I’ve completed two long weekends worth of training at Shining Cliff and have been based at the hostel for both. A decent walk into the incredible woods, this lovely little hostel gives you everything you need to move out into the wild just enough to immerse yourself in nature. Kate looks after the hostel and a lot of the woodland facilities. There is so much love and care taken with the management and encounters with Kate are always great. Can’t wait to go back soon!”

“My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Old Lockup during our recent holiday in England; it provides very comfortable accommodations and is a great base for exploring the Peak District. Wonderful breakfast, free parking, quirky decor, friendly and hospitable host - very pleasant experience. Thanks again, Tim :)”

“Stayed only for one night in glamping pod Ash as a mid-way point to home. Friendly owner greeted us and showed us our glamping pod and explained the layout/amenities. Pod was clean and contained all the essentials you could possibly think of. Each pod has their own shower and toilet facility within the "toilet block" for the pods. It's a clean, small, amd peaceful site with plenty of walks in the area and a nice pub within a 15-20 minute walk. Great first experience in a pod. I would highly recommend this camp site. P.S. we greatly appreciated the owners letting us park our car and small caravan on site while we used the pod as we didn't want to unload and put down the feet just for a one night, shirt stay. Thanks again--we enjoyed our stay!”

“Hospitality is key and Brian the landlord absolutely delivered. Genuinely warm greeting and kind guy. Makes you feel welcome. It’s a forgotten but vital ingredient when you stay away from home. Thank you for a lovely stay.”

“beautiful campsite we had the best 6 days we didn't want to come bk if ur looking to get bk to nature around your camp fire this is the site for that they have shower facilities n toilets pot wash room and u can even charge your phones but makesure to bring a light as at night it dark best deal on logs to there is nothing that isn't to much for the staff who are so so friendly we had the best time n cannot wait to come bk”

“Lovely place to relax, very clean, nice setting.”

“Great place in the beautiful area. They have a play room, tennis court. Big lake near by. Plenty routes if you like to hiking. Cottage fully equipped! Dogs friendly. We travel all the way from London and didn't regret! Owner is a great and friendly person.”

“The Boot is half walk to meet my mom, and we’ll 100% be back. Fabulous location just off the A38, and plenty of parking. The food was sublime and a wine list to generously accompany the dishes. A running theme with all my reviews is that I like a nice wine list and the Boot offers exactly that. The food was so fresh and full of flavour, beautifully presented. A real Gastro Pub that welcomes dogs which is important for us as a family of dog owners, who enjoy the finer things. Thank you to the wonderful Heidi who look after us, you made mom’s birthday experience thorough enjoyable. We’ll be back!”

“We absolutely adored this little gem the room was lovely and the staff were so helpful and lovely The food was delicious and a fantastic menu and lovely breakfast too The only thing I could recommend they do is put a mirror in the bedroom area of the family room”

“The Flowerpot is one of Derby’s gems. Fantastic live music in an intimate setting, with great sound and atmosphere every single night. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the service is always quick despite how busy it gets. A brilliant range of beers on tap, plus good value for money. The crowd is lively but respectful, creating a great vibe whether you’re here for a gig or just a pint. Consistently an excellent night out – easily one of the best venues in Derby. I really hope they’ll consider creating more opportunities for private functions here as I can think of no better place to host a special occasion.”

“We booked last minute. What a lovely lively place. Caters for everyone, the food was excellent, the service first class and it was great value for money. We will definitely return.”

“Stayed here for one night in late November in one of their cosy Wildhives, it is a lovely escape. The room was beautifully rustic and comfortable, a touch chilly on a crisp Derbyshire evening, but the blankets were plush and it added to that authentic outdoor vibe. Location is a total winner: 5 minutes’ walk to the Ashbourne end of the Tissington Trail. We strolled up to Tissington village. Next time we’ll definitely hire one of their bikes or e-bikes (they have plenty available on site) and ride the full 13-mile trail. The food… I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Dinner was outstanding: perfectly seared scallops to start, followed by calf’s liver cooked pink and silky with incredible depth of flavour, finished with a cracking local cheeseboard and a glass of port by the fire. Breakfast the next morning was just as good – proper quality ingredients, everything cooked spot-on. And the cherry on top: we booked a 60-minute massage in the little spa on Sunday morning before checkout. Absolute bliss. My therapist was brilliant, worked out every knot after knot, and we both floated out completely relaxed. The perfect full-stop to the stay. Peaceful, beautiful, friendly staff, incredible food and that spa treatment sent us home properly recharged. If you’re anywhere near the Peak District, do yourself a favour and book Wildhive. You won’t regret it.”

“Went there for Sunday lunch with the family. One dog, a toddler and a baby with 5 adults. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was great and the atmosphere was really nice. Seems to attract nice, unpretentious but intelligent customers. Definitely go back.”

“Third visit here for food. Each meal excellent, steak is beautiful, and cooked to perfection. We also had curry and chilli on a Thursday autumn special offer both of which were gorgeous, curry and chilli just right. Staff are lovely and very attentive and friendly. Will be back”

“great campaign site. Well maintained and friendly staff. We were campaigning in front of the lake with electric hookup. This was our second time camping here. And we have booked again for next year at the same pitch. The amenities are great and all ways cleaner. A nice little shop as well. Very dog friendly. We can't wait for next year already.”

“A Fantastic Dining Experience at The Queen’s Head We had a wonderful evening at The Queen’s Head. The pork tomahawk and sirloin steak were both cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. Paired with a lovely bottle of red wine, the meal was truly memorable. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, making us feel very welcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food and a warm atmosphere!”

“We had a great time here, stayed at a dog friendly cottage which was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Also having the pool was a really nice touch.”

“Great Sunday lunch and genuine great service. We went in to see what it was like before booking out the place for a wedding nearby. Loved the food can’t wait to return!!”

“We loved this pub! We had two dinners and drinks here. The staff were friendly, fun and helpful. The ambience was cozy and comfortable, perfect for our group of 5. The food was well prepared and delicious.”
