Hellaby Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel with good food"

Damon's Hotel

8/10 Good

"First time in a standard room as we normally book one of the hot tub rooms. Very comfortable stay. Was a little noisy with some of the guests making noise way after midnight and running up and down the corridors but other than that an enjoyable stay."

Mosborough Hall Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and great staff. Natalie who was on reception checked me in and was really helpful and made sure I had all the information I needed and made me feel most welcome. I stayed in one of the suites and the room was very clean and had everything in that I needed for my 2 night stay. Loads of parking available. Bar was nice and the food I had in the bar was really nice. Would highly recommended and would definitely stop again. Thanks again to all the staff and again to Natalie who was extremely friendly and very welcoming. Steven."

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bed comfy. BBC tv coverage bad. Bathroom needs upgrading. Room 115. Breakfast good but chaotic - there was not enough info on ordering various items and what order to move around the various item tables. Finding staff to take order not easy. Staff were v pleasant. Reception staff excellent Didn’t use any spa facilities so can’t comment. Overall impression that the whole building needs attention. Very good position for Chesterfield."

Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to relax after a long day. The location was also very convenient, especially for anyone travelling by electric car, as there is a rapid EV charger nearby. This made charging the car easy and hassle-free during stay. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Overall, a comfortable room, convenient location, and excellent service made this a very enjoyable stay. I would happily stay here again."
