I travel to Derby all the time to do business with Rolls Royce and have stayed in all the major hotels at one time or another. This place is really close to the RR site so I thought I would give it a go. To be honest I usually spend a bit more on accomodation than this but I was... More

The room and the food were excellent it has changed a lot from the last time I stayed there all the staff very friendly and could not do enough for you especially those on the early morning breakfast shift. The only reason that i knocked it down from excellent to very good in my review was that the first night... More

Very disappointed on Saturday night with the quality of food at the Lawns. Both starters and main courses were ordered. Two of the starters were served up cold!!! as you can imagine Chilli Nachos and Vegetable Nachos with Cheese should not be cold. They were swiftly whisked away and warmed up, but not the same 2nd time around. After our... More

Went for a family party and the food was preordered. Not only did that have to retake all the orders but they had changed the menu. Service took forever and the food was of poor quality. The turkey tasted like it had been sat in the kitchen since last Christmas.

I'd not been to the Lawns for many years but thought I'd give it a try as it's visually changed a lot and has new owners. We had beef bourguignon (I don't believe the meat was cooked with the sauce, it seemed very manufactured i.e. boil in the bag), steak (my daughter seemed happy with this) and lamb shank (the... More

I am only giving this a 1* with regard to disabled access both inside and out. Do not go if you have someone in a wheelchair or mobility problems. No access without outside and inside steps. Ladies had to climb step to get into toilet cubicle. Don't know about gents but my husband needed a disabled one anyway and wouldn't... More

We had booked in to stay overnight for a family gathering but sadly this place failed to meet expectations on a number of levels. Firstly, the price of the rooms seemed expensive for the size. There appeared to be one plug in the room that had to be used for everything electrical. Cleanliness was a significant issue especially in the... More
