We booked here several weeks in advance purposely picking a date to avoid the seasonal rush. I asked at that time what the menu contained and was told it had not been decided yet what the December menu would be. Fair enough. In December I looked at the website and found a great choice of two menus ( favourites and... more

We have just returned after two really nice nights. The hotel is lovely, staff are very friendly and cant do enough for you, we felt very well looked after, very professionally run. The food is exceptional, breakfast outstanding, dinner is too with good choices and beautifully presented. Our standard room was rather small but we had a special rate which... more

We were lucky enough to enjoy a night at East Lodge for a quick relaxing break before the Christmas rush begins. We don't live far away but felt a million miles away from the day to day grind from the minute we arrived. I can honestly say we enjoyed and made the most of everything the hotel has to offer... more

It is a great pleasure to find such a delightful hotel with all the warmth and care only a family business can offer. As someone who has been involved with the travel trade for forty years as a provider, and now as a travel PR consultant I would highly recommend every aspect of East Lodge. We went as a wedding... more

To celebrate my mother's 90th birthday my sister and I organised a helicopter flight over Chatsworth House and the Bamford Dams. Although East Lodge was simply our take off and landing point the staff could not have been more obliging or kind; demonstrating a professionality rarely found these days. My partner and I travelled from our home in Italy specifically... more

Such a shame as the service in the hotel... more

Well I don't quite know where to start singing the praises of East Lodge. We had our wedding reception there on the 5th September and it was the most amazing day of our lives. We booked the Gold package which mean't exclusive use of the hotel for the whole day and night and it was so worth it. The staff... more

The Staff is polite and helpful. The hotel is well situated with a lovely view of the countryside. The bath in our room had been recently updated. It had a towel warmer, a shower and a TV in front of the deep soaking tub (how decadent). Though I had trouble using it, the free Wifi is a nice plus. The... more
