Our thanks to Kay, Vorchek (I hope that is spelt correctly) and the team at Makeney Hall for making our daughter & son-in-laws wedding a very special occasion from start to finish.

We have just returned from a two night stay at this hotel and were very disappointed with it. The rooms were looking tired and the room we had was within the enclosed courtyard area. Although this looks attractive from the outside the reality is that during the summer there is no air in the rooms and they just overheat, making... more

We booked a room for two nights to attend a family wedding in Belper. When we arrived we were disappointed to find that we had been allocated a twin room when we had requested a double.
