    Mickleover Court - Executive Room with King Bed

    Mickleover Court

    I spent 10 nights based at this hotel and on the whole it was ok…read more The bedrooms are well appointed ample electrical points for those on business trips, the beds are comfortable and I had no problems sleeping, even on the first night which is usually my worst nights sleep when away. The food is of the standard hotel variety but it does the job. The meal selection is decent and has fish through to steak for those who enjoy their meat. They do have a gym on site which has the latest machines for all those gym junkies who might stay there. The room service was quick and pleasant but it does add £3.50 to your bill. There are lots of seats in the lobby area as I saw many people conducting business meetings over a coffee. The bar is open late however after 11pm all drinks have to be charged to your room no cash is taken after this point! The staff were all helpful and there was always someone around if you needed assistance. My only real bug bear is that the free wifi wasn't the strongest or the most reliable. If it was better I would have given them 4 stars ;-) but hey at least it was free and not an additional cost as in some hotels I have stayed in!

    My work held their Christmas party here a couple of years ago renting out one of the function rooms…read morewith some other parties and it was very disappointing. The food was really awful. I had traditional Christmas dinner with soup, turkey and vegetables then Christmas pudding. The soup tasted like it came from a can, the vegetables were over cooked and rubbery, the meat was dry, but to be fair, the pudding was ok. Service was slow with a number of staff being a bit clumsy as plates were dropped more than once and a few messes made. The DJ (which consisted of some guy and his 12 year old son)was an improvement however, playing a good mix and not too much cheese. Can't say what their normal restaurant is like, nor what the hotel rooms are like, however, the meal here was enough to put me off ever coming back again.

    The Blenheim House hotel and restaurant is just on the outskirts of Etwall. I've probably been to…read morethe Blenheim, virtually every week for the last six years, its a great place to go and relax, have a coffee and the let the troubles of the world melt away. Friendly staff, luxuriant surroundings and décor, also add to the experience. There are comfy sofas and leather chairs in the lounge area, or more traditional tables in the 'snug', which is where we mainly dine; whereas the more formal dining area, has that little bit of elegance for that special occasion. Having been through many incarnations since my original review, it was time for an update. The lunch/lounge menu, consists of dishes like hot and cold sandwiches, with the accompanying sides of dressed salad and the Blenheim's legendary chips, so tasty!; They also do pizzas, themed on cities around the world like Roma, Parma, New Delhi and of course, Derby! There are other dishes like burgers, hot and cold meze platters and the fish of the day. The burger was strangely underwhelming, but the Sea Bream, Salmon or Sea Bass when they are on, are definitely stand out dishes, a perfect balance of flavours. The Blenheim is on the pricey side, but the food on the whole is excellent, a great place to wile away a few hours, in comfortable surroundings.

Here, even though they were getting ready for a 200 person bash - they were friendly and accomodating, even setting a table for us despite our only wanting a bar snack. 5 stars for that! The food was ok - I have a feeling it's actually much better, but I'm letting them off because they were obviously very busy! We were also able to finish our work in the bar; we weren't rushed and didn't feel pressured to go; even the tables being carried past us! xx

    Littleover Lodge is a hotel with 16 En-suite rooms, a function room for weddings, a restaurant…read morecalled 'Highfields House' and a bistro called 'The Lodge Carvery'. We have sampled the carvery on numerous occasions, the food is very well priced at £6.25 for Sunday Lunch and £3.99 in the evenings from Monday - Saturday. There is even a deal on most of the time, where if you choose from a reduced selection of about six main courses, you get the main and a starter for £3.99, that takes some beating! The carvery usually has a selection of different roasted meats which you can sample, but you have to pay a little extra for lamb. In addition to the carvery, there is also a fairly good selection of what I would term standard pub meals. The surroundings are comfortable, and the food is honest and tasty, well worthy of the budget price. We recently went on a Saturday evening and got four meals - 3 courses for £25, bargain! It is a popular place all the time because of the price and the quality, so it would be advisable to book. It is often jam-packed by 6.30pm. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of a culinary experience, but a good hearty meal nonetheless. Will definitely sample the restaurant soon.

    Me and my partner stayed here on a small weekend visit to the area. I am very glad we chose this…read moreHotel. The location could not be better, you walk out the door and you are facing the shopping high street. The parking is great, you can park your car in the secure car park and leave it there for your stay, the car park is shared by the bus station and shopping centre I believe. The room was good, can't fault it. I didn't have much of a view but it doesn't really matter. They offer smoking rooms which is a rarity these days, I had a smoking room myself and they are situated a long, long way down the corridors from non-smoking rooms. So if you want a smoking room, prepare yourself for a long walk. The staff were very polite on the desk and in the bar area. The receptionist had good knowledge of the local area and was able to help us get around. The breakfast was excellent, probably one of the best hotel buffet-style breakfasts I have ever had. If you stay here I highly recommend making sure you make it to breakfast.

The team there has made my stay very enjoyable, they look after everything - future room bookings, information around town, events, busy times etc. The hotel itself is new, modern and clean. The food in the restaurant is good (breakfast and evening meals). The location is great - close to restaurants and bars ss well as a good running track along the river. I would definitely recommend staying here if you need to be in Derby.

There is a sign of a one hour wait to be served but I think this was inaccurate. I ordered the Sunday lunch at the bar, it came less than 10 mins. Roast pork loin, very small stuffing ball, a small piece of crackling. My request for extra crackling was not honored. Roast potatoes, the roasted vegetables , some peas pods and an over cooked Yorkshire pudding. Food was warm and not hot. The gravy was bland the whole meal was bland, with little flavor or seasoning. The bar area was a bit noisy with crashing bottles into the recycle bin, and the usual meaningless background music. Service was ok, but no acknowledgement when I was leaving. This meal gave no reason to return.

    Swarkestone is a small village south of Derby, in a lovely setting next to the River Trent…read more It's one of those places that has rather too much of historical interest for its size: the bridge and causeway over the Trent, originally built in the 13th century, together form the longest stone bridge in the UK. Its seventeen arches stretch over three-quarters of a mile (1 km). The present handsome spans over the river date from the mid 1700s. The Cavaliers and Roundheads clashed here in 1643 during the English Civil War, and it's where Bonnie Prince Charlie's army stopped and turned back in 1745, ensuring the collapse of the Jacobite rebellion. There has been a pub on the site of the Crewe and Harpur Arms for over 800 years, but the present coaching inn has 'only' been there for about 200. This handsome red brick building is spacious inside, with a central bar, and serves a selection of real ales and typical pub grub. The decor has had a modern makeover, a bit bland for my taste: but the real attraction is, in any case, outside: it has a lovely, large beer garden which runs down to the River Trent, alongside the famous bridge. Although it's close to the road, noise doesn't seem to intrude. It's a lovely spot on a summer's day. Swarkestone is on a lovely circular walk, taking in the River Trent and the nearby Trent and Mersey Canal. It takes about three hours and would make a perfect evening stroll - ending back at the pub, of course...
