All adequate but the room could have done with a tv for when you want to relax at night , or a bar on sight. The rooms are basic and could do with a little make over but it is comfy & clean. All the staff were very friendly until it came to the morning of check out (which is... More

We stayed for one night as a stop-over between Manchester and London. The hotel has a beautiful setting - we had good views from our room in one of the side towers. The room was comfortable, and the hotel itself was excellent value for money, particularly as the cost included access to the swimming pool. We did not eat at... More

Lovely for a quite break. No tv or bar but its a short walk to matlock if you fancy a pint or a curry or fish and chips to die for. Ideal place for walking. Bring a flash light for walk back through the castle grounds.

We chose to spend a night here simply based on the price, and I'd say we got what we paid for. The staff, breakfast and pool were great, the bed was comfy and the view was very nice. The rooms are shabby and in real need of some investment, but for the price you shouldn't feel robbed. It was a... More

We booked in to this hotel which had very good reviews on trip advisor as we wanted to treat our family to a night away. Not at all what we expected, the food was poor and we decided to return home instead of staying another night.

What a wonderful place to stay. Steeped in the hills and dales yet vey close to shops of Cromford and Matlock. The views are amazing and the building itself is old but comfortable. Very clean, nice food, good sized room, comfy bed, lovely staff, nice pool, really really enjoyed my stay. Plus excellent value for money would definitely return.

As ardent athiest we left with faith in Britsh customer service evangelically restored and if walls could speak what an amazing tale this majestic, eccentric old place would tell. As others have said breakfast is an unlimited spread of well cooked sausage, bacon, eggs, hash browns etc (I gained 9lbs in 17 minutes) and yes there's the usual chicken feed... More

We visited Willersley as part of a church group. This was our fourth time here. Our group was much smaller than the last time and so there was much less pressure on the staff, particularly at mealtimes, so service was better. The regular staff are very helpful but some of the newer staff did seem to need a bit more... More

This is a terrible place to stay. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, there is too much yummy food, it is far too comfortable and too hot. But on a positive note, no TVs in the rooms, peace and quiet, fantastic views, lovely surroundings. The wifi is limited in range, so you probably need to sit in the hallway... More
