This was the fourth time I stayed at the Riverlights Premier Inn in Derby (on occasion of the…read moreannual Winter Ales Festival at The Roundhouse) - I always enjoy booking Premier Inn rooms, because they're just so reliably good. And such good value! If you choose the "Saver" option - i.e. after 24 hours you cannot cancel your reservation without having to pay the full price - these nicely furnished *** en suite rooms won't be more expensive than those at some fleabag in the city with shared bathroom facilities. Just make sure in advance that you really wanna go. All you can eat cooked breakfast is optional, and not cheap - I never book it because I prefer different kinds of breakfast (or no breakfast) on different days. The rooms all come en suite with a shower (Though this time, mine was sadly lacking any real water pressure!), a king size double with a very comfy mattress - good sleep quality is guaranteed - and more than adequate storage for your stuff. Efficient room service every day. Everything's kinda neat here - and everything's kinda "mauve". And that's the only reason I don't use Premier Inn exclusively when travelling in the UK. There's only so much mauve than I can take. ;) - Great location for Derby city centre and the directly adjacent Bus Station. Derby Midlands Rail Station is a 15 minute walk away, and the river's right next to it.

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.

What an amazing place. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the property is large enough to…read morego for a morning or evening stroll to take in the beauty of its carefully manicured gardens or walking paths. This property also has a golf course, so you'll see lots of foot traffic around the back side, where there's a restaurant and golf shop. We stayed at the property for a couple of nights and our room was great. It faced the interior, so we could see a beautiful flower garden and more of a wooded area. Our room was a bit dated but well maintained. One thing I did not realize until we arrived is that our room, at least (and maybe all rooms), did not have air conditioning. Luckily for us, the (summer) temperature was comfortable, but this could be an issue if you visit during a hot spell. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant both mornings and it was delightful. A traditional English spread (buffet) with self seating. Overall, staff was great. The only thing I'd caution against is the amount of stairs you'll have to go up and down trying to get from one place to the other just within the hotel since the topography has rooms and hallways at all levels. Pack lightly or ask for your bags to be delivered to your room at arrival.

The lift is broken too. Honestly the best thing about this hotel is the giant bell at the front desk.

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.

The building, rooms, food, staff and surrounding countryside views were all excellent. If you are to stay here for a short weekend break, or thinking of holding your wedding here, I would definitely recommend it. It is well located just off the A6 and is found a few miles away from the town of Belper. The hotel itself is located on a hill side and looks across the river valley towards Duffield. On a nice day, it is really nice to sit in the gardens and have a drink, or have a meal in the conservatory restaurant. The food is a little on the pricey side though. It really does live up to its 4 star standards, and would definitely be recommended.
