We enjoyed our stay at this comfy hotel with our baby. The rooms were spacious, and a hot shower after exploring the Pickford's House was just what we needed. The breakfast was good, and the staff were generally nice, making our family feel welcome.

My children wanted better sound insulation from the road.

Great location and comfy stay

We stayed for a night and loved the location! The room was super clean, and the big bed made for a cozy sleep. Staff were friendly and super helpful. We had breakfast, which was delish, but the shower wasn’t the best – kinda weak. Still, this place is worth it!

convenient access to parks and local cafes creates a lovely stay

I enjoyed the excellent continental breakfast and great hospitality from the friendly staff, and the easy stroll to Belper Park Local Nature Reserve was a highlight of my trip.

I had a lovely stay for two nights where the room was very comfortable with a big bed, and I enjoyed the great continental breakfast each morning. The sun terrace was a nice spot to relax, and the garden area offered some peaceful moments. The bathroom could use a little updating, but overall, it was a nice experience for a getaway. 😊

The hotel offered a really friendly atmosphere, while the food was outstanding, especially the Eggs Royal. my room felt uncomfortably hot during the summer, even with a fan. The lack of air conditioning made it hard to relax, but overall, it was a nice experience.

I truly enjoyed the charming rustic decor, with well-preserved 18th-century elements that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally attentive, making my stay as comfortable as possible, especially for seniors like me.

Faster service at breakfast would be beneficial.

during my recent stay, i was pleasantly surprised by how much better the experience was compared to my last visit in belper. the service was attentive, and my king-size room was both spacious and cozy, perfect for a restful night after a fantastic walking tour. the atmosphere throughout the hotel felt warm and inviting.

the shower was incredibly small.

The rustic decor and warm atmosphere were delightful, making me feel cherished during my stay. The well-preserved 18th-century elements and spacious areas are especially inviting for seniors like myself, creating a cozy ambiance throughout.

Faster service at breakfast would enhance the experience.

Good parking and pleasant staff. food was a letdown for dinner.

The king size room offered spacious comfort, and the high standard of decoration added to a pleasant stay. the breakfast experience was disappointing. the continental options were inadequate, and we faced issues with the full English breakfast, including soggy toast. While the homemade jams were a lovely touch, the dining experience felt inconsistent, affecting the overall enjoyment.

our overnight stay at the lion was fantastic. check-in was easy, and the staff were not only pleasant but quietly efficient. we really enjoyed our king-size room, and the dining experience looked great with many guests being served. overall, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming thanks to the staff's attention to detail.

central to delightful parks and charming city strolls

During my stay, I loved how it's just a short walk to the Bookcafe for a cozy coffee and also close to the stunning St John's Chapel Heritage Centre, making my city explorations a breeze. the breakfast was great too, with tasty options and outstanding staff all around.

Comfortable stay with great dining options

I had a lovely time during my two-night stay. the king-size room was very spacious and cozy, which made for a restful night. The dining experience was a highlight, with a fantastic meal at the bar that exceeded my expectations. their knowledge of whiskey was impressive too! I did find the bed a bit too firm for my liking.

enjoyable stay with room for improvement

The room was clean and well-maintained. We appreciated the quick check-in process, making our arrival smooth. The staff demonstrated great knowledge about local attractions.

The free continental breakfast options were limited.
