Lakes Peninsula Yoga Holidays

It was a quiet but very outdated. In need of a complete overall. Used the pub on the first night for food and drinks but wasn't impressed. Long wait to be served but the staff were very polite. Did not rate the food. Having said that the breakfast was very good. Cooked fresh. It was a good price and you get what you pay for.

A real treat to stay at this hotel. Quirky interiors, very chilled, and an excellent breakfast. I also used the gym which was superb.

Hotel was fine but nothing special, not sure how it’s got 4*. Hairs in the bathroom and the air con didn’t work, view was also facing out to a wall. Room did have a fridge and a coffee machine and the bathroom’s fairly modern. Rooms could probably do with a revamp.

I chose this property as it was directly on top of the bus station (we were going to see Black Sabbath in Birmingham, had coach tickets from Derby to Villa Park, and the pick up point was Derby bus station). There was no parking on site, but the secure parking on Bold Lane is between a 5 and 10 minute walk from the hotel. I can't fault anything about the hotel - it was clean, the room was a good size, all the usual things were provided - towels, shower gel, shampoo, tea and coffee. There was a fridge in our room (don't know whether this is standard in all the rooms). All the staff that we had any dealings with - reception, bar staff, cleaners, dining room - without exception were brilliant. Friendly and helpful, you felt nothing was too much trouble. Special shout out to Bethany, the (for want of a better description) Maitre d' - when we went for breakfast, she said if we wanted anything, such as pancakes, that wasn't on the breakfast buffet, to just ask. She also came round topping up your fruit juice when she wasn't greeting customers. The breakfast choice was excellent - there was a healthy option section, a hot buffet section, and a section with tea, coffee, cereal and fruit juices. I can't really comment on the area around the property, as we didn't arrive until about 9pm on the Friday night, we were up and out of the hotel for 8.30am on the Saturday morning, back there at 1am Sunday morning and left to go home at 10.30am on Sunday.

Good clean spacious room

The room was very stylishly decorated , it was clean and I liked the kitchen , I didn’t enjoy the breakfast as it was cold , but apart from that I enjoyed my stay

Really great apartment & pool

Just a little bit overrated for a 5*. Felt more like a 4* to us. One of those establishments trying to bridge the gap of 4* to 5* with quirky/inventive touches. The lobby is cramped as was the room. Major construction work going on so very noisy. Bar nothing special but very very expensive drinks. £38 glass of Chardonnay!!! Without the construction noise I’d call it a decent 4*

Lovely old house, very friendly staff.

Friendly staff - easy check in
