A most enjoyable long weekend stay with my family. I cannot fault any aspect of the Derby hotel. The hosts Ivan & Tim were very friendly & welcoming. Would definitely recommend the Derby as a great place to stay, five stars from the Milton family.

Good hotel in good quiet location

The hotel is not a five star boutique if there are such things. This hotel is owned and operated by nice, genuine people who go the extra mile for their customers. I have stayed in many hotels throughout the country and Europe for work and have not often seen hoteliers that go to such lengths to look after their customers. Breakfast was very nice and was better and served hotter than the breakfasts we had paid £25 for the previous weekend.
