Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club
Found in the rolling countryside of central England, just south of the Peak District National Park, Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club's recently refurbished hotel is the perfect spot for a country escape. Golfers are able to enjoy two distinct championship golf courses, the Priory and the Moorland. The Priory steals the show as one of the East Midland’s top tracks, but the Moorland, designed by Donald Steel, is more than worthy of being played.
Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club is located in Derbyshire, on the outskirts of Derby itself, this great central location makes it easy to get to for golfers across the UK. The hotel at Breadsall Priory Marriott Hotel & Country Club is a piece of local history, a magnificent Grade II listed building that dates back to the 11th Century. However, nothing inside is out of date, with excellently appointed rooms and modern facilities, including a spa and restaurant.

Golf Courses at Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club
Priory Course
The Championship Priory course is the premier layout at the resort, and since its inception in 1977, has emerged as one of the best in the local area. The Priory skirts the stunning hotel, and requires accurate play to negotiate the tree-lined fairways. Though not particularly long, the Priory is demanding, and attracts visitors back again and again with its charm and spectacular views.

Moorland Course
Breadsall Priory's second course is the Moorland, which differs in style to the Priory, offering golfers a great variety. Set amidst the lush Derbyshire countryside, the Moorland is more open, but is also fortunate to offer views to equal its neighbour.
Breadsall Priory is one of the few resorts in the East Midlands to have two 18-hole courses, making it a great choice for a golf break.
Signature Hole- No 12 (Priory Course):
Par 4, 346 yards, SI 6
The Priory's signature 12th provides the golfer with spectacular views from an elevated tee. The fairway has a slight dogleg right, and with the pin often placed at the right side of the small green, it is important to hit to the left side so that the tree doesn't block your view on the approach!
Accommodation at Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club
The magnificent stately residence that is now home to Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club dates back to 1260, and the historic setting is one of the most spectacular destinations for a golf break in the Midlands.
The façade of the Grade II listed construction is in stark contrast to the contemporary facilities that await inside. The 112 guest rooms are designed and furnished to complement the traditional style of the house, but also feature all the modern amenities that are expected from a top quality hotel.
Food & Drink
Start your day with a taste of British culture at the Priory Restaurant, which serves breakfast in a traditional setting. In the evening, you can opt for a more laid-back dining experience at The Cast Iron Bar and Grill, located in a historic wine cellar, where you can enjoy the best of British cuisine.
Leisure Facilities
The Spa Experience at Delta Hotels by Marriott Breadsall Priory Country Club offers treatments including body wraps and scrubs, facials, manicures, pedicures, massages and waxing. Meanwhile, the leisure club and fitness centre has a range of cardiovascular training equipment and free weights, in addition to a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa pool.

Staff couldn’t do more. It was my first stay away completely solo and the staff where extremely friendly and made me feel less awkward than I felt.
8 / 10
Rooms were in very good order, comfortable and well furnished. The included evening meal was from a table d'hote selection, was well presented and generally tasty. It was rather strange that there was no table drinks service. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
8 / 10
Unfortunately we didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy the hotel but the food was good and the rooms very good.
We played golf far too late on day one and it was all too much of a rush

staff were not receptive when asked to renew coffee sachets in the room. Messages from reception didnt get through.

Staff were very helpfull and hotel set in superb location
8 / 10
The hotel was very good, rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Food was good quality, very good breakfast. THe evening meal was a set menu, with a choice of 4 starters, mains & puddings. My only gripe is that the prices we were charged in the resort were more than advertised on the website and, like most hotels, drinks are expensive. Also the £100 credit resort was a little tricky to allocate between 12 people - we ended up buying prizes from the pro shop with it. Overall a really good trip - the golf courses are excellent!
8 / 10
The rooms were clean and tidy but several of our rooms had leaking shower doors so we had to use towels to soak up the water! The bars do not sell alcohol until 11am! The food was good, staff were friendly. golf courses in very good condition (an open halfway house would have been nice and a good little earner i'd say!

Excellent hotel with great amenities. Food was really good and the service was top class. Bar prices were a bit steep but you expect that. Overall a great stay and would recommend a visit.

Everything was brilliant, apart from the rooms to sleep. Too hot with not enough opening from the windows - considering no air con.
6 / 10
Decent hotel, but some issues with surly staff (hotel, restaurant and golf shop) who have little idea what good customer service looks like. Some staff were fine, but there were several across the weekend who were pretty terrible - unhelpful and obstructive.

Lovely hotel the only problem with it is the bar shuts at 7 pm Monday to Thursday
We was a party of 20 and like a drink the bar for hotel open but was so small couldn’t get a drink for a long time only 1 person behind bar

Nice place. Quality golf courses. Would recommend. The whole up is very good
10 / 10
Large rooms with large bed, sette and desk so very spacious. Bathroom was good. Facilities and food were very good. The only small niggle is that the bar would not run a tab so it meant paying for every individual round. Otherwise, excellent and would go back again. Pro shop staff were very helpful.
10 / 10
Great location, good standard rooms, and other facilities. Everyone in our group of 16 enjoyed their evening meal and breakfast, with no complaints. Bar selection good, prices as to be expected. Super friendly staff everywhere. Will be going again in the next few years.

A group of 27 stayed recently and we all agreed that the hotel and facilities were top notch! The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Rooms were a generous size and very comfortable. The food was good quality also. We had a wonderful stay and would come back again.

The hotel was very nice with some lovely features due to being built around the old priory.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food on the set course menu was outstanding.
The rooms are functional and do the job adequately but could do with freshening up and adopting a more modern feel.
Overall, a very nice stay.

Enjoyed stay in room…did not like trek up and down stairs to get there !!
8 / 10
Spent 2 nights as part of golf break. Rooms are spread out over a wide area, so we had quite a long walk from our room to the bar/restaurant. room was big, two big beds, tea/coffee making stuff, decent tv. Food served from 6pm which was good. 3 course set menu was very good value - although a la carte menu available as well. Service was slow on the second night of our visit. Not enough staff, and all seemed a bit disorganised e.g. Ordered 3 Guinness at our table which never arrived but were put on the bill (charge removed after we brought to staff attention). Waitress very apologetic and seemed to be trying her best. Food itself was well presented and tasted great.
Bars close at 11pm with no night porter bar service.
Overall, hotel was good and was good value.
10 / 10
Reliance on a lot of young staff in both bar and restaurant, which is absolutely fine, but it’s important they’re supported in their interactions with customers.
10 / 10
Hotel,ticked all the boxes.Staff,rooms and the food were all excellent. We had a group of 14 and no one had any complaints on any issues Unfortunately the pool area was closed due to maintenance,on travels to other hotels most of the group use the pool area,but this didn't spoil the trip.All looking forward to returning to repeat.

Thought hotel was very good, rooms very good clean and comfortable.
Only down side was the lay out of hotel, a lot of walking around as it is like a maze to find rooms and back to reception.
8 / 10
Rooms were good but getting from accommodation to restaurant was difficult, particularly for those with mobility issues. Long corridors and having to go up and down several stairs . Drinks were very expensive and the food mediocre.

For an overnight stay the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. The golf pro was also very helpful.
6 / 10
A few basic things lacking in rooms, soap, shower gel and hair dryer not working . Evening meal only Luke warm
The hotel was very comfortable although lacked some facilities considering it is out on its own, a pool table would be a good addition and more TV's in the bar area to watch sport.
The pool and spa could do with some work, leaking roof etc.
Staff were not the most accommodating, everything seemed to be too much of an ask. For example, we couldn't have buggies until 20 minutes before tee time, any extra requests at dinner were also a no
10 / 10
lovely location, good rooms and service. Based on a ‘package’ stay with golf, the evening meal was based of a set menu which was wide enough to give choice over the couple of nights. Food was good, very good breakfast spread to set up for a days golf.
8 / 10
All good. Friendly staff. They got the bill wrong first night but sorted out eventually.
8 / 10
Very comfortable hotel but not up to the standard of our last trip 2 years ago.
Very limited food options in the Tempo Bar ( only bacon or sausage baps) Shortages of wine stocks - and no brandy- in the Restaurant. Previously we loved the breakfast especially the chef making omelettes to order but he wasn’t there, and the smoked salmon has V been replaced by smoked ? Mackerel which didn’t look or taste fresh. Having said that the Rooms were excellent and the staff unfailingly helpful.
10 / 10
Was an excellent stay, great staff, really good food,,great room and nothing to fault! Excellent
6 / 10
Sadly even though we we’re told by one of your staff 3 days before we went, that we would play on the Priory twice due to conditions, this was factually incorrect it was on the Moorland twice
But then we only played on the Sunday due to both courses closed on the Monday.

Room was lovely. Golf bar very poor only sausage bap available which was poor. Evening meal very poor took 3 and half hours!

Nice location. Very tired hotel. Examples..Our loo didn't flush, restaurant a bit of a mess..white wine was served warm but in ice bucket so we waited, overcharged for wine, phoned in our room as restaurant hadn't taken my card details and had to return. Needs investment and good management.
8 / 10
Room was very big and comfortable, good view from window
4 / 10
This is a rambling complex. You not only require a buggy for the golf (essential) but also for the hotel.
We were a group of 9 but could not be seated together in the restaurant, having to be spread over two separate tables. Staff were good but management was lacking.
Overall experience average and well down the list for a return visit.

Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Restaurant service was superb on first night but appalling on the second night. After being seated we waited 30 minutes before having to ask for our order to be taken. Another 30 minutes and we had to chase them up. Our order was mixed up, no wine which we'd ordered, and steaks were incorrectly cooked (we'd asked for medium rare and got well done) and some aspects were cold. Overall it overshadowed the good parts of our stay.

Natasha the general manager on duty on our day of arrival was exceptional in looking after our party of 7 that had a few issues on arrival
She made our stay very enjoyable

Was a great course great food great accommodation staff very friendly only problem was bar was supposed to close at 11pm but they wasn't busy so called last orders at 10.15 pm.Also advised pizzas and cheese chips as snacks when tried to order said no one was trained to cook them very poor.

The hotel and food was good, however when we came off the course on Monday at about 2.15 we could not get anything to eat other than a toasted sandwich. This was very disappointing as we had long journeys home. This spoilt a great weekend for our group of 38. Ham egg and chips would have most welcome. This is why I have give only 3 stars for facilities.

Great golf bar. Superb atmosphere and set up for groups of golfers.

Fabulous location and surroundings- great courses .
The room was a little dated and the food was pub grub style but it was still fantastic value for money.
The staff are truly amazing -so bubbly , hard working and helpful- 5 star overall and would recommend.
8 / 10
Rooms and food very good for the money the biggest problem we encountered was with the bar by the first tee. The staff were very slow serving and did not seem to have had the correct training, also the price of some of the drinks seem to be excessive eg 1/2 pint of coke £2 75 and it closes at 6pm. There is another bar which does stay open later but nobody told us about until mthe second night.
10 / 10
Leah our waitress was excellent. A pleasant smile and always willing to help.Nothing was too much trouble.

Reception booking in very slow.
Food well presented and served.
A cup of tea costing £3 which we had to make ourselves was a bit high!
Staff courteous
Rooms very ample in size with good en-suite and add-ons.
A lot of walking up and down stairs to move around the hotel.

Everything okay courses good food excellent value for money ok but not impressed with staff in club shop been 4 times to this location and used your golf travel every time maybe time for a change
10 / 10
Faultless. All of the staff were excellent. The breakfast and evening meal times were arranged to accommodate our golf rounds. Highly recommended
8 / 10
This was a really lovely hotel and staff were very friendly. The only thing that took the edge off a perfect experience was that our table wasn't ready for us at 8.30, and when we were seated the menu choices for the package were not explained. Service was very slow, food was very nice, once it finally arrived. The manager explained this was due to staff being stretched with a wedding, however they did not explain this until we complained as we finally received our bill just before 11pm. The following day the food order at the bar took a long time to arrive too. Luckily we weren't in too much of a hurry!

Great location out in the countryside, rooms adequately equipped, food excellent, staff very friendly and facilities at the hotel very good. Finding your room was a bit of a task and could do with a bit more choice of beers at the bar. Overall Very Good! 😊
6 / 10
The hotel has a strange set that means that you have go up stairs then down stairs several times just to get to the reception and dining room. The food and service in the main dining room was good but the golf bar, clearly evidenced the lack of staff or new staff. One example of this was to wait nearly an hour for a portion of chips by one of our group.
8 / 10
Easy check in with great room overlooking the 18th green. Good value set menu dinner and a sturdy breakfast next morning.
A more than average experience
10 / 10
We were very impressed with the helpfulness of the staff even for the smallest things. (One slight criticism is that they are very swift in taking away plates etc between courses - perhaps too quick - it may be a Mariott policy.)
8 / 10
Overall we were very pleased with our stay, but we were fortunate that there were dry conditions on day 2 (Priory Course) as no Buggies would have been available for H&S reasons, as the course could be dangerous because of the slopes. However the Pro-shop staff said there would be no green-fee refunds at all for disabled golfers who would have been unable to play without a buggy. Very unsatisfactory for a party of "Veterans"!!! WHY, when the amounts involved are very small?
8 / 10
Beautiful setting 2 courses in superb condition.friendly helpful staff great value for money.will definitely return

Quality resort fabulous setting and helpful happy staff. All of our group complimented me for picking a great venue
10 / 10
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Breadsall Priory. We were grateful that we were able to postpone our trip (originally booked in 2020) and it was well worth the wait. Staff were excellent and we enjoyed playing the 2 courses (challenging though they were!). I would certainly recommend the hotel for a golfing break .
8 / 10
The Hotel,Golf Courses and staff we could not fault. Our room in the Mews was excellent. Our only gripe was on our first morning for breakfast,the plates were cold (although they were placed on a plate warmer). The food was also cold. On the second morning,the plates were cold again but thankfully the food was hot. We could not fault the evening meals,they were excellent.
10 / 10
One of the best hotels we have stayed in the twin rooms are spacious and 2 large double beds with tea/coffee condiments and 2 bottles of water handy for the next day the food was excellent would recommend a stay there

Great venue for a short golf break plenty of other courses nearby would recommend Morley Hayes
8 / 10
The rooms were very clean and the two queen size beds are perfect. The food in the restaurant was excellent on both days and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only gripe is the lack of staff in the Cast Iron Bar which meant we were waiting more than 10 minutes on two occasions to get served a drink!
10 / 10
Fantastic stay at Breadsall Priory which all of our Group thoroughly enjoyed.
All the staff were very friendly and hardworking and i would like to especially like to praise Martine who was superb and efficient and a credit to the Hotel well done !!!!
8 / 10
Hotel was really good and better than expected even though Marriott has a good name. Evening meals and breakfast were really good and the staff were brilliant going that extra mile. The golf, that’s a different story, moorland course was pleasant enough but would have been nice to have been told about green maintenance, we know it has to be done but some warning would have been nice. The priory course is the nicer of the two but can only be described as a slog if not using buggies, at the time we were there they were not allowing buggies out on the priory course, that also would have been nice to know in advance. All in all a good couple of nights away with perfect weather 👍😎

Lovely hotel with helpful staff. Food was very good. Hotel is very characterful and does have a faded grandeur rather than high end luxury. But all the things that really matter are there. Overall a great find and would definitely return.
10 / 10
Excellent hotel, in all aspects of the above.
Took some finding though, thank goodness for satnav.
Also,i am a 73 year old mail with a disability, ankle fusion operation, and cant walk without an aid, stick or crutches,i had a heart bypass 2015 so have to be careful up & down stairs.
I booked through "yourgolftravel" and informed them of my disabilities and would require a buggy for the two rounds of golf, Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th,they came back to me with, that buggies booked and to pay in pro shop £35 total for both days.
But after the Saturday game i was informed i would have to pay another £35 for Sunday.
Therefor I would like a refund of £35 from Breadsall Priory Hotel Golf & country Club, or Y,G,T.

The only reason why the bar and restaurant quality has been marked down is the appalling waiting service experienced in the restaurant for our evening meal. If the property does not have the staff required (numbers or adequately trained) they should revert to just offering a bar food service only.
The bar staff in the leisure complex area were excellent!
10 / 10
all excellent

Great hotel but they need extra staff in the bar and restaurant as we had to wait an age to be served our meals and drinks

11 of us travelled to Derby for a nice weekend of golf, after the past 18 months it was not expected to be quite back to normal as yet. The hotel did seem short staffed and there were some issues in bars and restaurants, but that is true of a lot of places currently so hard to judge if its an ongoing issue or caused by the current climate, the staff that were there seemed to do their best to help and were accommodating. The biggest issue was that although we had asked for buggies, and it was logged on the itinerary, the request had not been passed on to the golf course, again the staff did their best for us, and those that wouldn't have got round without a buggy got one, but some did have to walk the course when they would have preferred not to. I was told by staff that this was a common occurrence when booking through YGT so probably best to double check directly after booking, maybe YGT could look at their process as well.
All in all a nice weekend and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Everything was excellent, However very sorry for the bar and kitchen staff who were under a great amount of pressure due to the lack of support.

Great stay a little short staffed in bars. Evening meal was lovely. Breakfast was acceptable. Rooms were lovely and very comfortable beds. Pool was first class and steam and sauna rooms. Can’t fault the facilities.

Golf was relaxing and great
Accommodation tired and the hotel short staffed
The bar was under staffed and ran out of glasses and beer on one occasion and could do with a TV for sports in there
A wasps nest which was not tended to ..

Slight confusion when booking in but sorted out very quickly. Rooms had 2 double beds and shower in bath was powerful. Past reviewers were moaning about slow service throughout but we didn't encounter any delay during our meals and breakfast buffet was ideal. I would recommend that the bars have extra staff at busy times but overall very pleased.

Food not good enough versus our visit in 2019

The setting of Breadsall and its facilities are excellent. However it is let down by a lack of firm management: rubbish and cigarette butts strewn about, tables not cleared, appalling buffet with very limited quantities of food (except for an early breakfast which was fine), earnest but inexperienced staff lacking direction and training in customer service and, worst of all, a generally dirty environment - the dirt on the banisters in the modern block has to be seen to be believed for example - we have photos if management are interested. The room we had was very comfortable but attention needed to minor details eg mould around the bath. Could be a wonderful place to stay and play golf if management got its act together and sorted these issues out which do not require spending money.

Really disappointed with the hotel - service left a lot to be desired. Could not get lunch from the main restaurant even though it said you could on the TV in the room. Lunch was pre-packed sandwiches. Dinner we had our order "lost" so we waited ages and had a free drink because of the wait.
Would not stay there again unless it was for the golf courses.

Food was very disappointing in the evening & was amazed to find when we arrived at noon the hotel offered no food was so ever, not a sandwich or any hot food at all, nothing until 6.30pm when the restaurant opened! We won't be returning or recommending to our friends.

A great Hotel with fabulous location, staff very pleasant and helpful.

The hotel is amazing beautiful old fashioned beautiful gardens and flowers grounds around the hotel the only problem we found was when we finished playing golf there wasn’t any where we could have a drink or something to eat which was very disappointing other than that the stay was good

Although short of staff it wasn't noticeable and the the staff were always happy to comply with requests.
Hotel room fine. Food was excellent, buffet morning and evening. Only slight problem was the number of stairs (up and down) that needed negotiating.

Our stay at Breadsall Priory Hotel should have been a wonderful 31st anniversary treat, however the picturesque setting couldn't make up for the lack of basic service requirements expected from a 4 star hotel. On arrival we upgraded to a 'priory room' at a cost and were pleased with the room and the views. We always arrive a couple of hours prior to our tee time so we can have a leisurely lunch after the long drive. We went to the hotel restaurant only to find it deserted apart from two members of staff deep in discussion. Another member of staff informed us that no fresh food for lunch would be available and the restaurant was closed! Had we been made aware, we could have stopped at a pub en route but why would you when your going to a 4 star hotel! We were then informed that only 'pre packed' sandwich's would be available from the 'Tempo' bar at the other end of the hotel by the golf shop, we found 2 cheese and pickle sandwich's and a chicken wrap, appalling really, especially after a 3 hour drive. After our round of golf we went to the same bar for drinks only to be informed there was a limited choice of beers available and only crisps to eat. We put this behind us and looked forward to a decent dinner that evening. Arriving at the restaurant we were told there was no record of our booking and there would be a charge of £28.50 each for the buffet! Buffet!! We expected a freshly cooked dinner from a menu but had a barely edible buffet instead, it wasn't even replenished when low on foods! Breakfast the following morning was acceptable but to be honest, it's pretty hard to get that wrong and if you do you may as well give up! I work in the golf industry, working for two golf professionals who want to hear of our stay.

Unfortunately the “dinner” is not an evening meal but a buffet and no way can be the value allowed of£28 per head as they explained. The staff are great but the decision to change to buffet was thrust upon them by management and they believe it to be for the long term not short term. This part of our trip was very disappointing to say the least as we expected a nice dinner experience paid for my birthday, not serve myself!
We were also sent to another bar in the hotel to finish our drinks, to be told on arrival that they were closed!
We had to ask for cutlery on a couple of occasions
The breakfast was also buffet style - a little better but overall the stay was somewhat disappointing
10 / 10
Very pleased with the hotel would definitely stay again

Only disappointment was the evening menu choice and the length of time it took for the food to arrive. When it did, which was a good hour after ordering, one main course was missing and it was a further 20mins or so until it arrived!

there were 10 of us in 5 twin rooms booked for a stag do and we all agreed it was a superb hotel in a superb location.We all enjoyed the stay and couldn't fault anything.

The hotel itself is in an idylic location and a typical country style type mansion albeit, due to it's quirky ness and many different floor levels is not ideally suited for anyone with a physical disability ( as was the case with our party ). Although the accommodation and food was very good the service was abyssmal. There was no structure and the staff did not appear to know what they were doing. Our evening meal took almost 2 hours !! We will not be revisiting.

Food and accommodation was excellent. The customer service from staff in the bar and restaurant however was a bit hit and miss varying from excellent to down right rude. We didn’t let it spoil our stay because overall a really good set up. Just a pity the bar near the course wasn’t open— lack of staff apparently.

Fabulous staff who couldn't do more to help - awesome so well done to you all

Rooms not allocated, issues with food order but partly are fault due to order sheet not good. Turned the lights out on us in the bar Fri night, bar closed early both nights understood the hotels have 24 hr licence, could get drinks on 1 st day till 11.30.
Food was excellent & bar service good when bar open.
Dissapointed with yourgolfvtravel with shortage of buggies but YGT blamed Bredshall and Breadshall blamed YGT, also did not receive Taylor made golf club until 10 July when full payment paid in May, therefore unable to present prize to winner on final day.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marriott Breadsall Priory. We had 1 night's accommodation in 2 twin double rooms overlooking the 18th green of the Priory Course and could not fault the rooms in terms of cleanliness, quietness and facilities (excellent TV in particular).
All meals at the Cast Iron Bar & Grill were of high quality too, including a well-presented breakfast buffet in the morning. Staff attentiveness in the bar/restaurant was inconsistent, with some long waits between drinks orders which was a bit frustrating.
Overall, highly recommended for a golf break.
10 / 10
The accommodation was great a lovely period hotel, I have given some 3 star reviews this is only down to Covid restrictions otherwise they would have been higher. Staff where great we all felt safe and enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I recently returned from a golf break which had been initially set for May but had been rearranged for this last weekend by Ben at YGT.
We played both golf courses and found them in very good condition, challenging and quirky in places but always entertaining. The hotel seemed busy but well organised, very friendly staff and CoVid safe especially under these very trying times. The rooms were clean, bright and well equipped. We had a prebooked DBB with a special golfers menu which we found to be very nice, plenty of choice, well cooked and ample portions. A special mention to Danielle who served and waited on us at breakfast. All staff we spoke too were very helpful, obliging , polite and well meaning. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break and will return again. If you like your golf and want to stay in a beautiful location you will not be disappointed, we weren’t. Thank you to all the staff for making our visit so enjoyable and safe in these strange times.
Date of stay: October 2020

Rooms good. Stayed for 2 nights but not valeted whilst there. Could have had toiletries replaced for the second day.
Food good and menu selection excellent. Staff very helpful and made the stay pleasant

Due to COVID-19 this was not a normal experience. Staff coped well. Management had clear and reasonable procedures. Bedrooms are a long way from bars and restaurants with many changes of level and direction - up a few steps, turn left, turn right, down a few steps - repeat.

Hotel was very well set up in these difficult circumstances but staff seemed to lack direction at dinner as service was very very slow

Hotel was set in beautiful grounds and the staff were really helpful and friendly, if a little understaffed! Rooms were large with 2 double beds and the food was good,
Excellent value for money.

The Priory course is a great course however the Moorland was pretty basic. The hotel has made many efforts to make you safe and the staff were mostly excellent
8 / 10
Difficult to rate things with Covid restrictions. Limited menu, breakfast poor with no paper menu so we did not know what was available. Feel they have used situation to charge 5 star prices with 4 star service. Having said that we always enjoy Breadsall and hope after Covid they return to their 5 stars.

Whilst individually staff are extremely helpful and friendly, overall the hotel fell well below expectations. This is the first time I have stayed in a 4* hotel which didn't provide bedside lamps, the mattress cover was stained and the beds rock hard. Housekeeping was poor: the floors were not cleaned daily, toilet rolls and beverages were not replaced. Breakfast was very good as was the other food but on one occasion we waited over 45 minutes between finishing starters and being served main course. Restaurant staff training in some respects is poor.

It has been several years since I last stayed and the rooms are rather tired and in need of refurbishment. We were disappointed as Gareth had requested an upgrade for one of our party who was celebrating a significant birthday (80) but this was not forthcoming. Dinner was served in the leisure centre grill which had no atmosphere compared with the Priory restaurant which we have used previously, however the food was good and service excellent. Not the hotel to stay at for a celebration.
10 / 10
This hotel is very good at providing a really good golf break, starting with check in (they bring all the forms and keys to you in the bar following your first round. Dinners were well organised with plenty of staff on hand and food arriving pipping hot.
Rooms were large with 2 doubles, plenty of wardrobe space, desk etc.
The large pool was great and at a nice temperature along with a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.
10 / 10
Every member of staff was friendly and helpful.
The room was perfect and located near to the golf and spa. We arrived early and the room was ready before we played golf.

Lovely hotel and good staff. The bar was OK. We had dinner included and it was Ok - the portions and style of food was a bit light for a gang of golfers. We only found three small prawns each in the prawn cocktail.

As discussed with Paul.
Our stay this time was way below the standard we have enjoyed in previous years.
1. Golf courses as brilliant as ever.
2. Rooms as good as ever.
3. Dining.
We have normally eaten in the restaurant and the food has always been great. However, this trip was a disaster.
We were told when we went down to the restaurant to dine that we would be eating in a room off the golf bar. We were not happy with this at all. All dressed up and nowhere to go really. I complained that it was a long way away and the ladies had stiletto heels on. So they ran us round to the room in a golf buggy. Not good.
The place we were shown to was little more than a McDonalds. Walls had brick wallpaper on, very tacky. The tables were little more than Formica tables. Another 2 tables were occupied with 2's.
No atmosphere at all.
The food was inedible to say the least.
It was awful. Mush. Went back to the room for a packet of crisps.
We have been going to this hotel for approx 10 years and always praised the hotel. However, we will not be returning there again. Sadly.

Accomodation the quality you would expect from a Marriott hotel. Very comfortable room
10 / 10
The rooms were very much on a 4 star level with two huge beds and a flat screen which included sky sports.
Our room was ready prior to our 2:20pm round of golf which was great.
We also had no issues with the promotional resort credit.

Hotel rooms very comfortable & immaculately clean. Welcoming staff.
BUT - food let them down badly. We sent food back on THREE separate occasions. A pear & walnut tart with pastry that was too had to cut let alone eat; it came back as a totally different tart but at least edible; LUKE WARM cooked breakfast - a complaint elicited "I'll tell chef"; a salmon & avocado sandwich that contained no avocado - corrected second time around.
Dinner for four in the Grill Room (no restaurant) took over TWO & a HALF HOURS.
Stayed here before with YGT - food excellent. NOT this time. Will we be returning??

Although we were in the newer part of the hotel, our room was well appointed and comfortable. It was only a short distance from the car park. The staff were all extremely friendly. The bar was very busy and bustling. I had the set dinner menu which was excellent.
