Reviews and Ratings
The Derby Manor Boutique Guesthouse has beautiful design elements and clean, spacious rooms that are well-equipped. However, our experience was marred by noise from a party next door that kept us from sleeping well. The location is decent for accessing local attractions, but the lack of effective noise control and communication impacted our overall enjoyment.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel with many highlights, especially the charming ambiance and friendly staff. The quirky decor really caught my eye, and the breakfast was delightful. However, there was some room for improvement in the upkeep of my room, which was quite worn in parts. Overall, a stunning place but could use some TLC in specific areas.
I had a wonderful experience at this boutique hotel, which is beautifully designed and exudes a unique charm. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The breakfast was delightful and made with quality ingredients, although I would have loved to see a few more options. The minor issues with room maintenance and ambiance were noticeable, but the overall vibe of the hotel and the attention to detail made up for it.
Derby Manor offers a luxurious atmosphere, exceptional cleanliness, and an inviting design that truly enhances the stay. While my experience with the service was mostly positive, I did encounter an issue with my room assignment that left me a bit disappointed. However, the breakfast spread was delightful and the overall amenities were well-maintained, adding great value to the experience.
