Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa

We booked a one-night stay to celebrate my birthday. Before booking, we received an email asking if we’d like to upgrade. We decided to treat ourselves and upgraded to a feature suite. On arrival, the receptionist was very friendly and helpful during check-in. We honestly couldn’t fault any of the staff—they were excellent throughout our stay. However, when we got to our room, the hallway leading to it was dark and uninviting. Once inside, we immediately noticed how dated the room was, and it didn’t impress us at all. The bathroom floor was in poor condition, with messy grouting and an overall lack of care. For a four-star hotel and a paid upgrade, we expected much better. That said, the food was a real highlight. We had a table booked for 7 p.m. and were thoroughly impressed—the food tasted amazing. It would’ve been nice to have a few more options on the menu, but the quality was excellent. Breakfast was also very good, with plenty to choose from. We also booked into the spa for four hours and really enjoyed it. The facilities were lovely and relaxing. The only downside was the lack of private changing stalls—not everyone feels comfortable changing in a communal area. Overall, we’d definitely return for the food and the spa, but the rooms need serious attention. This place has so much potential, but it’s sadly let down by poor maintenance and outdated interiors.

Lovely hotel in Chesterfield. Very comfortable room, even though furnishings etc were quite dated. Hotel itself full of character and staff very friendly and efficient. Lovely to have breakfast included! Would love to stay again and next time try the spa!

Not as posh as it could and showing some signs of distress, but it served its purpose for a room for the night. The Coachhouse restaurant is nice though with really nicely presented food served. Not a huge selection on the menu to choose from but what there is tastes as good as it looks. Waiting staff are knowledgeable and friendly and make you feel right at home. Breakfast is okay I suppose nothing as special as the evening meals and I’d like to have a coffee pot on the table rather just a cup full.

Excellent location, beautiful hotel and grounds. Highly recommend it. We stayed while visiting Chatsworth House. It was a great place to stay while in the area!

Our stay was nice, the hotel staff were absolutely lovely and couldn’t help enough. The hotel is very impressive from the outside and set in a lovely location with good free parking. The only thing that let the hotel down was it is in need of either repair or renovation. The menus were very limited for both breakfast and dinner, but the food was good. Good coffee with breakfast! Overall for the cost of the room with breakfast this was brilliant value for money in a pleasant place. There is also a nice park with a lake next to the hotel and plenty of other nice places to visit in the surrounding area.

We were upgraded to a suite from an executive double room on arrival and I honestly can't see what the difference was, except maybe that we had a corner bath in our sleeping area but it had no screen around it. I found the hotel disappointing in many ways. On arrival, no lift. One of us suffers with a hip problem so this was an immediate difficulty. There was a fan in the room to keep us cool, and it was very hot in the room, but the windows couldn't be opened as they were painted shut! I'm sure this is actually illegal. We wanted to order room service on the second night and using the laminated menu in the room, planned to do so. There were no instructions on the card however, and no phone in the room. So we called the front desk from our mobiles, FOUR times. Nobody answered. In the end one of us went downstairs to order the food, a nice man around the desk asked if we needed help and we explained we wanted food. He said you should have called, we said we did and nobody answered. A girl appeared from the back, eating, and said, I was on my break. So nobody mans the desk on a break early in the evening! Was then sent down to the restaurant ourselves to order, to be told that we can't order off that menu until the restaurant is closed! Again, no info on the menu in the room to say this. So we needed to order off the restaurant menu. Soap was taken from the room that was opened the day before and not replaced, so no soap to wash hands. These were the memories of my trip.

Stayed here for one night and was really happy. Room was clean and comfortable. Really comfy bed; really nice breakfast. Staff on reception and at breakfast really friendly and helpful.

My daughter bought me afternoon tea for mothers day so we went together .it was a very nice dining room .the tea came which was all very nice but I have to say I have never had such a dreadful hard scone .didn't like complaining as it was a gift .

We had a great 3 day's even though i was not well

From the moment we arrived at Ringwood Hall Hotel to set up for a wedding, we were warmly welcomed and supported every step of the way. The staff were absolutely excellent — helpful, professional, and a true credit to the venue. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the management team in particular went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their leadership clearly shines through in how well the whole team works together — efficient, attentive, and dedicated. It was an absolute pleasure working with you all. Thank you, Ringwood Hall, for making our experience stress-free and enjoyable. With a team like yours, it’s no surprise everything was flawless. We can’t wait to work with you again! — Blooms Boutique Weddings & Events
