Guest Reviews
- James (8/5): -
- Paul (8/5): Practical and Confortable - Nice location and room on ground level which was clean and tidy with excellent comfortable bed. Lacked a fridge and the bathroom sink hot water tap, water was only a trickle.
- ram028 (10/5): Excellent Birthday Meal - Excellent Birthday meal for my wife. Lovely food and the staff were friendly and attentive. Even had a Birthday card from the owner which was a nice touch. The Roosters Bar has just been renovated to a very good standard. All in all a very nice experience.
- sarahaU4861YY (10/5): Amazing Wedding! - We chose Morley Hayes for our wedding venue and it exceeded our expectations!
We arrived the day before, ate in Roosters Bar (excellent food), stayed in a Superior room with a balcony overlooking the golf course. The room was spacious, very well appointed with a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent too!
Our wedding day was perfect with special thanks to Carol for helping us to plan the day, Jane (our master of ceremonies) and Andrew who was on hand over the weekend and ensured it ran very smoothly. All of the staff in the hotel, restaurant and the events team are so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and we appreciate all they did.
We had the Penthouse Suite for our wedding night, again with a balcony overlooking the golf course. It was an amazing room, just a shame we didn't spend that much time in it!
We would highly recommend Morley Hayes for food, celebrations and events, such a beautiful setting with excellent, attentive staff. Thank you!!
- David (10/5): Fabulous, as usual. - Morley Hayes is my favourite hotel to stay at when visiting Derby / Derbyshire. There's nothing to dislike!
- KMS2019 (10/5): An enjoyable stay, a good hotel. - Welcoming staff, clean and comfortable, good location. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly. The view from our room wasn’t great.
- melaniebQ7973AL (10/5): Lovely hotel and golf course - Lovely couple of days golfing with 6 friends. Hotel room and restaurant were excellent and staff were very helpful. Celebrating a special birthday and a beautiful bouquet was waiting for me in the room on arrival… thankyou!
- Stephen (9/5): -
- twatofalad (10/5): Always a pleasure to visit - My wife and I have been dining at Morley Hayes for quite a number of years we have seen it grow and grow to what it is today.
We called in yesterday for food and once again was not disappointed the food was excellent as ever the staff and service is second to none it has been refurbished since our last visit the owners have high standards and it shows and appreciated. If I was to be negative about anything is that the menu hardly ever changes and is very predictable although the food is very good a little tweek of the menu on a more regular basis would be welcome
- emmceee (10/5): Incredible bed! - We stayed last night and had such a lovely experience from start to finish. Jane on reception was especially welcoming and friendly, and honestly all the staff were just fantastic — nothing felt like too much trouble.
Breakfast was great, with plenty of choice and everything really well done. But the absolute highlight for me was the bed — it was enormous and unbelievably comfortable. I had one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in ages. The SIX pillows were also incredible — soft but still supportive — I’m actually on a mission now to find out where I can buy some!
Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
- David (10/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): A fabulous hotel, great service and a great location - This is our second stay here and hopefully not our last, we absolutely love the little things, the professional and friendly staff to greet you and see you off with a smile, the sweets and apples on the receptions desk the writing paper and postcards and even the bible in the room and we're not religious. Please don't stop doing what you're doing with the good 'old fashioned' values and standards, a nice change from the faceless and soulless hotels :) There was nothing to dislike
- J3250VF (10/5): Cheese cake or bread and pudding - I couldn't decide which dessert to have. Mango and passion fruit cheese cake or Hot cross bun bread and butter pudding. They were delicious.Ordered one of each cut them in half to share with my friend
- Paul (10/5): A really great hotel for a mini-break such as the one we had; lovely room; and great options for eating on site. Thanks! - Very spacious, clean and pleasant. Nothing - all great!
- Heather (10/5): -
- Simon (10/5): -
- ALISON (10/5): Great hotel and not just for golfers - Great complex Everything was good
- Louise (7/5): - Beautiful surroundings & excellent golf course .
Staff were friendly Shame we couldn't get a table in restaurant. Prior warning that we needed to book would have been helpful. We were really looking for to this as part of our stay.
- Steven (10/5): - Beautiful setting
- Julie (10/5): Fantastic hotel with a great restaurant, comfortable rooms and the staff are all amazingly friendly - Everything was great Nothing
- Shaw (8/5): - Room
- Clarky7 (6/5): Great location & lovely meal - Our first visit here to this lovely hotel and golf complex.
We had a great night here at the Morley Hayes.
Great room looking right onto the course & a very tasty meal.
Sadly we couldn’t get into the main restaurant as planned due to a conference taking up the tables until 8pm which is too late for us to eat.
Quite disappointed that our shower had no shower gel or shampoo dispenser as it was completely missing with just a metal bracket on the wall!!!
Not ideal to share 2 small bottles of shampoo in such a lovely place.
The bath which my wife used was unable to be emptied due to a broken unit on taps so had to leave it full of water.
Such a shame the attention to detail let us down on our visit here.
Let’s hope we get a chance to return in the future with no issues.
Definitely will book restaurant in advance next time.
Good breakfast & staff very polite
- jerrypK2669XQ (10/5): Mother's Day meal - Family meal on Mother's Day in The Granary Room at Morley Hayes.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Staff vey attentive. Jane was our lovely host, great sense of humour and made us all relaxed. Complimentary Prosecco for the ladies and Hawkstone Lagers for the gents.
Meal was 5 star excellence, service superb..
The Rose bushes presented to the Mums, grandmother's and great-grandmothers were a lovely gesture.
Thank you so much for a great afternoon.
- shirleyclamp (10/5): Sunday lunch on Mother’s Day. - We took our family to the Prosecco Sunday lunch in the Granary Loft on Mother’s Day.
The menu choice was excellent, the meal was delicious, thoroughly enjoyed by all, and the service as always was outstanding.
The whole family enjoyed a wonderful memorable afternoon and are looking forward to the next opportunity for a family meal at Morley Hayes.
- Gemma (10/5): -
- Companion02654902274 (10/5): Excellent - Lovely Mother’s Day Prosecco Breakfast, great good and service. Highly recommended
- John (10/5): Great place for a short break. - Great room. Friendly staff. Ample bar and restaurant facilities. Nothing.
- billt (10/5): - Location parking helpful staff Nothing
- andrea (10/5): Lovely and relaxing - Brwakfast was wonderful Nothing
- suerS5807PD (10/5): Great place, lovely staff and excellent food. - Four of us stayed for 2 nights to visit the Derwent Valley Mills and area. The boys also played golf. We had very comfortable rooms. The food was delicious for both breakfast and dinner with different menus each night. All staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful at the reception and in the restaurants. In particular the restaurant staff, who were mostly quite young, were well trained and very efficient. Special thanks to Miles who was very attentive to us old fogeys and took great care in his work. Looking forward to visiting Morley Hayes again.
- J6249QJlees (10/5): A home away from home - We’ve just returned from a wonderful three-night stay at The Morley Hayes Hotel as a family of four, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the moment we arrived, every single member of staff was polite, welcoming and genuinely helpful. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. There’s a real warmth to the service here, and it made such a difference to us, especially travelling with children.
Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay. Our room was spotless every day, beautifully maintained and incredibly comfortable. The hotel itself feels cosy and well cared for — it had everything we needed as a family and felt like a real home away from home.
A special mention must go to the breakfast team. On one of the mornings, our youngest son was unwell and unable to come down for breakfast. The staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating, helping us arrange breakfast in the room without hesitation. Their understanding and flexibility meant a lot to us at a stressful moment, and it perfectly reflects the level of care shown throughout our stay.
The location was also ideal. Visiting the UK from Dubai, we wanted a comfortable base while catching up with friends and family, and Morley Hayes was perfect. Peaceful, welcoming, and brilliantly positioned — it made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.
A genuine five-star experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re home.
- X1772NKandrewj (10/5): Best Valentines day Ive ever had. - Excellent food, staff were everything you could wish for. Couldn't find fault if I tried. Comfortable super king sized bed in a beautiful well equipped room. Enjoyed stay, left relaxed and refreshed.
- Cliff (9/5): -
- lillybeeandco (10/5): Birthday celebration - Attended the recent Robbie Williams tribute night. We were a large group of friends and family celebrating a big birthday and we all had a very enjoyable evening. The Tribute act created a great party atmosphere and encouraged the audience to join in and get onto the dance floor. Food and service as usual for Morley Hayes was excellent and delicious. All in all an excellent night was had by all.
- Shauna (7/5): Beautiful restful relaxing apart from the heater - It’s always beautiful and staff are so polite An electric heater in the bedroom for the heating which wasn’t good enough, there’s large windows and I was frozen throu
- Matthew (9/5): -
- John (10/5): Very enjoyable - Everything was expected and more. As a regular customer we can never fault the location or service. Nothing
- tinaaE2735AZ (10/5): Wedding and New Year - We stayed at Morley Hayes Hotel for our wedding and New Year Eve.
We stayed in an amazing suite which was ideal for what we needed as it was our wedding and family were able to come and sit and chat in the living area.The bed was so comfortable and enormous. In the morning we were served an amazing breakfast having room service for a light lunch in our room later.The staff were really friendly and nothing was to much.
New years Eve fireworks from the hotel were the best we had seen.

- Elaine (10/5): We achieved our goal which was a lovely relaxing weekend and will visit this hotel again. - Our room was lovely and we had a balcony overlooking the golf course. Our breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh to order. We ate dinner at Roosters Bar and the Dovecote both were very good and we felt they were good value.recommend booking though as they get busy.

Great menu and good prices! Would definitely recommend.
- michaelcL5180QR (10/5): Candlelight Dinner & Disco - Attended the Candlelight Dinner and Disco in the Millroom on Saturday 20th December 2025. We were a party of 10 but unfortunately someone had to pull out due to illness.
We were located on a private round table just off the main room behind the bar area. For our group this was great as we could still interact with other guests but we were able talk to each other very easily.
The food and service were excellent throughout and the staff even boxed all the food up for our missing guest.
Couldn't fault the evening and would highly recommend the experience.
- timbW3043RN (10/5): Fabulous Party NYE - We attended for a New Years Eve buffet and disco with fireworks. The Christmas lights on approach were breathtaking which set the mood for the night.
On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who couldn't have been better for the whole night. The buffet was never-ending and of exceptional quality. It really was a brilliant night. The fireworks were also awesome! Well done to the whole team. We will be booking again for next year. Our party of four went away on a high.
- Matthew (10/5): Lovely stay at Morley Hayes once again. We love it here and always enjoy our stay. Andrew and the team always make it an - Lovely property and top quality amenities Nothing
- hayleye345 (10/5): Wedding of our dreams - We had our wedding reception at Morley Hayes, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning, beautifully maintained, and created the ideal setting for our special day.
Everything was set up flawlessly, and the atmosphere was elegant, warm, and welcoming.
A very special mention must go to Andrew and Jane, who were exceptional throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made everything run so smoothly and completely stress-free. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to ensure our day was exactly how we envisioned it. Our guests couldn't stop praising the food, service, and overall experience. We are so grateful to the whole team at Morley Hayes for helping us create memories we will treasure forever. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding reception.
- BarbaraR58 (10/5): Amazing Views Over the Golf Course - Beautiful Hotel. Wonderful big room with great views. Comfortable bed. Quiet and peaceful. Pillows were a bit on the hard side. Very tasty breakfast with a good choice. I had a server called Louise. Thank you for making my Christmas Eve morning nice and bright. Check out could have been a bit more friendly. I would stay here again. As I have family near by. They eat at the restaurants on a regular basis. I look forward to staying again soon.
- Q2577FRnicolab (10/5): Amazing 😻 - We had our Christmas wedding on the 27th December, it was absolutely beautiful, in every way, Jane our toast master made us feel in safe hands and was so kind, caring and made our day run like clockwork. The atmosphere was buzzing, the food was lovely and great value for money and the penthouse was stunning, with a lovely bottle of champagne when we arrived. Would love to do it over and over again and would choose Morley Hayes every time,
- Barbara (10/5): - Beautiful hotel in a great location. Really comfortble. Peaceful and quiet. Great breakfast and choices. The pillows were a bit hard.
- Dorothy1819 (8/5): Twas the night before Xmas - Just left after an amazing Christmas Eve afternoon pj party and afternoon tea absolutely amazing
Everything perfect great do lovely Santa excellent service from staff can't wait to come back again whole family loved it
- Realist_2010 (10/5): A lovely dinner with Santa! - Dinner with Santa!! This is our 3rd time visiting for a festive event. First we did breakfast with Santa but the last 2 times it's been dinner with Santa.
Both experiences were excellent and this year was no different. In fact it seems to get better.
The very special touches of santa knowing what your kids like and mentioning their teachers names etc. add to the magic beautifully.
It isn't cheap but I think it is excellent value for money. On arrival the tables are adorned with all sorts of treats for the kids which keep them occupied whilst waiting for their food.
The food was really very good, nothing too much trouble for the staff and plenty of everything for everyone. Hot and all arrived together. Not to mention the little extras like warm mince pies. They give it a special touch. We were full to the brim!
My only very small constructive criticism would be that table service for drinks would be an improvement. I found that, one of the party was away from the group for quite a long time, waiting at the bar, and given it's a family event, so unlikely a high volume of drink being consumed, I think it would be a lovely finishing touch if there were table service for the drinks if it could be accommodated.
- lisatW8707GM (10/5): Fantastic breakfast with Santa experience - I couldn’t recommend this higher! Thank you Morley hayes for a fantastic experience
At first glance, I’ll be honest, I thought this was expensive for what it was. £40 per adult and £23 per child for breakfast.
However.
They take info from you in advance about the kid and food choices. Breakfast is a 3 course affair, with plenty for the kids to enjoy. The tables are set up with loads of Christmas bits - headbands, glasses, crackers, and decorations.
Santa is there when you come in for photos on his sleigh, and then spends time with you at your table chatting away to the kids, as well as chatting away to them about things that he knows about their favourite things. My daughter couldn’t believe he “knew” about her teacher and her favourite toy
We were absolutely stuffed after the food, and there was opportunity to take the pastries away with us.
The kids then got to go into santas grotto, and all received a present.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never been as impressed as I was today. None of the kids there received the same gift and all of them were fantastic. My daughter got some squishmallows Bluetooth wireless headphones which she is delighted with! And my son got some science mechanics toy which he was very excited about. My neice got a lovely baby doll (she is 3)
I honestly couldn’t recommend this highly enough. The value of torrents were all around £20-25 each and the food is, as always, fantastic.
I’m really glad we decided to go, and, most likely, we will be back next year.
- Caz772013 (10/5): Magical Christmas Party At Morley Hayes! - What a fantastic afternoon we had at the Super Hero And Princess Party! The whole family came along with the grandchildren, from start to finish it was full of fun and festive cheer.
The afternoon tea was delicious, the disco and DJ had everyone dancing and the staff were absolutely amazing - friendly, helpful and full of Christmas spirit. Santa was spot on and made the experience extra special with a lovely visit and a fabulous gift for every child.
The adults enjoyed it just as much as the children (if not more!), and we left feeling happy, festive and full of Christmas magic.
Highly recommend - we can’t wait to come back next year!
- sarahlX5546EC (10/5): Afternoon tea with Santa - Once again a fabulous experience at Morley Hayes. A visit here at Christmas has become a family tradition. This year we came to the Princess and Superhero Party. Full of dancing, games and prizes as well as a very generous afternoon tea for all - party boxes for children and traditional high tea for the grown ups. Super quality and amazing service. Looking forward to next year 🎄🎄🎄
- Roving04988270839 (10/5): Excellent experience - Highly recommend their Christmas events we attended the princess and super heroes party and throughly enjoyed ourselves the value for money was second to none lovely lunch for the children afternoon tea for the adults which were refilled regularly and promptly. Food was lovely. Atmosphere was great and family friendly, our son is neurodiverse and they were extremely considerate and attentive. Location is lovely place and easy to get to, staff were great. Rooms and space was tastefully decorated and lovely. Well maintained and clean spaces.

Great rooms and the electric car charging facilities are excellent. Plus the Roosters restaurant offers a great dining experience. And did I mention the really good breakfasts?
- Steve McClellan (9/5): -
- peten358 (10/5): It’s not just for newlyweds! - I booked my elderly parents in here for a mini break as neither of them had been away from home for several years. The staff at the hotel were absolutely amazing. I was invited to visit the hotel beforehand to check room suitability and had a personal tour of every type of room to help me decide. I ended up booking my parents into the ‘Honeymoon’ suite. A magnificent separate bedroom off the homely lounge, overlooking the golf course, made it feel more like an apartment rather than just another hotel room. The hotel receptionist insisted that whatever my parents may need, they would be there for them, stating that it was as much a break for me, as it was for them - how very right she was. From helping them across the car park to the superb roosters restaurant and back for their pre-booked evening meal slot, to making sure there were plenty of biscuits in the room for my father to enjoy. I honestly don’t think the staff could have done anything more to make their mini break just perfect. Thank you so so much for looking after them. I’m sure they’ll be back in spring. A very impressive hotel with impressive views.
- V9270FSjanetg (10/5): A Great Stay!😀 - We stayed for three nights in The Sitwell Suite.
The hotel is really comfortable and the staff are very welcoming, it is obviously a happy place to work.
We ate in the Roosters restaurant, again the service was excellent, the menu very comprehensive and the food delicious!
- footrest (8/5): - Very clean pleasant Hotel. Very good rooms. The cooked breakfast was OK but very small. Only one slice of Bacon and one Sasurage. Fried bread was not very well cooked. Toast you were only given one slice of thin bread. Very poor value for the cost.
- Matthew (10/5): Amazing stay at Morley Hayes as always. Thanks again. We’re already looking forward to coming back. - Love Morley Hayes, very classy, beautiful relaxed country feel to the place. Absolute quality in everything they do. Food is phenomenal, setting is beautiful, facilities and room was great and always made to feel welcome there by Andrew, Jane and the team. Nothing, just wish we had a longer stay.
- magdalenamU4921MZ (10/5): Felt like home – with even better service! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a wonderful stay at Morley Hayes! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. I had a problem with my car, and the owner, out of the goodness of his heart, offered to drive me to the mechanic and even to the shop to get some groceries. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere calm and relaxing – just perfect after a long day. You can really feel that it’s a family-run place where everyone is treated like a guest in their home. The service, the surroundings, and the whole vibe were simply amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

- Celia (10/5): - I was happy with everything - the room, friendliness of the staff and the food, bth at breakfast and in the Rooster’s restaurant. I was happy with everything.
- catherine (10/5): Really nice room and pleasant helpful staff, nice surroundings - We had a complimentary room upgrade to a suite, this was the first time this has happened to us. My husband spent a couple of hours on his own in the room after we checked in, he was able to enjoy the sunshine on the patio.
Breakfast was good, lots of choice. It was quite expensive considering there isn’t a spa or a pool, if you aren’t there for the golf, the only entertainment is the restaurants and bars, which means you spend more!
- Kerrie (10/5): A must visit hotel - Gorgeous surroundings, lovely hotel and wonderful staff Nothing
- HMMs (10/5): Good golf break. - Normally when you get a party together for a short golf trip you expect to only get an 'average' experience at best. Not this time. Our group of ladies enjoyed 2 rounds of challenging golf on a course in good condition, very scenic and ( unlike many corporate golf offers) uncrowded.
The dinner was superb and breakfast great. The service in the restaurant was very good. Comfortable rooms in the hotel and pleasant staff too.
We'll be back!
- bethbW6599UC (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lovely Anniversary Stay at Morley Hayes! - My husband and I stayed at Morley Hayes to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we had such a lovely time. The lady on reception was so friendly and she upgraded our room when we checked in and booked us a table at the Roosters Bar for the evening.
The room was spotless, the bed was super comfy, and the views were beautiful. We paid a bit extra to have breakfast brought up to the room and it was definitely worth it! Really tasty.
The only small downside was that Roosters was really busy, and it took over 40 minutes before we managed to order dessert after our main. My husband had to get someone’s attention in the end as no one came over.
Other than that, everything was perfect. The hotel is gorgeous, the staff are lovely, and we’d definitely stay again. Five stars from us! 🌟
- Peter (10/5): The Perfect Experience - Immaculately clean, very welcoming staff, beautiful room with amazing view, dinner in the restaurant was the icing on the cake. Having to go home

- Adventurer513225 (10/5): 30th Wedding Anniversary - We had a lovely time at Morley Hayes celebrating our Black and White theme for our 30th wedding anniversary. The service was great and the staff were professional and polite, and they truly made the day extra special.
It’s really important to recognise when staff go above and beyond, and we want to thank the entire team at Morley Hayes. We are so grateful for the care and attention they showed.
We also stayed the night and enjoyed breakfast the next morning. The room was clean, and the breakfast was absolutely lovely. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
The buffet at the event was excellent, and everything was organised perfectly. Several of our family members travelled from Bristol and London, and they were impressed with the venue and the whole experience.
We would definitely revisit, and recommend Morley Hayes for weddings, christenings, parties, or any special occasion.
Thank you once again to everyone who helped plan and coordinate this unforgettable event.

- Thegeegee74 (10/5): Cracking stay-will be back here again! - A tremendous stay here at Morley Hayes Hotel.
Room 215 with a balcony that overlooks the golf course and one of the tees. Large and spacious room which was clean. Comfortable bed and a quiet nights sleep, although you may get the “pinging” off golfers teeing off early in the morning 😂 Not an unpleasant sound and you can always go to the balcony to give words of encouragement 😉
Staff were courteous, friendly and incredibly helpful with any questions or queries.
We will return here again at some point as we had a great weekend here.
I think a great addition to the amenities here, would be a Spa with Treatments and pool etc. It would make staying here even more enjoyable.
- B4265HSjuliet (10/5): My birthday party - Celebrated my 60th birthday in the Millroom. The venue was laid out as requested the manager was on hand at all times. Food was amazing and lots of it. Nothing was too much trouble all staff very friendly. The Hotel was very welcoming rooms very spacious and again nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended
- Alastair (9/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): - The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed the stay. Breakfast was excellent, as was the evening meals we had in the Roosters restaurant.
