Stayed at the Birchover in Darley for a wedding in March. When we arrived we phoned a number to get someone to meet us and show us to our room, there was no reception area for guests to be greeted. On entering, the building was quite depressing however when we got to our room this was ok. We very quickly... More

I stayed here with my husband and found it excellent in every way. Great value for money. You need to be aware, however, that you need to arrive after 3pm and leave by 10am unless you are prepared to pay for an extension, which must be arranged in advance (£20 to leave at midday, for example). We stayed twice (2... More

We enjoyed a long weekend stay (Fri-Mon) at Darley Abbey and have nothing but praise for the place. We were met with a friendly welcome and a quick tour around the apartment, which was spacious and very clean throughout. The style of decor is more traditional than modern, but this is in keeping with the apartments in general. The welcome... More

Just got back from our one night stop-over at Darley Abbey Birchover Hotel Apartments, and wanted to say how much my family and I enjoyed ourselves. The spec of the apartment is superb, and the addition of the Sauna makes the stay even more special. Its great that there are still some places where you can get true value for... More

Thank you very much, Loretta, for your review. We remember you from both of your stays with us and it's always really nice to see guests return. We do try really hard to offer good value for money and feel that offering the spacious bedrooms, living space and sauna for the price of a good hotel room does deliver on... More

This is mine and my partners second time here. We love it. The first time we stopped in a two bedroom apartment which was a offer, the second time we stopped in a one bedroom. We go to the Broadway pub which has nice food and a relaxing atmosphere. We also go into the derby centre to explore the shops... More

Thank you very much for the review and lovely title! It's always great to get such good feedback and to hear that you've enjoyed staying in both a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartment. I can concur that the Broadway pub is relaxing and does what I'd describe as high-end 'pub food' - freshly cooked and with an imaginative menu...especially... More

This was a good idea although the first apartment was in a bad way they were happy to change it and we were pleased with the space, lots of it the two bedrooms were really brilliant and although very close to A38 quiet, but if they do not get the Air con working it could be quiet and hot! More

Last night we stayed at the Darley Abbey apartments as part of the celebration of my wife's birthday. The accommodation lived up to it's promise and the warm welcome that awaited us was a credit to Lisa, the General Manager and her attention to detail - customer service is not always paramount these days. The apartment was spacious and immaculately... More
