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!

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.

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"!!!

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 👍😎

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The course was incredibly hilly. We had booked buggies but when we arrived we’re told that none were available so we would have to hire carts to pull our bags around. Really poor form. The golf club took no accountability at all and just blamed others for the issue. Not good enough

Another really well-maintained course, this generally seems to be considered the easier of the two courses at Breadsall Priory but offers its own challenges and is certainly no walkover. Again, a minor marking down due to the fact that the 16th green was closed off for repairs with only a temporary green available which was randomly placed in the middle of the fairway.

James – Reviewed 25 Jun 2021

Fantastically maintained and challenging course, but fair at the same time with plenty of width and generous fairways. The only reason for marking down on facilities was the buggies, both of which limped home after their batteries started running down with half of the back nine still remaining!

Great course and very pretty some great looking holes, a deceptive course fairways where great but can get wet. A good walking course is very hilly in parts you know you’ve played it if you’ve walked it over a couple of days. Some lovely feature holes and some that look easy but can bite you back if you relax. I’ve given a low score on facilities only due to them being shut due to Covid but would be great if fully open. We would certainly go back would love to play it in the summer, we had a good three days of golf and would recommend it to everyone to visit.

By contrast the Moorland was flatter, wider fairways and very large greens. Lots of marker posts, with the odd occasion where tees and greens were close to each other, you had to be aware of your fellow golfers to avoid being hit. However both courses were enjoyable.

One of the hilliest courses I've played in terms of the slope on the fairways and the greens. This is a course that demands good ball striking, getting out of position incurs a penalty. The greens are quite fast and all have pronounced gradients. It's not a long course but don't take it lightly. Has great views and varies between tree lined and fairly open.

A short, very open course with several shots that could come close to other holes. As there were a number of blind tee shots we were surprised that there was very little way of determining when a green was clear. The fairways are quite generous but the rough is thick if you go too far off line. Definitely not as hilly as the Priory course.

This course is amazing. I’ve played a lot of nice courses including Stoke Park and Forest of Arden and this course has a wow factor. Despite playing in 45mph winds, all 18 of each really enjoyed the course and all said how beautiful it was. It’s very up and down and as referenced the weather was awful so no buggies were allowed on the course. You certainly know you have been walking with me registering over 20,000 steps according to my phone but all in all a very enjoyable course with cleverly allocated fairways and greens

The Moorlands is a very enjoyable course and on the day had very challenging pin positions. Poor shots are not always punished as a lot of holes run parallel with each other. Despite the course being full our 4 ball got round in just over 4 hours and the weather was dire. It’s great that the venues two courses differ so much The reason it hasn’t got five stars for facilities is that there are ltd 150 markers but this isn’t an issue if you have a GPS watch

Again, a really well presented course. It's VERY hilly with some quite steep cross-slopes & difficult approaches. We walked it - and were pretty tired at the end of the round. It's LONG (and played long too). Surprised to find we were still playing off winter tees / mats (not on the Moorland course). Superb surroundings. Not a course for the faint-hearted or novice golfer - it bites!!!! Not sure we'd play it again if we returned. Consider a buggy if you're not reasonably fit!!
