8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bed comfy. BBC tv coverage bad. Bathroom needs upgrading. Room 115. Breakfast good but chaotic - there was not enough info on ordering various items and what order to move around the various item tables. Finding staff to take order not easy. Staff were v pleasant. Reception staff excellent Didn’t use any spa facilities so can’t comment. Overall impression that the whole building needs attention. Very good position for Chesterfield."

Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to relax after a long day. The location was also very convenient, especially for anyone travelling by electric car, as there is a rapid EV charger nearby. This made charging the car easy and hassle-free during stay. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Overall, a comfortable room, convenient location, and excellent service made this a very enjoyable stay. I would happily stay here again."
