Beautiful hotel
Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Love the concept & green initiatives in place. Found the service from reception to be lacking and service in the restaurant became painfully slow after mains, which was disappointing especially given the price point.

A beautiful and relaxing hotel
We had such a lovely, relaxing trip. We stayed in a room in the main house, which was beautiful, with fabulous views of the countryside. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and made to feel welcome. The fire was roaring in the reception area and the whole ambience was cosy and inviting. We enjoyed walks through the woodland and gardens. The food in the restaurant is fabulous, so I would definitely recommend booking that if you are stopping at the hotel.

Beautiful hotel
My wife and I spent an idyllic couple of nights in a 'lovely' double (Room 16 - GF) and couldn't have been more comfortable there. The staff were all lovely and helpful, and made us feel welcome in every setting within the hotel. The property is immaculately maintained, and delivered just what we needed for our mini-break. Having bike hire for free was an added bonus, with the local Tissington Trail giving me a perfect way to spend a morning whilst my wife got a massage treatment. The only small knock would be the pricing of breakfast. The full breakfast was actually reasonably priced compared to much worse offerings we've had from budget hotels, but we felt it a bit much to pay £9 for a very small bowl of overnight oats and £8 for granola. With the rooms already being pretty pricey, it would have been nice to get the contintental style options included and only pay a supplement for a cooked/hot breakfast. That small gripe wouldn't be enough to stop us returning for another stay, and we would recommend the hotel to anybody looking for a luxurious couples break.

Fantastic couple of nights in the Bluebell Hive. First time staying here and looking for an excuse to return. Staff really friendly and down to earth. Main house is great (lovely breakfasts) and hives are fantastic experience.

Expedia screwed up. You booked me in You confirmed my reservation. But when I arrived I found the property locked and closed for the year! Very luckily there was one person on site who heard me try and open the locked entrance door and called to a nearby hotel that had one room left!

Country splendour
Callow hall is a gorgeously grand hotel in a most beautifully peaceful setting. Surrounded by lush green countryside that overlooks a spectacular view of the fields and farmlands,it really takes your breath away. The gardens are lovely,perfect for wedding photos with the romantic bandstand ,tables and chairs and well tended flowers and shrubs. If your looking to get away from it all and enjoy a bit of luxury I would highly recommend Callow Hall.

Twin Peaks meet Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Impossible
My reservation for the dog at this pet friendly hotel was a problem for the receptionist. She bordered on rudeness through our check in saying that they only had one pet friendly room and it hadn't been prepared. Later in the evening she was taking our dinner order. We took some time deciding as I had to translate the menu for my wife. When we were finally ready, she said loudly "Well you will just have to wait for me now because I came by twice and you weren't ready.' Unfortunately, we ordered dinner to discover that the meal was really poorly done. Tinned pickled peppers on the sage gnocchi, tough meat made a meal that wasn't worth eating. Another couple sent back their meals .
