Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa

Guests who stayed here loved

“The hotel is set in large, attractive grounds and has an impressive, historic facade. It is not far from Chesterfield and other sites in the Peak District and is on a bus route. Most of the staff were pleasant and tried to be helpful but were often incompetent, e.g. we were locked out of our room after 24 hours although we were booked in for 3 nights. Parking was outside our room. Our room, 408, was large, on the ground floor and opened directly from the courtyard which is a considerable distance from the main building. I was told this was a quiet room and it was, in terms of hotel noise, but the main road is just behind it. I felt security was a potential issue as there is direct easy access from this road into the courtyard and the rooms. The room was very damp smelling, probably due to the shower which sprayed water everywhere, and the loose floor tile which trapped water beneath. The room was very hot and the windows only opened a few inches. Several of the window catches did not work properly. There was no WiFi at all in the room. Service in the restaurant was disorganised and chaotic when busy due to large functions taking place. There was inadequate staffing for the number of hotel guests. Although we raised the maintenance issues with reception, nothing was fixed.”
