I booked this hotel using my reward night that I had available and due to being a silver member I had a free room upgrade at no additional cost. Roy whom was the gentleman at the front desk was friendly, polite and smiley. I was told all of the pertinent information to my stay and found my room very easily. He was informative and later in evening helped me further. My room is amazing, very clean and tidy, mini fridge with a couple of drinks and snacks and nice size tv along with working air con that allows me to choose my settings without restrictions. I came down to have dinner and had crab cakes as a starter, followed by today’s special, sea bass. Presentation was beautiful and the taste of the food was absolutely amazing. The sea bass was fresh, not frozen which meant I got the true flavour and texture of it. The bar staff have been very attentive throughout the evening ensuring that nothing was too much trouble for them whilst having a great conversations; very personable indeed especially Ibrahim, Callum and Imogen who ensured that everything was just right. All the staff I have had contact with are the exemplary examples of staff you should nurture and ensure you keep for your business. I have stayed at a few holiday inns over the last few years and this is one of three that has been nothing short of what customer service is; above and beyond!

Hotel's Favorite
Always First Class. I have stayed here on a regular basis with work, now for 18 months. As someone who travels up and down the country, stopping at various establishments, this is my favourite. The staff, always happy to help, if there's ever an issue, it's dealt with quickly and efficiently. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and immaculately clean. Evening food is of good quality, with daily specials. It may not look the most clamourus of hotels from the outside. However, this was made up for by the wonderful staff all round. Having stayed in much more supposedly up market hotels and also well-known purple budget hotels. This hotel doesn't compromise on quality, all done at a very reasonable price.

Decent hotel. Efficient service and helpful staff there to assist with anything. Breakfast is varied and great options. Gym facility is nice, shame the pool has been shut down otherwise this hotel could have earned an extra star. Location is a few mins drive from the outlet. Conveniently located off the junction. Comfortable beds and decent sized rooms. Shower water pressure could be improved. Plenty of break out spaces to work from past reception area and restaurant area is relaxed with plenty of choices.

Booked this hotel for a family outing on Xmas Day and Boxing Day in Dec 2023. Very friendly staff, comfortable beds with beautiful, fluffy pillows. I would have rated them 5/5 if the swimming pool was open. Decent location.

Hotel itself was clean as usual but disappointed there was no swimming pool open. The pool is the main reason staying here. We will choose a cheaper hotel with the same standard as the holiday inn. Until the next year which I have been told the pool will be in service.

Dear lorrainew910, Many Thanks for taking the time to write a review of your stay with us here at the Holiday Inn South Normanton. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed that our pool had closed in September. All websites were updated to advise of the closure as we didn't want guests to arrive and be disappointed. I am however pleased that you found the hotel to otherwise meet your needs and of course, was clean. Please be advised that there are no plans to reopen the pool. I am sorry if you have been advised this incorrectly. Kindest Regards

I second the review by DuskyLancashire, we don't know them but had the same package - brilliant value. My friend (who comes from these parts) spluttered when I said where we were staying, to be fair it's not the most scenic spot in the world. However, all was FAR nicer than expected, and we would happily return. Dinner and breakfasts very much enjoyed. Good service at all times from delightful, happy-looking staff. Room comfy, decor could do with a bit of sprucing up throughout. Great spot near a discount shopping centre (also Matlock, Chatsworth, Buxton, Bakewell if that's more your bag!) We did all this and Chatsworth Xmas Market which was FABULOUS!

Just back from a really great 2 night stay at this Holiday Inn, bought a Travel Zoo Voucher which turned out to be amazing value, 2 nights B & B, Dinner on the first evening & a G & T, £139, to be honest, we weren’t expecting much from the food or accommodation but very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is ideally located just off the M1, McArthur Glen shopping outlet a couple of minutes drive away & Chatsworth House about 40 minute drive. The hotel felt warm & cosy on arrival, modern, fresh & clean interior, my friend has a Holiday Inn loyalty card so we were given an upgrade to a SuperKing Room, really big room, bathrobes, slippers, lovely toiletries, tea & coffee making facilities with fridge & safe & complimentary soft drinks & snacks, very comfy bed & large modern bathroom. The restaurant & bar is open to the lobby, staff very friendly throughout the hotel, 2 course dinner was a choice from a set menu of about 4 starters,mains & desserts, really good selection & the food was excellent, there were a number of Christmas parties taking place in the function rooms which didn’t have any impact on the quality of service or food in the restaurant. Breakfast was really lovely, someone had obviously given it a lot of thought, a really good selection & well presented, fresh fruit, smoothies, yoghurt & granola, cereals, continental selection cheese, meat, boiled eggs & pastries, good choice of bread/bagels & condiments, hot selection was really good quality, fried & scrambled eggs, bacon,sausage, black pudding, hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms & beans, all freshly cooked & hot & probably the best fresh coffee I’ve had in an establishment of this type, all in all we really feel we’ve had a fantastic value break, can’t recommend enough & would return without doubt
