Makeney Hall Hotel

Todays blip is the view from our courtyard room door at the Makeney Hall Hotel, just after checking in. Nice place and superb surroundings, right in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales. Here for a mini break for a few days, away from the dullness of Lincolnshire and its humdrum ways :p

Makeney Hall Hotel is a magnificent Victorian country mansion, situated in the heart of Derbyshire, just 8 miles from Derby and 2 miles from the flourishing market town of Belper.
Makeney Hall is set in 6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and provides breathtaking views across the Amber Valley. These tranquil surroundings alongside the extensive meeting, conference and training facilities make it a popular choice for business events, wedding receptions and other special occasions.
As well as stunning scenery and marvellous walking trails, Derbyshire and the nearby Peak District are home to some of the country's finest stately and historic homes including Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Kedleston Hall. For a family day out, enjoy a visit to Alton Towers or take in the delights of local town, Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne.
