I have never stayed in such a poorly designed and laid out room. The room was so small that it was not possible to sit at the desk because the bed was in the way, the bedside table blocked the bathroom door and worst of all the toilet was so close to the bath that it was not possible to use it if you were over 5 feet tall. Worst of all is that the reception staff did not care enough to enquire how may stay was and subsequent feedback to the hotel management was responded to with a standard email about "high quality" and an acknowledgement that they know what I mean about the room!

Great stay at this hotel. Staff are excellent, room was very comfortable and dinner / breakfast was most enjoyable. Good selection of beverages at the bar. This hotel is well placed but distant enough from Burton town to have a country feel in its surroundings.

The booking in experience was poor. We had to tell the receptionist at least three times what our surname was as she couldn’t seem to remember She didn’t seem very happy that we were booking in. I am a member of Accor and this was not a very good experience. Usually a free drink is offered and wifi explained, we got none of that. I wouldn’t stay there again unless the staff picked up their game and were more welcoming

Stayed for a 2 night break bed and breakfast with an evening meal. Cracking deal! Lovely place to stay, plenty of drink choice, lovely breakfast - again plenty of choice. Staff friendly and helpful - always willing to assist. Evening meal spot on. Overall couldn't have asked for more. Lovely local pub 5 minutes walk away too. Only down side was the shutting/slamming of bedroom doors by other guests late at night/early morning - have informed them of this in a review and received a response to say they'll look at a way of improving this - very thoughtful I thought of them to respond.

Signs to rooms do not include Room 121 after you leave the lobby - very confusing! Room 121 is apparently used as the Bridal dressing room which is fine but there is only one old chair in the entire main room. Décor is at best shabby. The small annex room has a sofa and a huge mirror so totally useless for normal guests. No robes or slippers available even though it is a so called privilege room - reception found 1 pair of slippers only after enquiring. Gardens desperately need some serious weeding and flower bed work doing. Lovely helpful Staff made up for a lot of the shortfalls.

The outstanding feature of this Hotel is the food, Bar menu has a good mix of items, they arrive quickly and hot. Breakfast, some Hotels in the group could take a leaf out of the standard of Breakfast here, well cooked good choice and hot. The Bar and staff in general are helpful and friendly

Welcome at reception was very friendly and welcomingBar service was initially good but later average Breakfast service was less than good I arrived late and was happy to receive a sandwich I preordered

Stayed overnight to break up a trip. This fitted the bill perfectly. We had booked full board, and it was excellent value for what we paid. The room was up a flight of stairs but a good size with a decent bed. Dinner was very relaxed nothing was rushed and was well cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was quiet and unusual for these days cooked to order again the staff were friendly and attentive. Overall the hotel looks a bit tired and wouldn't suit if you were looking for a lively stay but it suited us down to the ground.

This hotel exceeded my expectations. From the great reception staff to the beautiful room we stayed in, l cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. Thank you to the reception staff for giving us such a marvelous room.The bed was very comfortable. The history and grandure of this hotel outstanding. The location was incredible. Once again thank you for an incredible stay, l would HIGHLY reccommend this hotel.

I have stayed here once a year for numerous years including well before it acquired the Mercure brand, primarily because it's precise location in Newton Solney suits my requirements. A pleasant hotel in a village location and for variety there are quality restaurants in nearby Repton and Willington. The building and some of the decor are somewhat tired (which in fact adds to the hotel's character), but the rooms are clean and well maintained and mostly of a good size, and many of the staff are friendly and welcoming. Popular for wedding receptions and other events which can just occasionally intrude on other guests, although not on this visit. Years ago breakfast offered waitress service and the menu included kippers. Now the kippers are gone and most days it's an 'acceptable' fairly standard fully self-service hotel buffet, although when it's quiet, as on my final morning, it suits them to cook to order in which event the food is piping hot and cooked to perfection.

We stayed here for our sons wedding and I must say we were impressed with the hotel. The setting is lovely, perfect for wedding photos, the welcome was lovely and our room comfortable . All in all, a very good experience.

On arrival we thought that the hotel building looked tired and in much need of renovation - dirty stone work and rotting wooden window frames. The grounds were also in much need of a gardener. Drinks were priced above average, especially if you want a bottle of wine. The best part of the stay was the food, both at the party and in the dining room.

Excellent hotel and Friendly people. Excellent service and its value for money. I have slept well. Cleanliness was spot on. I like the location which quite and calm. Room was neat and clean.So I will book again for my next trip.

The rooms are quite old and definitely in need of a refurb. Car park is fine. The breakfast is standard quality. I felt the hotel was quite traditional and could be better by being modernised. I booked it as a Accor member but I would look for something more modern next time.

The Newton Park Hotel is the most beautiful period property and grounds. It is furnished very sympathetically to the building's age. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. We only experienced the breakfast but, in our opinion, it was more than adequate for all tastes. We would certainly use this hotel again when in the area, and would recommend - providing you are not looking for a 'modern block' property.
