"I hired Derwent Hill Training Centre for a weekend break with my sewing group.  It was the perfect venue, in a lovely relaxed setting, comfortable with great facilities.  On top of that the staff made us so welcome, nothing was too much trouble.  And the food was incredible.  None of us wanted to leave, and we'll definitely be back!"

"I am writing on behalf of all the ladies who have just returned from a visit with you. I can honestly say from the moment we arrived and met Jill we were treat like royalty. The accommodation was more than expected. A couple of guests developed a leak from a toilet but the promptness of the staff resolved the problem and swiftly moved the guests to another room. The food was outstanding a big pat on the back to the chefs. The hospitality we received was first class and we cannot thank you enough. We hope to be back soon and we would strongly recommend you to any others who are looking for a time to be spoilt."
