The Kedleston Country House Kedleston Road, Quarndon, Derby DE22 5JD

"Came for a mass catered event here. Couldn't park in the main car park, which is smallish, the overspill car park is a bit scruffy . However, the hotel itself stands out on the road and has real grandeur. The decor inside the hotel is beautiful, it had a makeover 3 years ago or so and still looks lovely. The staff were very pleasant. The food was more or less acceptable, some weird taste combinations, like a sweet pastry case for a mushroom and olive quiche. The sandwiches were very basic and no frills. There was a bulk of rather greasy tray baked potato. The food quality was a let down for the place as a whole, so would hesitate to recommend."

"I booked Kedleston Country House for my Wedding after I feel in love with the venue and location! Everything was magical from start to finish! The Wedding co-ordinator Sarita took care of everything and made us feel super at ease and reassured we’d be getting the day we wanted! She was also super easy to get hold of and answered our queries promptly! The team on the Wedding day were so fantastic, the level of customer service and friendliness was sensational! Helen and Lee were amazing on the day (and the night before). Diane in housekeeping completely transformed the Bridal Suite after the chaos of using it to get ready in the morning and I was blown away with how lovely it looked come the Wedding Night. Sally was super friendly and chatty the day after the Wedding at breakfast! The food was phenomenal both on the Wedding Day and the breakfast the following morning! The rooms are lovely, we’ll equipped with plenty of amenities and there is no noise pollution. I cannot rate the venue high enough and everyone in the team was so invested in ensuring myself, the Groom and the guests were having the best time!"

"Such a shame Beautiful location and building but the food is average. It’s presented well but tasteless. Cauliflower and blue cheese soup which seemed to have zero blue cheese in it. Half of the wine list isn’t available. Gave us the wrong white wine. Young kids taking the orders, getting the orders wrong and not knowing how to wait on. I soup spoons. Had to ask. Had to ask for them to clear the plates away. A manager who looks, talks the part but does more prancing around than actual managing. Uncomfortable seats for good measure. Such a shame"
