Derby Schoolhouse Museum Tours and Activities

We stayed for a few nights at Balmoral on York, in a Premier Queen Room. Room was okay - slightly outdated but clean, and comfortably sized. You can open the window which is handy for fresh air circulation, but there is no flyscreen. Location wise is really great. Very close to city centre - walking distance to the shops, restaurants and bars. Free parking space is a fantastic added bonus - there were plenty when we were there. Breakfast (we had continental breakfast included) was okay - simple but plentiful and good variety of choices. Staff is pretty good - although it seems there was only one person attending to breakfast and front desk (assumed maybe because it was winter). Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

An incredible setting within the Cradle Mountain area - nature in abundance! Staff were friendly, responsive, and efficient for a great check-in experience, allocating a fantastic room facing nature. The room was warm, welcoming, well appointed, spacious and very comfortable. A good night's sleep after exploring. Breakfast was sufficient with enough variety. Nice to be able to visit the adjacent gallery as guests. Parking was easy and convenient at front of the property. Some nice lounge areas with roaring fires also inviting. Overall, our very brief stay was great, we'd love to return for longer, and can recommend.
