I'm really pleased to announce a new venue for 2027 - Morley Hayes in Derbyshire.
From the hotel website
A Luxury Haven in the Heart of Derbyshire
Special comes as standard at the Morley Hayes AA 4* Hotel. From golfers to business associates, private functions and celebrations or couples looking to escape from it all. Our luxury rooms and lavish suites offer the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The Hotel has 32 bedrooms, each boasts its own private terrace or balcony where you can look out onto the famous parkland and golf course and take in the spectacular views of the Derbyshire countryside and beyond. This is matched by our beautiful interiors, complete with all the facilities you would expect from a 4* Hotel.
Conveniently located just a short drive from the M1 and A38, sitting equidistant from Derby and Nottingham, within 20 minutes’ drive of the Peak District. There is a large private car park on site.
Ellie says;
I grew up around this area, which is how I knew about this place - I watched it evolve from a small farmhouse into the lovely venue it is today.
I've often visited here for meals, it's a very friendly welcoming place.
I've chosen the Granary Loft for our Retreat. There is disabled access via a ramp, and there are also staff to help us should anyone need help moving sewing machines!
This stay is Monday to Friday and is full board, inclusive of tea and coffee and snacks.
If you are coming by train (or plane!) there is a free shuttle service to the hotel - it does need to be booked in advance but I am happy to help with that.
The price will be £925 per person. I will provide a payment plan to spread the cost and full payment will be required by 1st August 2027. This covers full board, an en-suite room, tea and coffee and biscuits throughout the day as well as use of the sewing room and cutting and pressing equipment.
Sewing machines are available to hire if needed, but they are fairly basic models. Please ask if you'd like to reserve one.
If you require an accessible room, please contact me first, so that I can ensure the hotel will be able to provide for your needs.
