This year, the four-star, 32-bedroom hotel has climbed three places to an impressive 13th position in TripAdvisor’s annual Travellers’ Choice Awards, which recognise the best hotels across Britain and the Channel Islands.

Morley Hayes is also the only hotel in the Midlands to feature in the Best of the Best Hotels list – a distinction it has now achieved for the second consecutive year.

The TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards represent the highest level of excellence in global travel, honouring the top-rated 1% of hotels from more than eight million listings on the platform. Winners are selected based on a consistently high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and ratings from real travellers over a 12-month period.

Morley Hayes joins a distinguished group of hotels across the UK, with nine establishments based in London and five in Jersey. St. Ermin’s Hotel in London claimed the top spot, with Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, in Oxfordshire ranking second.

Other notable entries in the Top 25 include The Resident Covent Garden, London; Greenhills Country House Hotel, Jersey; Bishop’s Gate Hotel, Derry; The Resident Liverpool; Auchrannie Resort, Isle of Arran and the Stock Exchange Hotel, Manchester.

More than 97.7% of TripAdvisor reviewers rated their stay at Morley Hayes as ‘Excellent’ or ‘Very Good.’

Guests consistently praise the hotel for its ‘professional and obliging staff,’ ‘luxurious and spacious rooms’ featuring ‘comfortable beds’ and ‘indulgent touches’ such as ‘Molton Brown toiletries.’

Situated in the beautiful the picturesque Derbyshire countryside, Morley Hayes has become a popular choice for weddings, with visitors calling it an ‘outstanding wedding venue’, with an ‘excellent ambiance,’ and one reviewer describing it as an ‘oasis not to be missed.’
