The room was lovely (room 5) with a very comfy bed, decent enough facilities, but no complimentary biscuits, which is unusual, but understandable in these times. The staff are very friendly and helpful, rushed off their feet as most places, but knew what they were doing. Food was lovely and varied, breakast and dinner

Nice looking pub. The staff were all good, but it seemed like it was almost always a differ member of staff, whether being served our food or at the bar, or at breakfast. It would have felt a little less impersonal if the same members of staff had been serving us. The food, well my pie was O.K but my wife's fish was well overcooked, expensive for what it was. The breakfast was sparce and not cooked so well, also the tables were sticky, Oh! and we had to pay for our coffee's on top of an overpriced breakfast. I did like the pub area though. We stayed in a room with a roof as a view, bed was comfy enough, the bathroom did not feel at all inviting, bit shoddy. The staff seemed like a nice enough bunch though, the parking was easy, great location for us being near to Chatsworth and Bakewell. The place could be really great, it's part the way there, nice décor in the pub. I think either lower the prices, especially the food or up the quality. I wish I could say I loved our stay there, but it was just O.K

We booked here on a whim when we decided to stay a further night in Derbyshire. The pub itself is nice with a small beer garden at the rear. The common areas of the hotel though were pretty worn especially around our room (number1). The room itself was small but clean, as was the bathroom. The issue for us was the heat. There’s no air con but the room (I think) is above or near the kitchen so when we’re shown the room, on not a particularly hot day, it was uncomfortably hot. The windows were already open but this means that you get noise from the kitchen and the noise of the air/con or extractors of the kitchen/ beer cellar which were switching on and off throughout the night. We did have a fan in the room which we had on most if the night but again it was pretty noisy. Not too sure about the other rooms, but situated where it is, room one could do with air con. The food and drinks were fine , standard chain pub fare. The hotel is well situated between Matlock and Bakewell on the edge of the Peak District

Well placed pub, very helpful staff.

The bathrooms are tired and alrhough the linens and towels were clean the room and bathroom had not been very well cleaned. I’m not looking for dirt but the dog paw on the mirror opened the door to suspicion really - we didn’t have a dog with us. Despite that the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. I’d like to say this is great value for money but the clean staff need some supervision. Thank you everyone else.
