The staff were very friendly and the food and atmosphere in the pub was lovely.

No breakfast! You can’t just be a ‘B’ - that’s ridiculous - add the other ‘B’. Come on, with clearly a great reputation for excellent food surely you could provide some sort of breakfast?! I know it would be the best for miles around with people stampeding to stay the night, just for the breakfast. It would turn a 3 star into a 5 star experience. Not having a lovely breakfast to look forward to really took the edge off our experience.

Location was great for what we needed. The room was a great size, particularly with a kid and dog in tow. The pub itself is a lively locals pub with great food and a nice atmosphere. Gabbi checked in with us each day to make sure that the room was alright, and if there was anything else that we needed.

The only thing that could make this better would be to serve breakfast. There are local businesses a short drive away to get breakfast at, but even a continental buffet would have been ideal. There is tea and coffee in the room though so we were able to make a drink on a morning before going out.

This place has got to be the best doggy friendly pub for an overnight stay we have ever used. The owners and staff are lovely people very welcoming and friendly to us and our labradoodle. Our room was lovely and clean and cosy. We were staying as visiting in the area. The bar had a fab roaring fire and had a lovely atmosphere. We sat in the library room for our meal and the food and service was top notch. We stayed on a Wednesday and they have a quiz on which we really enjoyed the place was packed! Brilliant evening. Thank you all for making our stay so lovely. We will be back hopefully soon. Don't hesitate to book here with your pooch it's brilliant 😀

Nothing

V comfortable room with great facilities. Loved having Netflix available, plus the ability to stream from our own tech made watching things easier. We ate in the restaurant which was quiet early on. Food was amazing, lamb shank which melted off the bone. Both starters (soups of the day and garlic mushrooms) were amongst the best we've ever had. There was a comedy night on which we were worried would disturb our evening but this wasn't the case and noise levels died down at a reasonable time. We would definitely stay here again.

Not a negative, but it would be useful if breakfast was an option. We were only staying for one night, so had breakfast at Matlock Garden Centre around 30 mins away - this was lovely, but in site breakfast would have been easier.

Well we stayed early in October for one night and loved it, the staff were very welcoming, and the food looked great, as we was out drinking that night we didn't eat,.we decided to book again but for two nights later in October, and again it was absolutely lovely, warm welcome, lovely clean rooms, clean throughout, and we ate this time, I was looking forward to trying there steak and trust me when I say, it's the best steak for miles.. if your looking for top quality and a really reasonable price then the shoulder is a must try. We will definitely be staying again.

Having to go 😔

Great location to access out of town yet close enough to find shopping, petrol etc. 10min away. Having their own free parking on site is a huge plus! Great charm and history of the building paired with the pub downstairs. Friendly staff, great welcoming first stay on our trip!

Facilities are limited due to the building's age, with low shower and toilet pressure needing pull-chord electricity to run. The rooms were a decent size for 2 but wouldn't say 'tastefully' decorated. The stairs up to the rooms are tricky to navigate any suitcases with but the host kindly offered to help still.

Love the location and ease of free parking. The staff (the manager in particular) was extremely polite, professional, and helpful. We booked a table for dinner and we all ordered something different with each meal as tasty as the next - we really enjoyed our dinner which arrived in good time, hot and amazing quality presentation. The atmosphere was pleasant and we could have our dog with us in the pub for dinner. Enjoyed a stroll around the area after dinner. The room is lovely. Spacious and comfortable for my husband, teenage daughter and myself. If we are in the area again we will definitely come back even if it's just for a meal. Thank You for such a pleasant stay.

The bed was a little hard but that's down to personal preference, but for me ai just prefer a softer mattress

Staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The food was excellent with the added bonus of the price. I have two teenagers who are fussy eaters and even they agreed the food was great. Everywhere was clean with good quality towels. Would definitely return the next time we’re in the area.

The room I feel was a little dated and a little overpriced. Although very spacious for a family room. We didn’t mind paying that little bit more because the rest of our stay was lovely.

Our room was beautifully clean and comfortable. Staff very helpful. We were offered the opportunity to book a table for dinner, but as we were at a family event in a nearby village we declined. But the staff were very attentive., and gave us the name of a taxi firm so we could book in advance.

It's not really 'didn't like', more a suggestion. An option to have breakfast would have been nice. Tjo t h the room only option suited us aswell. It wasn't a deal breaker and I'd definitely stay again, without doubt.

Hosts were lovely people. Very welcoming and accommodating. Quality of food was amazing and good value for money.

Not really a didn't like answer but think description should be changed on booking.com as there wasn't shower accessories or choc/cookies, a little touch that is always a plus. Please don't see this as a negative, though, just an observation
