The traffic was very noisy. There was a new flat screen TV propped on the suitcase stand. The old wall mounted TV did not work. A young man from the bar helped me move the new one as I did not need it. The wifi was rather erratic.

The accommodation perhaps needs an update and is a bit tired but was very comfortable and endearing in a quirky way. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They obviously work very hard at running the establishment. No complaints with the food and thought the breakfasts were lovely especially the vegetarian option. I would happily stay again, thought it was good value.

False info on website which requires updating
We stayed 2 nights Tuesday & Wednesday, we were unaware that there was no food served on Mondays and Tuesdays until we received an email the day before we were due to arrive and also that the Hotel was locked at 10pm Sundays to Thursdays, not just doors locked but the bar was also closed! If we had known this we would not have booked. The room was ok but a bit dusty we stayed in the 4 poster bedroom which was also a bit cold so we turned up the radiators, being February I would have thought that the heating would have been on before our arrival. There was very good food and real ales available at the pub round the corner, The Boat and the two chip shops were also shut on Tuesday so we were very glad that the Boat was open. Although we did not eat at the hotel in the evenings the full English breakfast was very good, warm plates, not greasy and good quality ingredients. Also good real ales were available. We would also like thank Jordan the Duty Manager who was very helpful and polite. The website really needs updating as the extensive Gin Bar was not that extensive and the bar snacks advertised on the bar were not available either. Also we noticed that the hotel website does not have any reviews? Its a very lovely building but some attention to detail is needed in regards as advertising and some dusting wouldn't go amiss!

Good morning Denise,Thank you for your e-mail. Nicola and I took over the pub on the 15th March so your stay was before us however we take your points on board. As of Monday this week food will be served daily including Mondays and Tuesdays. We have increased the bar offering also. I believe that the previous owner was just running stocks down.Once again sorry for your experience and we hope to see you soon.Best RegardsDavid

Lovely hotel with a great frontage, adequate parking, pleasant rooms, very nice fois and drink and friendly staff. Definitely recommend the stay. Only regret is that it was only for one night!

Warm Welcome
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. A great base to explore the surrounding area and walks. Twin Room very comfortable with lovely bathroom. Great breakfast with lots of choice, very generous. Staff and Host very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. There were lots of little extras in our room and at breakfast which were most welcome. A lovely 2 night stay.

Dissapointing
A tired looking hotel with a bit a damp in the room. Bed was very soft so no good for a bad back. No heating so the whole hotel was really cold.

Pleasant accommodation, great staff.
We enjoyed our 1 night stay at this hotel. The staff were particularly welcoming and attentive, especially the owner. We were upgraded to a family room with a larger bathroom and more bedroom space. We ate there that night. The meal was good, home-made, filling food and very reasonably priced. Parking was tricky, but we managed to move the car after a while.

Worth a look
Clearly under new management, and missing a little atmosphere in an area where character offerings abound, huge room well turned out, with good standards, but an empty restaurant and no customers, lead us to eat elsewhere, sadly on the first morning we were informed there was no chef for breakfast, but we were sincerely apologised to, and handsomely compensated, with a little attention to details will make a good venue.

Staff good, in location we wanted, slick of paint would not go amiss, comfortable in a nice old building. But £20 for the dog is a bit steep!

The breakfast was brilliant with lots of choice and very well cooked. We had one evening meal which was also enjoyable. The bar and dining area was comfy and attractive, the bedrooms/bathrooms a little dated but very clean. Unfortunately we had a room at the front and was woken by traffic early both mornings. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay again but ask for a room at the back.

The room wasn’t cleaned to passable standard, layers of dust on the bed frame, behind the bedside table and on the head board. The shower overflowed if you turned it up to high and a leak from the sink appeared on the floor. The staff changed our room which was better. Breakfast was good plenty of variety and Sunday roast small for the cost. Curfew on returning to the hotel in the evening, though this wasn’t an issue for us. Drinks were cheap. Ok for an overnight stay.

One night stay
Nice hotel for us good location regarding Matlock and Matlock Bath. We booked a room making sure there was a bath and shower as my wife is on crutches and is easier for her to use the bath. When we got to the room no bath I did not raise the issue as we were only staying one night. We decided to eat at the hotel, the food was ok but nothing out the ordinary. I also felt the price for food and drink was expensive but it was our choice to eat there. Next morning went for a shower and it took 20 minutes to get hot water, there was a sign inside the shower saying please only run the shower at a low power to allow the water to run away but even then it started to run over the side and you were paddling in the water.The breakfast was good and tasty with a good choice.
