Room was very clean and comfortable. Easy access and parking. Great Indian restaurant with excellent food.

The bathroom's floor tiling was badly fitted. Floor tiles had been laid on an uneven floor and so most of the grouting had come away. This left tiles loose and moving when walking on them and also a safety hazard. The metal bars in the roof were a nice original feature but in the bathroom the bar was a bit low and my husband banged his head once in the night. The room was not serviced the whole time we were there (3 days) this was apparently what was offered, although if we asked for replenishment of teas, coffees and clean cups, this was done quickly. The breakfast buffet could have had a few more choices for continental options but cooked breakfast was good.

Hotel is above the pub, the Elephant & Peacock, serving excellent Indian food which we were fortunate to experience. Our room was large, had everything we needed, and more, and was very comfortable. Loved the decor. Great night’s sleep and superb breakfast in the morning. Staff were so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us when we hadn’t reserved a table that evening. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone considering booking. To avoid disappointment, reserve table at restaurant.! This is a very popular place to eat. We stayed on a Saturday night and the place was buzzing.

Nothing!

Excellent value for money. Staff were charming, welcoming and helpful. The room was a good size and had everything we needed. Cooked breakfast was very good. Although it was busy downstairs, the room was quiet (apart from the obvious traffic sounds which you'd expect from a roadside location although even that wasn't a problem). Always space to park. It ticked all the boxes for us and we would definitely stay again.

Very limited choice of fruit at breakfast. The first morning there were apples and one satsuma. I took the satsuma but it was very dry. The second morning there was only the choice of apples. There was a towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door from the previous occupant which had obviously been missed.

The breakfast was very nice, the staff were lovely, and we enjoyed the evening meal. We also had a lovely walk, exploring the village.

The description on the Booking.com website needs updating. The pub is now called the Elephant & Peacock and this is written in large letters on the outside wall, the only view visible from the road. We couldn’t find the Strutt Arms and drove through the village several times before stopping and asking a local resident who told us that the pub was now Indian-run and had a new name. The dining menu is exclusively Indian (the food was delicious) so maybe Booking.com should make this clear.

Our room was huge and exceptionally nicely decorated with a fab new bathroom , all modern but tastefully done. Our bed was large bed 5ft or more. Some little toiletries in the bathroom, I didn't expect for the price, which was extremely reasonable considering a full English Breakfast is offered with, juice,cereals, Tea ,coffee and toast, all including in the p decorated on a modern Indian theme with a nice atmosphere. The hotel / Pub is The Strutt Arms but it is an Indian restaurant, very nicely decorated with a modern Indian theme. Worth a visit The best recipe on the menu, by far, was the Railway Lamb ,very flavoursome with medium heat, not hot. The Tarawalla Chicken was lovely too. The mixed starter for 2 was lovely and different to the usual Indian starters worth a try but a tad expensive at £20 for 2 to share.

There was no mention that the Strutt Arms pub side of the hotel wasn't open until 3 pm. We thought there would have been someone in the pub side a reception before then !!! 😞 The menu was limited.

Beautiful kept hotel and lovely social area and bedrooms. All beautiful decor. A bit noisy in rooms overlooking the main road but didnt spoil the stay. Fantastic clean bathroom , great shower and comfortable bed. Iron and ironing board, hairdryer , towels and bathroom products all lovely quality and plenty on the hospitality tray all provided. Beautiful decor in all areas, lovely lighting and fixtures throughout. Large outdoor seating area with parasols, lighting and very comfortable. All staff very friendly and attentative. Was advised where to go for food as the restaurent doesnt open on Monday. Had a lovely curry meal on Tuesday evening. Not too hot, good portion size and all served with excellent customer service. Happy hour for drinks between 4pm and 6pm Tuesday to Saturday.... no complaints about that !!!! Breakfast with plenty of choice and served upto 9.30 p.m Would highly recommend a stay here. Ideal for Matlock, Bakewell and the Derbyshire Dales areas.

Bacon and sausage at breakfast were a bit greasy. Thought they may have been cooked in a pan rather than grilled. Stayed on the hottest 2 nights in July so bedroom overlooking the front was very hot but the hotel cannot rule the weather. And same as that traffic noise cannot be controlled.

The bonus was having a curry house in the hotel! There was plenty of parking and the building was in a nice location. The meals we had in the evening were nice.

Breakfast portion was small. Very small portion of beans with vege breakfast (a tablespoon at the most). Veggie sausages weren't very nice. Fruit juice tasted odd and couldn't even tell what flavour it should have been as it just tasted very sweet. There was no sign for the Strutts Arms only the Elephant and Peacock which is the curry house so wo drove past a couple of times trying to find the place. Signage should be improved or make it clearer that it is at the Elephant and Peacock. Could do with better cleaning in the hotel bathroom.

This is the 2nd time staying here. Location to National Memorial Arboretum for us was good as we attended an event there. Food is fantastic, probably the primary reason for our return visit. Rooms are spacious, modern and comfortable.

Light bulb not working in bathroom. No toiletries so for a one night stay I was unprepared. Plenty of tea and coffee sachets but insufficient milk, I'm sure I could gave asked for more but didn't notice until early morning. Orange juice ran out at breakfast before we had chance to have any, when breakfast times are prebooked they know how many guests they will be serving. Cooked breakfast as a whole good but beans were cold.

Simply cannot fault anything The staff from arriving to leaving were amazing when we first arrived the lady who was front of house was so polite professional couldn’t do enough we arrived early for a wedding they sorted everything out for us couldn’t do enough would recommend go back even if it was just to meet her a true credit to the establishment Well done just keep doing what you’re doing Thank you everyone From Doncaster

The room was amazing The size of the room was probably the biggest and most comfortable we’ve ever stayed in in the time we’ve ever traveled and that around 40 years

breakfast great - glad it was cooked breakfast though would have been disappointed with continental breakfast, apparantly dont always do cooked breakfast, think this needs to be explained a bit better at time of booking. room was big enough for 3 beds, it was huge ! comfy bed and pillows, incredibly clean.

bit strange on arrival with it being a monday when the restaurant is closed, in fact - it is all closed !!! the restaurant is an obvious success, it feels a little bit like the hotel side is an 'add on' although to be fair, the staff are so lovely and helpful and obliging. felt a little strange on arrival, a lady travelling alone arrived at same time as us, and i would imagine it could have been a little offputting for a solo lady travelling. other than that - there was nothing to dislike.
