Impressed by the welcome we received; friendly polite young man. The room was better than we expected; very clean, smart furniture and comfy king size bed.. the room appeared recently decorated. The bathroom was a good size, with the shower over the bath. Detailed notices clearly understood. We were meeting family so did not eat in the pub, but enjoyed local beer and a glass of wine later. All was quiet after closing time. We slept fairly well. Breakfast (included in the booking) choice excellent and we were looked after by a cheerful young lady. Our only disappointments were the coffee in the dining room was a poor instant one and when I asked for a round of toast was politely advised I would be charged as it was an extra..

Located just off what I thought would be a busy A-road, but it turned out to be a really quiet area. The views from the window were superb when the sun rose. The evening meal in the restaurant was delicious, the onion ring with the Jockey Burger was to die for! Topped off with a wonderful White Forest Gateau sundae for dessert and a decent selection of ales on draught. The full English breakfast was probably the most filling I have experienced, the portions were top drawer. Throw in the really friendly staff, a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

The mattress on the bed was a touch hard, but for one night it was not a problem.

The room was lovely. The robes and slippers were a great touch. The breakfast was included in the price and it was very nice. The staff were helpful. It was a great location for where we wanted to be. Not far from Matlock at all.

The only downside (which didn’t really affect the stay at all) was the WiFi wasn’t great in our room. We spoke to a helpful member of staff who said they would restart the router to see if that would help. We took a firestick to watch films on a night and it wouldn’t connect. We tried several times.

Really nice hotel - was expecting a smaller hotel not as well appointed. Hotel was lovely with good food

Staff were a little unattentive. The breakfast restaruant had no one to greet (so had no idea how things worked with tea/coffee, etc.) or take orders since the one person on duty was away chatting in the kitchen for protracted periods (both mornings different servers) so breakfast took a long time to be ordered and served but was great when it was served. Reception desk was unmanned for check out so cleaners had to find someone. In bar, server was distracted by friends and they were "playing about" rather than attending to other customers. It was more of an irritant than an issue but should be addressed....

This was a lovely 2 nights away with my mum, didn't know what to expect but glad we came. The rooms are immaculate, bed is so comfortable, plenty of tea and coffee even get some biscuits. Bathroom is a fab size and the shower is heaven. Staff are very polite, well mannered and smartly dressed and well go out their way to make your stay a great one. Breakfast is lovely and plenty of it to stay your day. Aye in the restaurant on the Saturday night and would highly recommend, food was hot and very tasty. I'd advice to book a we read it was best to and glad we did as it gets busy. Atmosphere is fab and the regulars are welcoming. Will be back again.

N/A

This hotel is an absolute gem. Centrally located for touring the Dales we loved everything about it. The price was excellent for a standard room - which in comparison to some we have stayed in - was not standard at all. The room was a great size, with an large bathroom, lovely toiletries and was spotlessly clean. We had a really good evening meal in the restaurant, again excellent value for money and the choice for breakfast for both continental or cooked was perfect. Our meals were well cooked, and nicely presented. Staff were very helpful.

Nothing not to like.

The room was clean and a good size. The toiletries and fresh towels were a bonus extra. Good tea making facilities. The evening meal and breakfast were very nice and plentiful. The bar manager who was on duty on the Sunday evening was very helpful and attentive.

Breakfast took a while due to their only being one chef on. I had to ask for a pot of tea at breakfast as the flask of tea was cold. The waitress bought it over straight the way and apologised. Maybe pots of tea would be a better idea in the future. The toilet paper was very low quality.

Large room, able to open windows and get fresh air. Well presented breakfast. Shower was hot and easy to control, large walk in shower. Guest access via side door -with card- after booking in. Good location for visiting local attractions.

Having to wait at a busy bar on a Saturday evening with suitcase to book in...felt uncomfortable as I was dressed in comfy travelling clothes after long journey. Shower mat slippy on tiled floor, would benefit from non slip backing.

Excellent room and facilities, well worth the money. We booked a table for an evening meal which was amazing. Lovely restuarant with a real cozy but elegant feel. We missed breakfast as we slept through our alarm! The bed was too comfy! THE TEAPOT COCKTAIL WAS AMAZING!!

The view from our room wasn't perfect but we closed the curtains. We could hear the handier downstairs in the toilet but only while the pub was open. When the pub closed it was perfectly quiet.

Perfect location for our visit to Matlock (about 5 miles in the car). Ample parking. Check in was super simple with very helpful staff. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean, the beds were very comfortable and the shower was lovely and powerful. We were on the 2nd floor and could not hear any noise. The breakfast in the morning was amazing and plentiful. Would not hesitate to visit here again!

I can’t think of any negative points.
