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.

All good except TV in room 2. Husband needs subtitles to watch, hearing lose/ stroke. Couldn’t find anywhere in settings. I did ask for help and told someone would look at it. No one came back to me and it was just the same following day.

Lovely hotel/pub

Friendly hotel close to Chatsworth house. Reasonably priced, comfortable and clean room. The food was very good as was the breakfast. Friendly staff too. There are EV chargers in the car park which is a bonus.

Clean room, friendly staff.

We stayed for one night when visiting Chatsworth House. Met by friendly staff on arrival. Check in process quick and easy (checked in online). Found our rooms easily. Rooms were clean. We liked the style of the decor. A lot of peeling paint/patches on the walls. One room had an issue with a very noisy bathroom ceiling fan but we sought help the issue was temporarily rectified (to be look into more detail upon departure). Bed was comfy. Good amenities, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities.

Staff were friendly and attentive. The room was very well presented, just a shame that there was no aiir conditioning which resulted in the room being excessively hot until almost midnight. The room was positioned above a kitchen door which kept banging shut till late and again from the beginning of breakfast which resonated up through the floor and onto the bed. Good room, terrible/ little sleep.
