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.

Surpassed my expectations for a Marstons!

The location, building, restaurant and room were all amazing. Done to a really good standard. Staff were super friendly and lovely. Food was also great. We were really pleasantly surprised, as we weren't expecting such a great stay in a Marstons!

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

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Room comfort
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.

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.

Not enough facilities

Did not know room was up very steep awkward stairs( was not told) No wardrobe just open hanging space and no drawers st all to put clothes underwear in. Shower wax over bath and didn't drain well making it impossible to use as you would be standing in 4inches of water. I think this accommodation was very expensive for what was provided

The room was lovely (room 5) with a very comfy bed, decent enough facilities, but no complimentary biscuits, which is unusual, but understandable in these times. The staff are very friendly and helpful, rushed off their feet as most places, but knew what they were doing. Food was lovely and varied, breakast and dinner

Nice looking pub. The staff were all good, but it seemed like it was almost always a differ member of staff, whether being served our food or at the bar, or at breakfast. It would have felt a little less impersonal if the same members of staff had been serving us. The food, well my pie was O.K but my wife's fish was well overcooked, expensive for what it was. The breakfast was sparce and not cooked so well, also the tables were sticky, Oh! and we had to pay for our coffee's on top of an overpriced breakfast. I did like the pub area though. We stayed in a room with a roof as a view, bed was comfy enough, the bathroom did not feel at all inviting, bit shoddy. The staff seemed like a nice enough bunch though, the parking was easy, great location for us being near to Chatsworth and Bakewell. The place could be really great, it's part the way there, nice décor in the pub. I think either lower the prices, especially the food or up the quality. I wish I could say I loved our stay there, but it was just O.K
