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
