Beautiful setting, gorgeous room , wonderful staff thankyou
David
Breakfast was lovely, freshly cooked to order. Good variety and choice. Staff very attentive both Tom and Michelle were excellent. Plenty of parking spaces.
Peter
Room was clean but dated and could do with a refresh. Evening meal was excellent, I had the steak & Malbec pie and it is one of the best pies I have ever eaten.
Breakfast was a bit hit and miss, there were two of us and one wanted black pudding and one didn’t but neither got any, nor did we get the fried bread, there were only two juices available, orange and apple (I think) but the orange juice ran out and not replenished although there were staff around. You could have tea or coffee by request but only one latte or cappuccino, there were no cereals, fruit or danish etc which you would expect from a hotel chain such as this (Marstons).
However the staff, especially at dinner, were absolutely fantastic, always on hand to help and not too overbearing with the usual ‘is your meal ok’ type scenario. They are a credit to the company.
The reason for the 3 stars is the room needing updating and the breakfast.

Helpful and courteous staff. I would like to commend Sam and Tom at reception. Sam assisted with a quick and smooth check‑in, and Tom took good care in serving breakfast and provided guidance on local walking trails, which were enjoyable.

Courteous staff particularly Alfie and Tom. Room very clean.

Four EV chargers were available which was good.
Room not so good - TV not working (no signal)

Excellent room, comfortable bed, very clean. Although I didn’t eat at the hotel, it was extremely busy throughout my stay, so obviously good food.
Staff were welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help.
Definitely recommend.

The room was spacious and clean, the big bed was very comfortable, we paid for breakfast separately but found it very reasonable and a very good selection. The food was quality produce. But my highest praise goes to the courtesy and service level provided by the staff. We had issues on our journey to the hotel and they could not of been more helpful and considerate. We will definitely be looking to stay here again.
Samuel
My room had a smokey smell. They changed it for me no problem

The hotel was ok and the staff were friendly. The room was tired and needed an update
Barry
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

Simon
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
Jonathan
Lovely place to stay at, aircon unit outside was a bit noisy at times through the night.
Kevin
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

Lack of aircon a real problem.No provision to charge goods and services to room most unhelpful.More staff like Tom would make a big difference

Bakewell visit
Staying to attend a party in the local village . Have stayed here many times for business and it has always been first class. Food is excellent the steak and lamb pies are to die for.
Louise
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.
Barry
A lovely warm
We had a 3 day break mountain bike around the area of Bakewell and the accommodation was an ideal location
Paul
Nice comfy room we was in room 3 and found road noise quite loud
Rebecca
Pleasant Stay
Nice room and bathroom, friendly staff and good breakfast. EV charging and fridge for guests were great touches. Great value
Suzanne
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.
Conrad
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.
Verified traveler
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.
Shantelle
Brilliant stay, polite staff, food menu covered all areas all round beautiful place to stay
David
Room was quite nice but stairs to get there very steep and mostly no banister
David
Last minute booking and not disappointed great staff, food and accommodation. Will return.
Timothy
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.
Gareth
Not their fault, but the room was very hot.
The kitchen fans were just outside the room and they stayed on all night.
They were clearly understaffed for dinner in the evening and the breakfast menu online didn’t really make sense.
However the staff were all really lovely and the surrounding areas were fantastic and worth a visit.

Warm welcome rooms and people
We chose the G&C for an overnight stay after a day at Chatsworth House, due to its location and proximity to the house.
The welcome was bright and warm, just like the rooms. The rooms were spacious and modern, well decorated and clean, with comfy beds and great facilities. Tea and coffee were good and the bathrooms were clean and tidy.
We chose to take breakfast and dinner in the bar. The breakfast was lovely and set us up for our journey. The dinner the night before was a touch disappointing. The veggie sausage and mash used the same cheap vegan sausage used for the breakfast, which we're not appropriate for a hearty evening meal. This is not the fault of the chef or pub team but a poor choice by the menu development chef at head office.
Other than suggesting you look a little further afield for dinner, I'd recommend the G&C for a short stay in the Derbyshire Dales. The team made us feel welcome here.

Can’t fault it!
Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Let’s be realistic, fifty eight quid a night is not gonna get you the Ritz. It’s clean, it’s warm, it’s comfortable, Bed really comfy and you are above an absolutely charming public house with a lovely welcoming feel and country style. Drinks priced as normal pubs. Staff are great and the breakfast was perfect. Parking no problem. What more could you ask for. Defo go again. Yea we’re happy. If I have one complaint (being a beggar for disliking things not in line) the toilet seat was not in line with the pot. I soon sorted that out. If that’s all I have to ‘Grouse’ about it can’t be bad!!
Thanks Grouse & Claret for a good stay. Will be back

Great place to stay for bakewell and Chatsworth
A nice pub with plenty of parking. Beer garden looked good too. On first night we went to the cinema in Chesterfield. We got back at 10.30pm and pub had decided to close early. They let us buy a bottle though and take it to our room. Room was clean, comfortable, and very large bathroom. Everyone there were also really friendly. Pub is a 20 min walk from a great curry place too. Place itself is 10 mins drive from bakewell and Chatsworth house. Would recommend this place and would go back.

Lovely stay
Arrived on a Tuesday midafternoon had to wait a little to register in, but after tha all was fine.

We had meals both nights we stayed, had a good menu. Both meals where tasty and hot. Staff were welcoming, polite and easy to talk too. All in all goog value for money would stay again.

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!
Hayley
Stayed here for 2 nights to attend a family wedding up the road. Our room was lovely, clean and spacious. The bed was so comfy. We had tea in the restaurant on our first night and the food was great, well worth booking a meal if you are staying over. The staff have been welcoming and friendly. I would absolutely stay here again and look forward to coming back!

fishing stay
Overall everything was good. On the down side. The towel rail i. the bathroom was coming off the wall. The top fittings not up to the job. When mentioned to housekeeping i was told the problem wasn't new and it had been reported before. Infact it was a problem in other rooms.

A newly refurb pub with dining and rooms.
Stayed for one night, Saturday in July. The whole premises have recently gone through a big refurb and it really shows.
A well laid out pub with dining areas, numerous different areas to eat and drink. Very friendly and attentive bar team. Dined the Saturday night. Not really a gastro pub ( I guess its not trying to be). Decent food all the same.
Stayed in room 1. Nicely furnished with a good sized bathroom. Had everything needed for a comfortable stay.
Great choice for breakfast. Lovely warm pastries.
Would I recommend a stay here? - In short, Yes. A nice place to base yourself with everything you needed. A short drive from Bakewell. Check out their own website for room bookings as you get 20% of your food bill.

Perfect location, exceptionallyclean, lovely staff
Fabulous warm welcome, the staff were all lovely. We stayed 2 nights for a walking break and it suited our needs perfectly due to the location. Exceptionally clean. Tv didnt work due to a storm but was fixed as soon as we mentioned it. Food was great but the breakfast dissapponting. Some odd banging noises in the room which stopped about 10pm. You are staying over a country pub so dont expect it to be quiet.
The facitities in the room were great.
Overall we absolutely loved it, would recomend and would love to visit again.

We booked in here as it was so convenient to Bamfords auctions and we needed to pick up an item we had purchased and we live a long way away. The hotel was welcoming and clean and staff were helpful. We would not stay again though! Room 1 was noisy all night first because it was over the kitchens but even when kitchens shut there was a boiler like noise all night and the room was cold, only heating was a heater in a timer which was off when we arrived and room was only 14degrees. No instructions but eventually managed to get the heater on but took ages to make any difference and it went off again whilst we were at dinner so room was cold again when we went back to it after! Heater would not stay on and even the staff did not know how to set it so it did. The bathroom was so cold it was unpleasant.sadly this completely spoiled our stay.
Beverley
Staff very friendly and polite. Very comfortable bed. Windows need some work but refit is being done from next week so hopefully that will be sorted. All in all a good experience and would visit again.
David
Good location for Matlick and Chatsworth
Good location for Matlock and Chatsworth. Restaurant and rooms tiday and reasonable.
Joy
Very basic room. Far too hot and no air con. Loud generator type noise outside our window all day and night. Water stains on ceiling. Shower head wouldn’t adjust and just hit the shower door and no water went on you in the shower. Also shower made an awful screeching noise that felt like it could be heard in the whole building and light kept dimming and brightening in the shower. TV was in a weird place in the corner of the room and difficult to see from the bed. Really difficult to open the door with the key. We felt we had paid a lot for a very basic room that wasn’t great.
Pauline
Property provided comfort and convenience.

Room #8 is above three loud kitchen and fridge air-conditioning units, moved to #3 where road traffic noise was a slight issue

Convenient location for countryside weekend away
Good location for lots of activities. We stayed for 1 night, to attend Peakender Beer festival close by. Bus stop just across road. Nice big room, staff friendly, breakfast was great value
Enid
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
Ruth
Handy for Chatsworth and Bakewell. Spacious room and simple decor.

Location wad ideal for visiting Chatsworth House.
The duvet was too high a rating for summer and there need to be a change to suit.
Pillows were tòo soft.

Our room had a view on the air-conditioning on the roof, the room was basic, but the bed was very comfortable, was disappointed that is was a bit overpriced and didn't include breakfast, this was extra. The Staff were very friendly and the food was excellent
Amy
We booked this room as a last minute stay. The room (number 5) was really decent in size and looked very modern, we were surprised at how clean it was too, absolutely spotless! The bathroom was a bit basic and maybe needs some modernising. It didn’t have a bath, but the shower is a decent size and not too small, only thing we would moan about with the shower was how loud it was, it honestly sounded like an elephant! Our other moan was the gap under the front door of our room was to big and it did feel a little less private, but also at night the light shone through it and we had to lay towers down in front of it to block the light as the hallways light was on all night. But overall we would stay again as it’s in a great location, very quiet and the pub itself has nice food and a cute little beer garden to sit in.

Pretty pleased with the stay, staff were welcoming and helpful, letting me stay for another hour for a Zoom meeting with no hassle. Only issue is the noise from what I think is the pipes throughout the morning as people took their showers around the hotel. Stepped in to mine and it was like a jet going off! Apart from that, a great stay.

Good for an overnight in Derbyshire
Room was big and shower worked well. No glasses for water and room felt a bit over priced by the time breakfast was added in.

A lovely stay.
We stayed 2 nights as a celebration of our 15th wedding anniversary. It was a really great place to stay ideally positioned for both Bakewell and Matlock.
Staff were so helpful and the food was fantastic. We will definitely stay again and would recommend.

Good overnight stop
Great overnight stop. Friendly staff, good food, comfortable, clean room. Spacious room, but at least one comfortable chair would have been nice.
