Clean, newly decorated room. The whole hotel had been refurbished, opening in May 2026. So all was very good. Went to the bar and had a few tapas to share and drinks. Only downsides to the stay was that there was no buffet selection for breakfast so you had to choose only 1 item per person off the menu. Anything extra was not included in the rate ....so they billed you for it. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

All was fine for everything except we were charged the full stay cost on booking on Hotels.Com and then again on check in. I have been assured my second payment will be refunded in due course. The young lady on check in was very efficient and charming but had a technical problem that led to the overcharging

Lovely place and staff But

The hotel is very tastefully decorated and modern the staff very helpful and friendly the food excellent and cost was very reasonable.
Unfortunately the room we stayed in was right at the front off the hotel it did have modern double glazed windows but they were useless the traffic outside never stopped until after midnight and restarted around 4 am.I am quite a heavy sleeper but this had to be the worst night’s sleep I’ve experienced at a hotel, the bed looked lovely but we couldn’t turn over without it creaking loudly this was mentioned to the staff before we left and the young man was sorry to hear about it he phoned his manager and reported are comments who then said he would contact us to get more information unfortunately we have been back now just under a week and have heard nothing from them.

Ended up on a last minute overnight stay with work and extended by an additional night, partly due to the snow but also the fact that this was the perfect place for some downtime. Staff were super friendly and helpful, food was amazing and the room was just perfect! I work away every week and stay in a number of hotels and I fully and highly recommend this place! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Well looked after establishment. It has been tastefully decorated. Our room was amazing! The decor and size of the room were fab the bathroom was huge!! Not that much could be done about the super hot weather the room was stuffy and super warm. The hotel did provide a fan but I have to say made no difference what so ever! Air conditioning would be an excellent choice if looking to improve comfort during the summer months. Other than that staff were superb. The grounds and pub/restaurant and hotel were well looked after. Close to Ambergate railway station and plenty of hill walking if your a keen walker. Overall happy with my stay.

A lovely hotel in a very beautiful area. The room no6, was superb, comfortable and very clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The only possible negative is the main road outside, but that's not too bad.
My only complaint was that I was never told about the night entry. I came back after a meal and drinks out, only to find the doors locked and no sign of a way in. Luckily I found the door after 15 mind searching.

Lovely stay, spoilt by the traffic.

The Hurt Arms itself was lovely. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, our stay was spoiled by the location of our room. The room itself was decorated to a very good standard and was ultra clean, but unfortunately was situated at the front of the building directly overlooking a junction and so was incredibly noisy with traffic. There was also only a curtain, which we had to leave drawn as both the on coming traffic and anyone on the train, which also overlooked the junction, could see into the room. The room would benefit from the addition of blinds, which would still let light in the room and triple glazing, to cut down the traffic noise. As long as we didn’t have Room 3, we would stay at The Hurt Arms again.

Staff very friendly, room clean. I'd stay again

Seemed a bit faceless when I walked in but staff very friendly, room was very clean but a bit noisy (the A6 runs by the front rooms but double/triple glazing works well), and excellent value. Vegan breakfast was good but hotel was apparently very low on alternative milks which was a shame. Overall though I was pleasantly surprised and unless you really need to be in the town centre (wich is about a ten minute drive away) I'd recommend it.

Spotlessly clean. Ideal location. Nice staff. Only disappointment was our evening meal. Met with friends who had moved to Belper. The food was below par so they will not be adding it to their list of favorite places to eat. However the breakfasts were really good so perhaps we experienced a one off with our burgers.

The room was lovely - Really comfortable bed, bathroom was huge and very clean, I'm a big fan of the White Company toiletries so that was a bonus.
We ate breakfast and dinner at the pub twice, all meals were great. Nice cocktails too.
Very quiet location, close to the Heights of Abraham and not too far from Alton Towers. Nice areas to walk around on the doorstep.
Only thing I would mention is there is no lift in the pub, fine if you have a tiny suitcase but I did not!

Good in parts.

We were not advised of security measures.
Eating in the hotel was a problem.
Understandable to have plastic containers for drinking outside but glasses were left outside overnight, as were overfilled ashtrays.
If you want to meet the rudest, most unhelpful waiter- go to this hotel. His name is Matthew. He insisted on calling me ‚mate‘. He thought that it was polite! Even after mentioning it, he continued to address me in this way.
We were staying at the hotel because it was near my mother‘s funeral. He made a difficult time even worse.
The other staff were friendly and efficient.
Would I recommend this hotel: yes, if Matt iseither on holiday, or fired.

Great find!

I had a lovely nights stay at the Hurt Arm. I stayed in room three, which was spotlessly clean and stylish, the rooms are obviously quite newly renovated and everything was finished to a high standard. The bathroom was also clean and luxurious with a great powerful shower. There was lots of extra touches in the room too.
I ate in the pub downstairs in the evening and was really impressed with the menu and service there too, and similarly the breakfast in the morning was spot on too.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this place to anyone, and I'll certainly stay again if I'm in the area.
