Clean and nice quiet place to spend few days. The environment is good. Rooms are good as well. Only thing lacked is staffs aren’t that friendly. We need to go in search of them than get assistance needed. They don’t even pay attention.

Perfect for a one night stay in Derbyshire. Booked two rooms, messaged on the day to request one set up as double, one set up as twin. Message acknowledged and rooms set up as requested. Very clean room and bathroom. Good amount of space for the price. No noise, from other guests, so perfect nights sleep. The hotel is separate from the pub next door. Would definitely book again without hesitation. Electric car chargers from Osprey and Instavolt on site.
