    Fire alarm went off at 2.30am. Toilet paper not provided.

    The hotel was clean and comfortable. Well stocked bar and a nice breakfast. There is a good bus service and bus stop is nearby.

    Couple of fixes in the room such as a loose floor tile in the bathroom. But other than that nothing.

    It was very clean and spacious. Had all the amenities we needed and easy access and great parking. The staff were friendly and very helpful. And the food was lovely. We would definitely stay again.

    The green light inside the room near the door, think it was for fire safety but it made it really hard to sleep as it lit the whole room sadly.

    Lovely rooms, staff were amazing and the food was brilliant and great value for money

    we booked room 1, but it was noisy from the flat above, so did complain the next morning and received a partial refund, which was appreciated, and an apology. It was a shame as overall the stay was excellent.

    Rooms large and beds very comfortable . very clean. Restaurant food really lovely, bonus was the happy hour on drinks between 12-5pm.

    A great hotel in a good location that provides easy access to the Derbyshire countryside.

    The signage for the hotel could be improved or it should be renamed on the website. The name "Elephant & Peacock" was more prominent. Also parking spaces are a bit "tight".

    Although the hotel is very close to the A6 the rooms were remarkably quiet. Both the bedroom and bathroom were newly fitted out clean and comfortable. An excellent place for an overnight stay. The full English breakfast was hot and tasty. Made to feel very welcome.

    Bed was very hard. Found it difficult to get to breakfast room in the morning. Breakfast a joke. Requested flowers for the room twice via email but never heard anything and nothing there.

    Checked in early and met by a nice young man who was helpful. Good location. Food good and fair prices.

    Nothing. All was good

    We arrived late on a Saturday afternoon having visited Matlock and a classic car museum nearby. Arrived to discover it was Happy Hour - on a Saturday! Great value, large wine and bacardi and coke only £7. Stayed in and had Indian meal there in the evening. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and we had a lovely spacious room.

    There was a beautiful roll-top bath but no amenities to enjoy it! We would have had to have bought our own, and I didn't think to!

    The modern rooms and the wonderful atmosphere. My husband and I spent two nights and enjoyed our stay. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. The village was lovely to walk around, and we were heading to Denby for our china anniversary so conveniently located. The food at the restaurant was also fabulous, and some really unique cocktails too!

    Although not their fault, the road is very busy, so traffic noise was an issue. Perhaps a room at the back of the building may be quieter. Also, the continental breakfast was very disappointing. No croissants, yoghurts or pastries, and I had to ask for toast. Just packaged muffins, fruit and tinned latte. I understand that there probably weren’t many guests, but a quick trip to Co-op to pick up some fresh croissants would have made the breakfast more appetising.

    Beautiful location and very friendly staff. We also had the most amazing Indian meal in the restaurant.

    all good

    The location is 6 miles out of Matlock Bath. The place is a very large Pub/Restaurant building with hotel like stay upper floors. Newley refurbished to high standard. We were given a very large corner room with end-suit. The breakfast was cooked to order, very nice and plenty. Large free car park.

    The bar closed before 10.30 - it would have been nice to relax where we were staying before bed but the King William a few minutes' walk away did the job nicely. Mother in law's room didn't have a wardrobe or coat hangers which she found inconvenient (our room did). The TV remote control was missing from one room but not the other. There was noise from a fan during the night (possibly outside from the kitchens?) which was more noticable due to the otherwise quiet location.

    Beautifully refurbished pub and rooms at the Elephant and Peacock (formerly the Strutt Arms). Wonderful Indian restaurant and pub with great value Happy hour! Quiet village location with two other pubs for the evening and nice walks. Excellent cooked breakfast - the best we have had in a hotel/pub accommodation in years. We had two rooms - one for mother in law who has some difficulty walking. The staff were so helpful with carrying her bags and offering to bring food from the buffet table at breakfast which was really appreciated. Great location and value for money - we would stay again!

    We had a room on the road side of the hotel which meant we could hear traffic outside which we are not used too. If road noise is a concern i would ask for a room at the rear.

    We had the continental breakfast which was very good. Plenty of choice and fresh toast and coffee served to the table
