    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.

    Quiet Easter Weekend

    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

    No shelf to put things on in the bathroom. Not possible to use hair drier in front of mirror ; needs a mirror above the desk in the main room. Would have been nice if the bar was open more hours.

    Large room, nice decor super soft towels, quiet, even though on a main A road. Bed very comfy !! Cooked breakfast was good quality.

    Said the room was soundproof which it wasn’t by any stretch, loud music downstairs (usually I would be fine with thy is but booked the room as I knew I’d need to sleep early. Traffic loud and noise from downstairs and adjacent rooms loud. Mention of breakfast on previous reviews all said it was amazing but no cooked breakfast either day I stayed, very basic continental breakfast with stale pastries, no proper coffee and awful bread for toast. Also restaurant not open Monday night either so very lacking for me but that was personal to the days I visited, I feel it should be cheaper for those nights and MUCH more obvious as I wouldn’t have stayed if I had known.

    Lovely building and very very comfy bed, lovely bedding, toiletries and room. Evening food when restaurant was open was incredible Indian food- really delicious and authentic.

    Didn't dislike anything! Loo seat was wobbly when we got there, so needs mending but that's all!

    Fabulous room (No.2), very quiet. Good facilities. Everything to do with dining (inc. breakfast was excellent) we stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and had the option of cooked breakfast each day. Had two evening meals and they were really good, great atmosphere and also sport was on, but at one end of bar/restaurant so just available for those who were interested.

    Unable to gain access to the breakfast area at 7.30am, due to locked door at the bottom of the stairs. Breakfast did take quite sometime, with two full breakfasts to another table being delivered prior to my poached eggs on toast. (approx. 35 mins)

    I like this place though the owners need to clarify on Mondays and Tuesdays there is only continental breakfast. I knew this and it’s in their bedroom instruction pack but it’s not clear on the internet. I saw some customers very disappointed.

    The property is excellent. Lovely bedrooms and quiet.
