Excellent place for an overnight work trip. Extremely clean and the owner in particular was extremely polite and helpful.

No complaints at all. It delivered all that was needed and we'll come again. But, being really picky, the room was so well sized that it felt a bit bare. Perhaps a desk?

I am a regular visitor to this area but had not stayed at the Strutt Arms before (we usually use Makeney Hall - but there was no availability). Really like the place - more lively, good Indian restaurant and bar on site, and a good breakfast included in the price. The room was really spacious. I had some concerns it would be noisy right next to the A6, but the the bedroom was well sound-proofed and not a problem at all. Regular bus service right out side.

Room 2 is a big space. It would be great to make more use of this space! Perhaps with a small sofa, additional arm chair or coffee table? Even a big rug would fill the space nicely.

Comfy room and bed. Lovely bathroom. Great staff. Yummy breakfast.

Room was superb, great size, comfortable, lovely bathroom and shower. Staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was lovely. We had an evening meal there which was lovely, but if you didn’t like Indian food thrte wasn’t another option.

The standard room we had was fine for one night but did not have a wardrobe as advertised - just a few hooks on the wall and no hangers. Only there for one night so not a problem but if had been there a few nights there wasn't anywhere to put clothes.

Friendly staff, nice bar and Indian restaurant on site. Easy parking. Good nights sleep. In historic area (World Heritage Site) with interpretation panels near by. Historic building and fairly close to town centre.

A second comfortable chair in room would be much appreciated for watching tv etc.

Breakfast & Location excellent. Helpfulness and cheerfulness of staff excellent. Size of room excellent. Decoration around hotel very attractive. 2nd time visiting this hotel and restaurant and will continue to return in the future.

At the start of the week, when the restaurant was shut, the breakfast was continental rather than cooked. I find a cooked breakfast every day a bit heavy, so it was a bonus to me, and the cooked breakfast was lovely when it came.

Beautiful room and really kind and thoughtful staff. The Indian gastropub downstairs is lovely and the food and drinks delicious. I’m rebooking.

Breakfast was good. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable.

The room was far too hot- quite unbearable and no obvious ability to open the window due to secondary glazing. A green emergency light Was on all night in the room and so requiring complete darkness to sleep it was very bright and unhelpful. Breakfast was over cooked. All the staff were excellent

The room was excellent. Great bed, linen, lots of towels, clean, friendly staff, tea making facilities, an iron, good car parking

Not sure about the restaurant area, when I had breakfast the tables werent cleared there was no music on, very quiet!

The room was lovely and the setting

The mattress could be comfortable. Perhaps a matters topper would help.

Such a nice design of the room and downstairs restaurant! Warm welcome and very nice staff including the manager who welcomed us and made the check in, the breakfast Chef who was so hospitable next level including the girl from Sunday . Such lovely people working here that made our stay lovely. The food is amazing as well and a must try(indian cuisine).

That the Srutt Arms is only the upstairs part. The downstairs is called the Elephant and Peacock, because of this we drove right passed before checking on Google maps to realise it is two properties in one our mistake!!

Good staff,bar choice good,warm, comfortable bed and room, breakfast very nice.The menu looks good but not tried as arrived late, remember this is a Indian restaurant with a English twist.

Continental breakfast was minimal and had only a limited selection. Only a minor criticism.( I'm not a lover of cooked breakfast.) It wouldn't put me off staying again. I couldn't plug in my hairdryer near to a mirror. Needs a luggage rack in the room.

Very spacious comfortable room. All staff very friendly. Had a meal in their Indian restaurant which was excellent. Would definitely go again.

Sadly the restaurant wasn't open the night we were there - a shame because the menu looked exciting. The bathroom was a little too warm for us, and we didn't manage to turn the heat off - though the bedroom temperature was fine.

The room was large, clean, comfortable and actually understatedly beautiful: modern but working well with the lovely old stained glass windows, and distinctive but restful. The bed was really comfortable. We overlooked the road, but the glazing kept the noise at bay. Downstairs as well the decor was excellent, spacious and blending modern and traditional with a combined British, European and Indian feel. (For an Indian restaurant in an old English building.) Staff were friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay again.

The signage was difficult to locate - it’s within the Elephant and Peacock.

Beautiful interiors, good food, good value for money, friendly staff

When we arrived we was told we could check in at 3pm onwards, there was no sign which entrance to use everything seemed to be locked no lights on, at 3.25 we still couldnt get in eventually my husbnad found the chef from the kitchen and let us wait in the bar, the manager arrived 3.35pm and said so sorry the traffic was really bad, i said i had come all the way from Essex, when eventually got in the room the bed didn't seem to be level the right side seemed to dip the pillows were very soft, there was cobweb above the bed on the ceiling. Their was a couple of lamps in the room by the bed they didn't seem to work we did try all the light switches.

We loved our room, the bathroom was excellently styled. The downstairs was decorated absolutely beautiful. The staff was amazing. In the room you couldn't hear the traffic, the curtains in the room blocked out the head lights. Food was amazing the Indian dinner was stunning and the breakfast was so hot and tasty. Thank you we will be coming again very soon.

Only to be really picky but there were a few marks on the bed cover, almost as if they had been caught on machinery (they were black marks). The mattress was a little lumpy. We stayed in room 9 which backed onto the back of the kitchen. Every now and then the sound of a generator or maybe a fan would go off which was a little distracting but not enough to cause a massive disturbance.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were welcoming on arrival and explained everything well, they even showed us to our room. The Indian food in the pub was really good, there was a 10% off voucher in the room to use on the bill and the breakfast was lovely too. The location was excellent as we went to a wedding at Shottle Hall which was only a 10 minute drive down the road.

Very little, we’d stay again. Two small things, bedside lamps didn’t work and the fruit at breakfast had seen better days, but all in all lovely and very good value for money

Lovely friendly staff, comfortable room, lovely indian restaurant which was a real bonus.

Told when we got there Sunday there would be no hot breakfast on the Monday as they are closed which was fine. Came down Tuesday and no breakfast was offered 😞 disappointing as had such good reviews. Room on the back of hotel was a little noisy with generators on the back from the kitchen and was glad of the kitchen closed on the Monday as the smell of food was strong. Room was a little stuffy too. With the hotel being quite empty it would of been nice to be put in a room less noisy on the front with windows you could open.

Clean rooms, comfy pillows, lovely location nice decor.
