A really good menu and lovely food. I had a Scotch egg to start followed by roast cod with muscles and curry sauce. Both great dishes although I did expect the scotch egg would have been served warm. My only criticism is that the restaurant itself could do with updating. It was a beautiful old room with some lovely original... More

Staff really welcoming and every member of staff was friendly and helpful. Our stay was B&B plus dinner. We particularly enjoyed the meals with plenty of choices for breakfast and the menu for dinner wide ranging in choice. We particularly like the combinations of flavours within each dish, all excellently cooked, and all served promptly. Our rooms all had the... More

After a ruined meal four years ago due to it taking over 90 mins to arrive), risked another visit hoping the management might have improved the efficiency of service. Sadly let down again. Food took 1hr 15min to arrive despite few other customers. Having waited that long with 2 small children we were eager to finish our meals and leave.... More

Having walked the Monsal Dale area lots of times, we always wanted to stay at the Monsal Head Hotel. It didn't disappoint - we had a lovely weekend. We parked in the free car park spaces at the beginning of our stay and didn't need to use the car until we left 3 days later. The reasonably fit can walk... More

I stayed here as part of a walking holiday. The location is superb, with all the west facing rooms having little bay windows with spectacular views over Monsal Dale. The food in the restaurant was excellent: ambitious dishes - I had a blue cheese soufflé to start and halibut in seafood sauce for main - which were well cooked and... More

Visited for a short break this week. The room was lovely. We particularly enjoyed the bay window looking over the dale. Service was excellent from the start to the end of our trip. They couldn't do enough for us. We ate in both the Stable Bar and the restaurant and could not fault either. Thanks to all the team for... More

Had dinner here and for a while we were the only people in the restaurant. Service was prompt and waiter was very courteous. Food was okay but I wouldn't seek the place out: had soup, scotch egg (would have preferred it warm but homemade piccalilli was nice), fishcakes and chicken Caesar salad. Good beer!

I cannot complain about anything with this hotel, good food, good service, good room, friendly , but the room is £20 more than others in the locallity, the beer is 20p more than it should be, the food although excellent is a a few quid overpriced. Consequentially there are not many folk there so not much atmosphere. However it is... More

Very helpful and friendly staff, good food and an original menu in the Stable Bar, (although the price of a large glass of red wine was excessive), great views from the room, a really comfortable bed. The only thing stopping us giving a 5 star review was the lacklustre and underpowered shower in the en-suite. We'd definitely stay here again,... More
