A nice room, clean, comfortable bed and good facilities. Needed a little TLC, carpet seen better days and curtains hanging loosely from it's rail didn't help the otherwise pleasing appearance. Clean bathroom, powerful shower. Noise from other guests caused some disturbance, doors being allowed to bang shut later at night and in the early hours, also some bathroom noise. No... More

Stayed in the campsite opposite a number of times and use the pub for food and facilities. Toilet and shower rooms are in need of serious renovation. No lock on door, showers flood all over floor, broken toilet seats. Just no a good experience. Bar staff are friendly and drinks are good. Food has been ok over the years, but... More

I could have handled the basic and tired decor but the room was too noisy, if it wasn't from the road it was from the bathroom and surrounding neighbours - it was loud and constant. The shower didn't work, neither did the television or clock. The tea and coffee facilities were a sorry sight aswell. I quite often enjoy a... More

We visited this pub, which was within walking distance or our B&B. We ordered very near close of food orders which was not a problem. The staff could not have been more helpful and did their best to make us feel very welcome. Even our dog was welcomed. We ordered the homemade vegi pie, which was gorgeous.... the best I... More

Having spent a lovely night at a B & B in Alfreton the night before, we were disappointed with the pub room which was £5 more at a charge of £80 for double room. Noisy, shabby, no remote for tv as it had been stolen by previous guest & gurgling noise from bathroom throughout night. Big plate of English breakfast... More

Great campsite, quite basic but does what it says on the tin. Food in the pub is reasonably priced and decent, locals and staff really friendly. Showers could do with a bit of an overhaul, but it was the end of the no doubt busy summer season, perhaps these are on the repairs list Ideal situation for walking and biking.... More

Having read other reviews I was a bit concerned about 9 of us eating here. But all was fine, The homemade stew was lovely, Pie and chips was just that and tasted great, Burgers fine, chicken was a little dry but ok. Home made puddings were good. Choice was a bit limited, but we were made welcome. It's not fine... More

I stayed here for 1 night on 5th November whilst attending a family wedding near by. I was a little wary about the hotel after reading some comments on here but I have to say it was brilliant. The staff were extreamly friendly (even giving us a lift back to the wedding to save on a taxi!) we needed a... More

After reading many poor reviews I thought I'd write about our stay, we've just got back from a stay here and found it lovely, our room was on the front but could hear no noise from the road, the room was lovely and clean, very soft comfy bed, very clean bathroom, the staff were all very friendly, we had breakfast...

We camped on the field opposite and for a returned favor our group went over to the pub to eat. What a disappointment to say the least. The food was at best atrocious. Chips soggy and sweet, the beef steak was more like pork - just where do you buy grey beef from again? Chicken pie that was tasteless, anemic... More
