Atmosphere,food,service all above ticked the boxes .just what we needed as a mini break away .thank you Duke of wellington.sorry we just missed out on the pies as ran out x maybe a bigger order next time as they seem a winner with everyone.. thank you again
Staff really friendly and welcoming, also very helpful. The room needs updating and the bed creaked so had bad night sleep. The pub is great and very popular
Disgusting room, cobwebs, spiders , black mould all around the bath , mould on picture frame, very hard mattress , creaky bed , stains on walls , just awful , please avoid not fit for purpose , canât understand good reviews ! There must be better rooms , ours was no 8 !!!! Stay away unless want to sleep with spiders !!
Staff were really friendly at arrival and breakfast, Steph really took care of us during our stay. The food both at dinner and breakfast was good pub food and definitely needed after a long trip.
The room itself is basic but very clean, additional items such as tv, kettle, tea,coffee milk, shampoo/conditioner, soap and towels were all provided. The rooms are in converted stables next to the pub and we didnt really hear any noise from the pub or other guests so managed to get a good nights sleep. Around the accommodation was a lovely little garden with a little pond that looks well looked after it nice to view in the morning.
We have a car so the steep hill up to the pub wasn't an issue but other guests would need to consider this if planning to walk into Matlock.
Overall, a really lovely stay and we would be happy to stay here again.
lovely stay in Matlock. Great rooms and pub. Nice and quiet in the rooms and dog friendly which is great.
Staff all lovely. We will be definitely staying again.
It was perfect for us - easy to get to and a great stop off on our way south. I know they are planning to upgrade all the rooms but ours was clean and cosy and just what was needed for a quick overnight. Althought to be fair we could have stayed alot longer as the pub was just as we would want an old English pub to be - traditional and modern. Oak furniture, fireplace,wee nooks, centuries of history and many chiming clocks...as well as all the things a good modern pub should have. We missed pub food as we were late checking in( rang ahead but late arrival was no prob ..not least cos the rooms are in several outside stone building conversions), but breakfast was great - landlord and bar staff friendly and up for a chat. The guinness was great and Inches on draught ! We had a really really lovely brief stay - unexpectedly so and so good that we will def go back. The menu looked great also. The photos dont do the place justice, but dont tell, as then everyone will want to stay there ; )
We had a lovely stay. Room basic but clean tidy and had everything we needed. Very quiet.
The pub food was excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful.
The room was ok. Nothing to write home about, bathroom adequate although the tiles were loose.
Breakfast for which we paid on check in; well it was ÂŁ10 each so not expensive but no options. No cereal although there were some boxes but no dishes or milk. No options on what we wanted. Weâd booked it fo 8:30 am on a Sunday morning so not late. The server really couldnât be bothered and wanted us gone. Didnât ask if we wanted more coffee/tea. On the whole, I wished weâd have gone elsewhere for breakfast where someone wanted our money.
