The trap in the shower was a little odourous

Very clean, tidy, and modern rooms. The food was lovely. Staff were friendly. Good parking. Lovely views from my room

It's not really 'didn't like', more a suggestion. An option to have breakfast would have been nice. Tjo t h the room only option suited us aswell. It wasn't a deal breaker and I'd definitely stay again, without doubt.

Our room was beautifully clean and comfortable. Staff very helpful. We were offered the opportunity to book a table for dinner, but as we were at a family event in a nearby village we declined. But the staff were very attentive., and gave us the name of a taxi firm so we could book in advance.

WC didn't flush properly, tv had no basic channels and fiddly to use. DNo shampoo etc in the shower. Didn't feel as well maintained as at our previous stay

The location suited us as it was near to our next day's destination

No choice of veg with meal. Small puddings (for the price) Medium pinot £6?? The noise.. Oh my days I'm sure the noise from the bar/music/jukebox literally came up through the plug hole! I overheard a convo from (I presume) work mates chatting about a job they were going to the next day, as the pub got busier conversations where harder to hear clearly but still it didn't make for a quiet evening. About 10 ish it was a little quieter but the 'piano' music filled the bathroom. The walls and floor must be made of cardboard as we could also hear next doors TV until late into the night. Maybe it was just our room, but I wouldn't stay again sadly.

The hotal/pub was easy to find as on main road and has a good sized carpark. We had room number 5 which was of a good size, double and single bed, shower/bathroom and separate toilet. Heating work well as did TV. Staff, although rushed off their feet were welcoming (we arrived about 5.30pm on a Friday and many evening meal time slots were already full, so we booked before going to our room). The food was nice, I had slow cooked pork belly - but it only came with one veg type (no choice) which on that day was cabbage.. Not a fan myself. Would have been better to have a selection/choice of veg. Puddings (we had choc fudge cake and a lemon cheese cake) were delicious though (compared to other venues) a little on the small side yet expensive approx £7.

The property could be improved if breakfast was provided. The mattress’s could be a little more comfortable.

Very friendly helpful staff. Delightful restaurant with excellent food. There was even an entertaining pub quiz when we visited. It was very dog friendly.

We were not looking for pretentious or superfluous details. The hotel is in the middle of the country and its restaurant and bars seemed to be popular with local residents.

The location is perfect for visiting important historical building of great cultural interest. The country is very agreable and I imagine very good for those who like walking. We were treated very well at The Shoulder at Hardstoft and slept very comfortably.

Nothing really. The bathroom was a bit small, and dated; but that is being picky.

Gorgeous little pub, with really friendly staff and a lovely little restaurant. The food was beautiful. Bedroom was very quiet, and a good size. It is really close to Hardwick Hall and Matlock. We stayed with our dog, and would absolutely stay again.

If I had to be picky the bed isn’t very comfortable but we still slept and wouldn’t stop us coming back.

Exceptionally clean, nicely decorated, good facilities and lovely accommodating staff. Food is amazing in the restaurant and has a lovely atmosphere.
