With different staff or management, this hotel may not be too bad. The rooms in the grounds of what is basically a big pub seemed OK but the 'service' is abysmal. The moment we arrived, before we'd even been welcomed, money up front was demanded. Then money up front for breakfast (more of that later) then money up front for... More

Arrived at the hotel to be met by a miserable woman. Room was small but acceptable. Under the bed was filthy. Shower was tiny and dirty. Ate in the pub - food was horrendous! Tasteless, missing items promised on menu, and just generally yuk! Location good to see all of Peak District, Matlock has little to offer, however. Pub at... More

On our way out from work we popped in for a quick meal and drink. Food and service was very good I really enjoyed the thai fishcake and chips. The wine was a reasonable price for a large glass so my group of ladies were very happy! The interior was cosy with a nice open fire, would definately call in... More

Stayed here with 3 colleagues on business. Rooms were fine, no issues at all. We ate in the bar and stated all evening - very nice country pub atmosphere. Breakfast was fine. Only small issue would be lack of fresh coffee - had to make do with powdered crap. The staff allowed us to stay and have a meeting in... More

Booked this b and b for a family treat through late rooms what a joke having driven and spent a lovely day round Matlock arrived here to settle down and relax . On trying to book in at the bar was greeted by a rude uninterested up himself arrogant weasel of a person who told us with the help of... More

The landlord of this pub is an absolute disgrace. We had not been in D of W for some years after a fall out with him over his lack of customer care. He makes promises he doesn't keep, such as a promise that a room price will include breakfast only to then charge extra. Last week he really excelled himself... More

In 68years of being on this planet I have never experienced such disgusting accommodation we will start with the bathroom. It measured approximately 4ft sq. The basin was so small you could hardly wash a hamster in it. The walls were stained with what I do not know what. The shower cubicle was so small that I banged my head... More

We were met and shown to our room by a lady who must have been the manager as she was the only member of staff who seemed to be happy, all of the other staff we encountered during our stay were miserable and seemed as though they would rather be somewhere else. The rooms are basic and small but adequate... More

We stayed in the duke of Wellington last night and it was very nice the food was good the people were very friendly and the room was clean. It was very quiet and the views were lovely, we will definitely return. The prices were very reasonable too my only quibb was that breakfast was so early at the latest 8.30... More
