Like others reviewing this pub with rooms, I too had our booking cancelled at the last minute. I did get an explanation (excuse?) which was that there was no electricity upstairs. If genuine, then understandable but there was nothing beyond the 'apologies for the inconvenience' standard phrase. A good establishment would have offered to find us an alternative especially as...

I booked all 3 rooms on 4th January for a stay at The Spotted Cow for this coming Saturday 11th May. Yesterday I received an email from The Spotted Cow advising me that I could not be accommodated and my booking was cancelled!! There was no explanation in the email why the booking was cancelled or what had happened to... More

We visited "The Spotted" for a second time today and once again had a lovely lunch. The Turkey from the carvery was delicious as were the vegetables. The hubby had Steak and ale pie which he thought was great. I have read reviews about unfriendly and rude staff but I have to disagree. Both times we had fantastic service from... More

I mean how can you review a B&B if you've not actually stayed? Let me explain further. A room was booked four days in advance on the Spotted Cow's own website. Payment was taken by Enviivo on the day. Email confirmation of the booking was received by the merchant (Enviivo) with a check in time of 17:00. All good so... More

We had a great Saturday night meal here. The food was excellent and service was fine. 4 Starters & mains plus 2 bottles of Red = £100. My lamb just feel off the bone. Not your usual frozen veg either. We must visit our friends more often so we have an excuse to come to the Spotted Cow.

The Spotted cow is situated in a lovely area with good access to Derbyshire. The rooms were clean, large and nicely decorated. However it was freezing, I spent the evening huddled around two portable heaters squinting at a very small television. The pub is closed in a Monday so unless you bring rations you will go hungry!! Saying that it... More

The Sunday carvery is okay priced for the portion of meat available, the veg was great but the potatoes advertised as roasties where brown coloured boiled potatoes. We also had a lasagne which was a small portion with very hard oven like chips overall disappointing. Mushroom risotto for £10 is shocking for the quality. As for the deserts three balls... More

Nice place to have a good Sunday carvery at the right price.good selection of meat and veg,the gravy was spot on as well.also a decent pint of larger. Easy to get to with ample car parking plenty of tables to choose from.they even have a nice seating area if you have to wait... Staff are nice as well...

After hearing an advert on the local radio about the spotted cow being "under new management", we decided to treat my in-laws to a carvery. On first impression, this quaint little country pub was a real heart warmer. After being served our drinks at the bar we were shown to our table in good time. If you are wishing to... More
