Grouse & Claret, Derby by Marston's Inns

We booked here on a whim when we decided to stay a further night in Derbyshire. The pub itself is nice with a small beer garden at the rear. The common areas of the hotel though were pretty worn especially around our room (number1). The room itself was small but clean, as was the bathroom. The issue for us was the heat. There’s no air con but the room (I think) is above or near the kitchen so when we’re shown the room, on not a particularly hot day, it was uncomfortably hot. The windows were already open but this means that you get noise from the kitchen and the noise of the air/con or extractors of the kitchen/ beer cellar which were switching on and off throughout the night. We did have a fan in the room which we had on most if the night but again it was pretty noisy. Not too sure about the other rooms, but situated where it is, room one could do with air con. The food and drinks were fine , standard chain pub fare. The hotel is well situated between Matlock and Bakewell on the edge of the Peak District

Lack of aircon a real problem.No provision to charge goods and services to room most unhelpful.More staff like Tom would make a big difference

Location brilliant very friendly staff room okay mattress was one of the best we have slept in

We enjoyed our stay everyone was so helpful .bed was very comfortable .room was adequate.breakfast was very good. Would go again .

Staying to attend a party in the local village . Have stayed here many times for business and it has always been first class. Food is excellent the steak and lamb pies are to die for.

The bathrooms are tired and alrhough the linens and towels were clean the room and bathroom had not been very well cleaned. I’m not looking for dirt but the dog paw on the mirror opened the door to suspicion really - we didn’t have a dog with us. Despite that the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. I’d like to say this is great value for money but the clean staff need some supervision. Thank you everyone else.

We had a 3 day break mountain bike around the area of Bakewell and the accommodation was an ideal location

Nice comfy room we was in room 3 and found road noise quite loud

Nice room and bathroom, friendly staff and good breakfast. EV charging and fridge for guests were great touches. Great value

All good except TV in room 2. Husband needs subtitles to watch, hearing lose/ stroke. Couldn’t find anywhere in settings. I did ask for help and told someone would look at it. No one came back to me and it was just the same following day.
