The Bear Inn

View. Dog friendly. Delicious meal. Helpful staff.

The grounds are looking tired and uncared for. We stayed in a cottage. It looks lovely initially but things need fixing. We had no hot water in the morning as there was a problem with the boiler. The fridge needs defrosting and fixing.

The location is quite rural and scenic. The bar area was very pleasant - staff and locals. Lots of free parking spaces.

The pictures on the website do no reflect what we experienced. Entrance not obvious, at the back of the building. Access to room was via steep stairs and the smell and signs of damp was overwhelming. The room itself had an old stylish bed but it was too big for the room. The radiator was very noisy and we needed to switch it off at night. The view from the window was obscured by roof tops. Most concerning was the bathroom, accessed on a lower mezzanine via steep steps with a single handle rail. The waste bin had not been emptied from the previous guests. This was over priced at £170 a night. We had dinner the one night we stayed. The breaded mushrooms although deep fried were still frozen in the middle. The caesar salad had deep fried breaded chicken which was quiet rubbery. Quantity over quality.

Interesting old Inn Good evening meal

The outside and cultivated areas need to be improved A couple of glitches with facilities discussed with management and positive response

First class breakfast

Shower pressure not great

The dog friendly cottage was lovely, views were amazing, staff were very friendly, food was delicious in the restaurant which was a proper country pub. A little in the middle of nowhere but perfect for travelling the Peak District

Nothing

Great cottage with views across to Crich and beyond . Staff were amazing and so was the food ! Would definitely recommend.

Nothing.
