Guest Reviews

• Susan (10/5): Really enjoyable stay & Lovely area to explore. - It was great. Staff wonderful, food great communications excellent, only slight detraction was the room was a tiny bit tired and in the cottage across the road with a bit of a sticky window. However in general terms we live the whole experience and I can’t praise the staff enough. They were brilliant
• Gill (10/5): - Take yourself back in time to an era we all want to recreate away from this troubling world. I was hoping for a spitfire to zoom overhead at anytime. A beautiful location within the Chatsworth estate in old style properties with plenty of character. Just a few steps away is a lovely local pub The Beeley Inn serving delicious food (the ox cheek is to die for,) agreeably it’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. Ideal for a special treat.
• Michele (10/5): - Beeley is a lovely inn in a picturesque village. Great location for Chatsworth and beyond. Staff was friendly and the room was clean and had all the amenities needed and more. Breakfast was very good.
• Antony (6/5): - Overall very good. Lovely place, great parking facilities, clean and comfortable room, lovely pub. Food was delicious but the menu lacked ambition. No much choice so could do better with this. The breakfast however was EPIC. BEST FULL ENGLISH IVE EVER HAD!! As for value for money! Overall it’s not worth it. Belley Inn needs to take a serious look at what it charges per room, not necessarily for the food and wine, but the accommodation is far too expensive and not worth the money. There are dozens of other places close by offering better value for money.
• Allan (8/5): - Passable and decent
• Jason (10/5): - Excellent standard of accommodation, food & service. Would highly recommend.
• Michael (10/5): - Gorgeous little hotel
• Lisa (10/5): - Lovely stay and very cosy
• Beatriz (10/5): Peace, quiet and good food. - Very pleasant and quiet stay. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Fabulous breakfast and food in general.
• Pauline (10/5): Excellent - Loveky pub with rooms in separate house . Very close to chatsworth house . Very dog friendly
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Perfect, excellent location, building, food and the staff were amazing.
• Janet (8/5): Stay at Devonshire Arms Beekey - Excellent stay. Staff excellent apart from one. Our room was above the bar and there was some noise from the bar but it stopped at 10pm so not really a problem. Room excellent, bathroom and toiletries excellent! Breakfast very good apart from the bacon served was streaky bacon. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs excellent. I was charged £180 by Hotels.com but the hotel bill was actually £153.
• Catherine (8/5): - It was unfortunate that we were there after the floods in October. Disappointed to have dinner in the damp feeling bar when the lovely dining room was empty . Why ? Staff were lovely , efficient and a good and reasonable wine list . Great breakfast.
• Jon (10/5): - Lovely hotel with great service and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend
• Neil (10/5): - Great location, easy and convenient parking. Well appointed room, good beer selection and good food.
• Jeffrey (10/5): - Quaint and beautiful place to stay. Great pub/restaurant as well! Highly recommended.
• Christopher (4/5): - Lack of accommodation in main building. Lack of lounge. Unchanging menu. Not value for money
• David (10/5): Recommend - Walked to chatsworth house
• Ian (10/5): First trip to Chatsworth - The hotel was friendly clean and tidy. Didn't like the first room so they changed it without hesitation. Food was extremely good, not cheap by any means but they did deliver on the quality.
• Raymond (10/5): Derbyshire delight. - We had a one night stay in the brookside house next to the hotel, our room was extremely comfortable with King size bed, a nice touch was a box of chocolate cookies with the coffee and tea making facilities. The bathroom was a little quirky the toilet flush took a little getting used to you think it is broken but then decides to flush also the over bath shower had a disconcerting habit of the shower head tapping me on the head now and again. The food could not be faulted for choice or quality and also the extensive wine list. We will definitely return to the hotel. The staff at the hotel were also very professional and friendly nothing was to much trouble for them.
• V (8/5): Delightful place to explore Chatsworth - A very comfortable stay and delightful staff who were extremely helpful. We stayed in a room across the road which was quiet.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing facilities! Very kind staff and excellent care. Will definitely be back
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Utterly romantic village setting - old stone walls, tinkling stream. Good meals in intimate ye olde rooms or in a modern breakfast room. Slightly disappointing when breakfast menu promises Traditional Derbyshire Oatcakes but they had run out of them - I'm always curious to try local things. The building is really old and small, which meant that chatter from the pub rooms and outside table could be heard loudly as we tried to get to sleep ... but that did quieten down after we made a phone call
• david (2/5): poor sleep, no service, no apology. - Hotel room seemed ok on arrival, however cobwebs present and some damp in corner of bathroom. Poor for £220 B+B. Worse to come . Fire alarm at 6.00 am. No one available for advice. As room was in a 2 bed cottage, we had to get dressed and go out in the cold to the main building - this was locked. Eventually alarm stopped but sleep was ruined for myself and wife. No one form the hotel appeared at any time . As a fire marshall at my business this made me wonder if they had a fire policy. I noticed the fire extinguishers had not been serviced recently, and wonder if the fire alarm had also been serviced- this may explain why it went off. After a very average breakfast ( cold coffee - replaced grumpily without an apology ) , my wife decided to complain at reception for having a poor nights sleep. - she could not get back to sleep after the alarm. The only person available ( the hotel does not have a reception - simply someone behind the bar ) gave a 'lame' apology. This was repeated when we were still obviously unhappy. He suggested that the alarm may have gone off due to an 'event' in our room, as if it could be our fault. In fact the alarm was triggered in another room where they were asleep. I would have expected that at a hotel in the Devonshire Group ( I have previously stayed at the hotel in Bolton Abbey) a more genuine, and generous apology would have been made. At over £220 for a bedroom i would have quite honestly have expected a full refund , if not more ..
• judith (10/5): wonderful food - it was everything it should be, super comfortable beds, large room well appointed, with a warm welcome the two managers are outstanding and their staff delightful.
• derek (10/5): Great stay for Chatsworth visit - Very close to Chatsworth. Nice rooms although a little noisy.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel.Warm welcome. Excellent food.Lovely location
• Bailey (6/5): - Initially room was cold and smelled damp. Staff supplied additional heater immediately but condensation in windows remained and was mopped up by towels at base of windows. Quite a bit of mould evident.. General feeling was expensive for B + B and very small room Staff pleasant and accommodating
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Typical English pub Inn, staff are friendly and the room is spacious and clean
• Barry (6/5): Style over Substance - My husband and I stayed here on sunday night as part of a weekend trip away to celebrate his 50th birthday. We had a short wait to be checked in as there was only one member of staff on, but that was ok and we were shown to our room which was across the road from the pub on the ground floor. The room was beautifully decorated and furnished although was rather full of furniture so that there wasn't a lot of room to actually put our bags and move around the room. The bed was obviously 2 singles locked together but it had a hard ridge down the centre of it which was quite uncomfortable. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful warm weather but because the room was on the ground floor opening the window (which was quite difficult as there was a large dressing table and mirror in front of the window) made the room very noisy and obviously for security reasons couldn't be left open. We enquired as to if we could have a fan, but were told all the ones they had were in use, so the room was very very stuffy and hot. We had booked an evening meal in the restaurant and this is where the biggest disappointment came the waitress who served us was miserable, surly and rude. We ordered wine which didn't arrive until half way through our main meal and only because I asked again for it to be brought to us.( the table next to us also had the same happen to them) the food was average my fish was overcooked and my husband who had steak was not offered any condiments to go with his meal.
• sue (10/5): Lovely stay - The staff were lovely and really went an extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.
• Anne Carter (10/5): - Charming inn with hospitable helpful staff
• Mark (10/5): Quaint Pub Hotel - Excellent pub hotel-Food was very good & staff very helpful & pleasant.
• Keith (10/5): Comfortable rural retreat with good food - The hotel is more of a pub with rooms but done to a very high standard. You have the benefit of a traditional rural inn with the comfort of high quality rooms in a separate building. The village location is attractive and quiet but within easy (5 minutes) reach of Bakewell and Chatsworth House. Breakfast was of a high standard with local produce featuring and evening meals were equally good although if on a tight budget they would be a little expensive.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely location close to Chatsworth - Spacious room, great breakfast. Very friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very good area. Good food. Friendly staff Would certainly go again
• 2iclback (8/5): Nice pub/hotel near Chatsworth House - Staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Food was very good (both breakfast and dinner). Room was a bit noisy largely with chatter and laughter until 11:30 p.m. - but it's a pub, so can't complain but after that time it was all very quiet. Bed was quite comfy, shower was excellent, notes on what was complimentary or not plus costs were very useful. Very clean and tidy. Nice restaurant, which is in a separate room from the pub, and pleasantly furnished, tables for two charmingly arranged so you sat adjacent not opposite each other. Be sure which Devonshire Arms you book - confusingly there are 3 in the immediate vicinity - two are part of the Chatsworth Estate I believe - so easy to rock up to the wrong one - as we did. It is well placed for Chatsworth House - it's proximity is the main reason we chose it but be warned - taxis charge from the nearest town, not from the pub so though it is only 1-2miles drive or walk to/from Chatsworth if you are going for a wedding and you are in your finery it'll cost you £10 there and, if evening, £20 back (with the discounted rate) not a fiver each way which is what the distance would suggest. Walking to Chatsworth is only safe across the fields - no footpaths on the twisty roads. Overall, fair to say accommodation is a tad expensive, but the restaurant was good value and staff beyond price!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed for 1 night. Dinner and breakfast were amazing
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very handy for Chatsworth - Our room was in a cottage across the road from the Devonshire Arms. We had booked a suite but I was somewhat underwhelmed by the size of the manin bedroom and the separate living room, which just about had room for a sofa bed (which for some reason had been made up) and a TV. However the decor was good, and everything was spotlessly clean. Wifi however was not good. We enjoyed our dinner at the hotel, and the breakfast was excellent. Staff were all both friendly and efficient.
• Alan (10/5): wonderful - derbyshire at its best - so relaxing and so close to Chatsworth - just what we needed. Great food and local beers.
• Anthony (10/5): Great stay - Really nice stay excellent quality of hotel and bar. breakfast tasty thick bacon and good attention even down to complimentary biscuits in room.
• Stephen (8/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable stay. Excellent food and breakfast
• jean (4/5): Country inn which did not meet expectations - The hotel was cold in all common areas apart from the bedroom. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and acceptable.
• Alan (4/5): Disappointing - Not so good would not recommend this place
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Lovely country inn, great food and very friendly staff.
• laurence (10/5): great atmosphere a place with character.excellent. - very comfortable hotel with a great pub atmosphere. friendly efficient staff and excellent service. lots of character and nice finishing touches in the rooms. Food was 5 star and presented very well.
• Mary (4/5): Overrated hotel - The room allocated was over the bar. There was loud noise until after midnight and staff working from early morning. There was no prior indication of this problem. One of the staff said 'what do you expect if you stay in a pub'! The bed was only small and uncomfortable. There was black mould in the shower. There were serious draughts and the room was cold in spite of the electric radiator being on full. The dinner was adequate but not gourmet fare. The breakfast would have been fine if we had not had to wait over half an hour for the cooked breakfast with at least six tables who arrived after us being served first. There was no acceptance of a serious mistake being made and no apology proffered.. We expected a lot better for the amount paid.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Christmas visit - Great stay with awesome staff who couldn't do enough. Shame about the limited evening menu, food great not much choice
• Evelyn (10/5): - Made to feel very welcome, great Breakfast. Only drawback was a lack of water pressure in the shower
• Alison (10/5): Great restuarant - Lovely stay in the Chatsworth estate , great food and service
• Carol (10/5): Great hotel. I will return - Lovely hotel perfect for a walking holiday in the Derbyshire Dales or a visit to Chatsworth House. Old pub which has been renovated. Room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Bottled water, filter coffee, lovely biscuits and teas in the room. The modern dining room is well done and the food was exceptional. Would definitely stay again.
• Philip (8/5): Lovely place to stay close to Chatsworth - Lovely place in old inn. Staff friendly but somewhat inattentive. Food at dinner very nice but limited menu. Not suitable for repeated dining. Staff friendly and helpful but some training needed to ensure timely service is guven
• Verified traveler (6/5): Did not book at stay in the annex - Having booked at the wonderful old Inn we arrived to find that we were accommodated in the room of a small cottage across the road. No fruit in the room, towels for one person and running to/fro to the hotal made our short stay disappointing. We also booked in their restuarant only to find that we were given a table in the bar area.
• Simon (10/5): - Fantastic hotel. The restaurant and bar is excellent.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel in a quiet village - This was a lovely hotel in a quiet village very close to Chatsworth House. The place is a quick bus ride to the estate and the room was perfect.
