The Greyhound Cromford in Derbyshire Dales

Easy walking distance from Cromford Mills, this pub has an excellent menu and serves food all day. We arrived early afternoon for a late lunch, were greeted promptly at the bar, bought drinks on a tab, given menus, advised about table service and allowed to pick our own table – all simple things but so often ignored or badly performed. We tried the steak from the fixed price lunch menu and pie of the day from the main lunch menu. Both were excellent as was the service throughout our stay. We even left a tip – not common for travellers from Australia on a budget. Recommended.

We decided to eat at the Greyhound after visiting the Cromford Mill and learning about the history of the Greyhound Hotel which was built by Sir Richard Arkwright as a place for his guests to stay in the 18th Century. It was early evening so the restaurant was not too busy. We had choice of areas to eat and chose the dining room. The menu had a good variety and I chose the Steak and Ale pie. My husband had the chicken curry. Both were that day's specials. The portions were excellent and the pie was one of the best I have had - the pastry just melted as you ate. The staff were friendly and helpful. All in all a lovely meal!

Myself and my partner have had a few days away staying in Cromford and visited the Greyhound twice for food and drinks. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the lovely food and helpful staff members- we recommend the pizza which is cooked in an authentic pizza oven. The addition of the games available to play were a great too- plenty to choose from- cards, chess, jenga and more! Overall a lovely friendly pub to visit.

The greyhound was a lovely old building the room we were in was large a lovely shower, staff are very friendly food was very yummy great portions. Lots of different areas to sit at the bar, very clean 👌 and great atmosphere would definitely recommend

Called in for a couple of beers, good beer, everyone was friendly. Can recommend.

Very tasty food. Nice atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Allowed to bring the dog.

Stopped after walk for drink and monster munch. Seems half decent pub. They also sell cake. Had a Guinness and partner had Pepsi max. If in Cromford check it out.

Worth a visit with good service and a delicious and wide ranging menu, including a kids menu. Also a selection of real ales. Be aware that the parking isnt only out front by small parade of shops, but also to the rear. It is quite expensive however which is why it loses a mark.

We were staying in the area and were recommended this pub for a meal. We had been for a drink the day before. No table service at all (which is strange as the pub wasn’t that busy), and had to queue at the bar for a long time. I think the only time I have ever queued that long and had such slow service is at an extremely crowded bar in London. The young servers behind the bar clearly did not want to be there, serve anyone and we actually found them dismissive and quite rude. The roast was a waste of money in my opinion. The meat speaks for itself (this was the lamb shoulder - various people commented on the style of this. It looked and tasted like something out of a tin). We asked the waitress what this was, and she sort of laughed and went in to ask the chef. We still don’t quite know what it was. The vegetables honestly felt like they were microwaved from a packet. I am not a gravy person but had to pour it all over my plate to get any flavour. The general dinner menu looks really good, so maybe this would have been a better option (maybe this isn’t a roast place!) but I did find the whole ordeal a bit bland and cold.

After a 3-hour walk, we hoped for a good meal at The Gray Hound, but it was a nightmare. We stood at the bar for 15 minutes to get served—no table service at all. Then we waited a ridiculous 55 minutes for our food, which was horrendous—cold, bland, and not remotely worth the wait. To top it off, we were charged an outrageous £27 for one meal and one drink. I’ll be sharing pictures to prove this place deserves only 1 star. Avoid it at all costs!

The service was good, but the food was very poor. The gammon was clearly reheated, but staff said it was freshly cooked that morning. The meat was so dry it was like straw. I'm definitely not returning. Overall, it was disappointing.

Truly awful. Vegetarian option was inedible. Salmon meal swimming in some kind of oil. Service was appalling, staff don't know how to smile or engage with customers. Went to an ice cream parlour for dessert.

Unfortunately the wood fire pizzas were disappointing not any flavour and bland tasting cheese. £90 for 4 of us and drinks we were very disappointed not good value at all

On holiday for a week in Cromford with family. Ate here twice as a group of nine. Excellent service. Children’s menu good; steak cooked to perfection (medium rare and well seasoned). Would highly recommend the ‘pie of the day’ and also had a personally made cocktail which was lovely. Service was friendly but not imposing and staff also helped with information on local services. Lovely experience. 10/10

Good clean rooms in a great location with wonderful staff. Had dinner and breakfast there and neither disappointed. Friendly atmosphere and good value for money in a central location.

I visited yesterday evening with friends. There was a good choice on the menu. The very young staff members were working very hard without support from older management. There had been two events on in the town and we think additional staff should have been factored in. Unfortunately, two thirds of our order was forgotten so the people who ordered burgers received and ate their meal before the pizzas arrived. Then one of our pizzas was sent to the wrong table. Due to having to leave we cancelled that pizza and asked for a refund. The “lady” who gave us a refund was extremely rude and did not apologise for the mix up or offer any compensation. The young lads who had been very apologetic for the mistake they had made apologised again as we left whereas the “lady” ignored us. The food was excellent and the service of the younger staff was also very good. It’s a shame your more mature member of staff let the whole experience down.

My family fell in love with this establishment and the wonderful village of Cromford. We wish we had spent more days in this area exploring all the other beautiful places close by. The owners were so helpful and the food was excellent. Their room prices and pub prices are very reasonable. We had the only family room, our teenager was delighted with the separate room to at they stepped down into, it was very cozy.

We booked a table for 4 people for Sunday lunch at 4.30pm.we we're told that food service ended at 6pm. Menus were brought to the table and the waitress informed us that they had run out of Yorkshire puddings!. A bit disappointing. We waited for someone to take our order to be told that we needed to order at the bar. As there were no Yorkshire puddings I asked if we could have cauliflower cheese instead which wasn't a problem. Our meals came small portions no stuffing certainly not worth £18.50. We felt that they gave us what they had got left, 2 roast potatoes no mash. We certainly wouldn't recommend this.

Went for a meal. On the 27.07.24 . 4 of us were only given 2 menus. Asked what drinks we wanted while sat down but no drinks menu. So went to the bar myself. Ordered a £25 lamb meal was brought what can only be described as a measly bit of tough tasting meat and a bit of mash potato. With a teaspoon of non tasting sauce. I think they think they are a bling bling restaurant. Think they should just stick to pub grub and sort there prices out for what you get is terrible

Myself & my husband & our dog.had a few days at the greyhound.we had a fantastic time.we were made so welcome.the staff were brillant .the breakfast & the food was excellent. Will definitely be going again soon.& would certainly recommend staying.

Really great Pizzas in their own pizza oven. Others also loved the home made pies.

We didn’t stay in any rooms and came only for food. The previous owners, whilst charging high prices for food, always delivered excellent food and service. This has now changed, there is no table service now, you have to join a long queue at the bar. There were only 2 staff in the bar which was completely inadequate for the amount of customers in the pub although they were friendly. The food quality was not great and pretty tasteless which is a shame as before it was one of the nicest places to eat in the area.

Had dinner at the greyhound on a night where co2 cylinder had a fit! Staff couldn't be more than nicer in keeping us safe and happy while keeping calm themselves Food was fabulous and enjoyed the evening can't wait to visit again!

The new owners have only taken over in the last few weeks. They are working so hard to make sure your stay is a good experience. Certainly deserve to be a success. Rooms good (ish) , food superb service excellent. Would encourage anyone to patronise.

Just popped in for a break from a ride out with my motorbike and I was warmly greeted and served a lovely cup of coffee with a piece of cake and was made welcome while I relaxed.

We visited for dinner, as there are new owners, warm and welcoming, nice food and a decent pint, we worth a visit.

Stayed previously before new owners and was fantastic. I am hoping they are just finding their feet as this is a lovely hotel and location . The room a was clean and tidy however was up a number of flights of stairs and small for 2 adults and a dog also the glass window looking into the bathroom from the bedroom is a little bizarre. So there was no privacy Breakfast was nice, a point would probably be have bacon and not the thick steak as it was extremely fatty and couldn’t be eaten. Which wasn’t included in the price of the stay. It wasn’t mentioned at the time as the dining area was busy When checking out we weren’t asked how our stay had been and would have highlighted the above points then. The stay wasn’t particularly cheap and was for a birthday break. So quite disappointing I hope this review comes across as constructive as stated it’s a lovely hotel and may just be settling down time

Really good Sunday lunch at the Greyhound, nice portion size and reasonably priced. A great place to watch the football unfortunately Arsenal lost but the lunch was still excellent! Only slight downside were the number of children running about the place, who appeared to belong to the staff working there!

Popped in for a quick pit stop after a 4 mile hike on the High Peak Trail with the muts 🐕 Decent boozer, had a carnivore stone baked pizza, washed down with a pint of shandy. Decent bit of grub, hats off to the chef 👨‍🍳

Food was great and such good value. Very welcoming even though we had got a bit dirty on the high peak trail

Went in for a drink one lunch time . Met with a lovey member of staff at the bar who went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Drinks were reasonably priced and a good selection, sat outside in the beer garden taking in the sun . All round good service , and when I left I thanked the lovely lady behind the bar for her attentive service . I asked her name , So thanks again to Debs .

Only live ten minutes away so thought we would go and check out The Greyhound as had seen it was under new management. Came with the intention of a few drinks and ordering food. Just my opinion but… walked in and were met with children in the bar area at 6pm. These were not seated eating, just wondering around and calling out for parents. Now this is just not for me, I am not a fan of children in a bar area when there are other places they could be sat out of the way. We ordered drinks at the bar, no issues there though my wine could have been better chilled but we were not asked if we would like to see a menu to try to up sell food. Salt, pepper and vinegar on the tables but no menus on there? Perhaps there was no food available or they were fully booked for food? Unlikely though as only half a dozen people in there during our visit. We chose to sit where we have sat for years, where the Chesterfield sofas are located but I have to say the absolutely huge tv on the wall, a discarded pushchair and a broken wingback chair in the corner just made me feel a little bit sad. I fully understand the new management taking the opportunity to get customers in by showing sport especially now there is no Bell just up the hill who used to provide this. But… no music to create any atmosphere or cover the noise of children, just men on the tv programme talking about the golf?? Can’t the tv screen be on but only with sound when relevant? Bar staff or manage t need to read the room in these situations. So we didn’t stay to eat, just had one drink and drive up the hill to Wirksworth instead to another one of our ‘local pubs’ will give it a couple of months before we bother again. It’s a shame really as I love the building and where the pub is and over the years have enjoyed some great food here but there was no atmosphere or welcome here which is a shame.

Great pub right in the middle of cromford

We booked a family room for a Sat night. The room was large, with a separate sleeping area for our 15 year old. The room is a little tired, with one of the plug damaged, but it was very clean. Bed was very soft. Nice touch with the chocolates. It was a little noisy as we were above the bar, but this all quietened down after closing time and didn't really disturb us. The breakfast was very good and served quickly. Would stay again.

Appreciate that the pub was busy but the service was exceptionally slow . We were served pints in dirty glasses so that was profit poured down the drain. Staff need to be trained to deliver the service that this beautiful establishment deserves . We are locals who are happy to return if you just pay more attention to the details and deliver good service

Stayed for one night with friends. Not impressed at all. Bedding & towels were clean, room needed a lot of tlc. There was a lot to be desired on the cleanliness of both our rooms. The lights in both rooms didn’t work from about 11.30p.m, our friends wasn’t able to shower as there was no window in their bathroom. Breakfast was ok except not offered more coffee as only one cup. Tea we had a pot so did get two cups. We did tell a member of staff about the lights he said they keep tripping & waiting an electrician.

Decided to come here for Friday night dinner as I wasn’t in the mood the cook & I know it has recently changed hands so I was curious. It’s such a wonderful building with great history and deserves to be enjoyed. Inside looked very similar with the addition of the huge flat screen for sports they are now showing. It had more of a pub feel than before. It is a big space & in my opinion lacks atmosphere…maybe not when the football is on. Upon arrival, I advised I booked a table for two & was then pointed to a couple of different areas & told to choose a table, we were brought menus & told to order at the bar. I ordered the jerk chicken burger & my partner ordered the Cromford burger, I ordered half a bass & some water, he a glass of red. It was a good bass but no water. Our food didn’t take long to arrive & looked ok, the coleslaw was very mayo -y which I’m not a huge fan of so didn’t eat much. I stole an onion ring off my partner as they looked awesome & tasted great great., the chips were good and burger buns. The sauce in my burger was nice but I didn’t get any jerk seasoning on my chicken. It was almost a plain chicken breast cooked & plonked into the bun. I took it out & shredded it but there was no real flavour sadly so I tried to add the sauce to it. My partner said his burger was good but as the mushroom was grilled (I assume as it held water) as soon as he bit into it, it just oozed water, which wasn’t pleasant in a bun. The onion rings were amazing, the burger was a little over done but good quality. Food was ok, as was the service, a bit mixed & inconsistent across the staff members. I am local so will return.

Slightly apprehensive to eat here as the female bar staff seem so new and unprepared/inexperienced (not a criticism - we were aware the restaurant hadnt long reopened). However, the bar accepted us as a late entrance for food (7.30 arrival). Given until 7.45 to order, which was ample time. We saw some delicious food served to other tables whilst we waited. We decided on the burgers. They were cooked to perfection. Homemade coleslaw, chunky chips and sweet potato fries were the same standard. Definitely recommend eating here.

Popped in for lunch. Open and spacious with a good seating plan. Tasty food, well presented at reasonable prices. Excellent draught beer. Overall - what's not to like?

I understand that this venue is under new managment so I feel that I need to be both constructive but also point out whats going very wrong here.My family of 4 booked for dinner - were seated and drinks and order taken. Our meals arrived and I can only say that the lasange was burnt to a crisp.Black in fact, the chicken and chirizo was very overcooked and a mass of cheese was used on the pizza. My scampi was hot but the chips and mushy peas were stone cold. Going back to the lasange. I asked for the top to be removed and was told it was being re-cooked. OK the other 3 start our mediocre food. The lasange never arrives. 2 our party have to leave as we had tickets to an event nearby. 2 stayed. We sit for over 25 mins with on one coming over to see us then the waitress/manager (not really sure what her role was). She asked has it not arrived?- obviously not. By this time as you can imagine I was getting quite annoyed. 2 things....1. Everyone understands that things can and do go wrong but please keep your customers informed (this saves alot of stress on both sides) and 2. If you are just starting a new venture slim it right back and make sure you can deliver what you are actually selling and ensure that product is of a very high standard as your prices are not cheap. Also just not charging us for a meal which never arrived is very poor customer service.Reverse the roles and think again what might have been acceptable to you. £64 is not great value for rubbish food and very sub standard service.By the way my daugther left without a meal and I have to go back home to make her a sandwich before we joined our family.Not the lovely evening meal we had planned.Maybe just keep this to a bar only.Sadly the worse place I have ever been.

We went to The Greyhound last night, to be welcomed by the new Landlord to celebrate Matt and myself being together ❤ for 5 years. The meal was outstanding and good value for money, we will be definately booking again in the very near future.

Rooms are very dated I had no towels on arrival could do with a chair at the dressing table, no iron in the room, the flush on the toilet gets stuck, menu is OK but not the best pie was OK but not enough mash and veg. breakfast was good apart from cold beans and eggs very greasey, went out and when I came back there was a lot if mess outside my door really needed hoovering up but was just left cleaning products left in my room not great if you had young children, room was spacious, t.v signal is rubbish had to watch it on my phone overall I nice stay just few few things needing attention, I know ownership has just changed so hopefully they will look I to this.

Called for Sunday lunch ,great they had a table and we were told there could be a wait for food as they had a party of 11 in .Ordered the beef ,turkey and a lamb ,each meal arrived cold ,the beef wasn’t edable it was cold and raw,turkey was ok but the lamb didn’t even look like meat it was like a patty,we did mention that the meals were cold but there was oh I’m sorry and nothing else ,for £19 a meal it was a poor experience

Thankyou very much for an excellent stay.

Went here on a weekend away in Matlock and it was one of the best home cooked Sunday lunches I’ve ever had. Lovely venue, great service and exceptionally good value. Highly recommend.

This hotel bar and ", restaurant" took a booking without information which included no food. Not even breakfast and charged 190 for just bed , one person two nights . I was the only guest staying because our boiler had broken down and I needed a warm room and a bath. I was the only guest. Only told no food when I arrived . Was told the heating had been put on in the room half an hour beforehand. I seriously doubted this it was cold. No hot water from the bath taps, had to put clothes back on and go downstairs to be shown I had to run the hot tap first in the sink. Excuse "this is an old property". The general shabbiness of the carpets and decor gave that away. Door to my "upgraded" room wouldn't close (door hinges), In the end it was so bad I checked out the same evening - this was met with "so what have you used in the room?" (Does it matter, they were getting paid for full use of it- I explained I'd only used the bathroom. The proprietor despite having been fully paid appeared most put out that I was leaving almost immediately.. I felt uncomfortable by his attitude and made excuses, said nothing wrong with the room (there was) but I just wanted to get out of there In my opinion the reviews I saw near such little resemblance to my experience I question their sources. I'm writing this to seriously dissuade anyone from staying here - it's expensive to the point of feeling ripped off really.

Rather a strange atmosphere , at times felt like an intruder! quite honestly didn't feel comfortable. Food was reasonable but took ages to come and most of my party complained about the lack of heat. A place to avoid in the winter!Tak

Very welcoming lovely food and attentive service. Millpond room was comfortable and warm. Fabulous on suite and lovely comfortable bed. Close to stairs towards back of hotel but quiet. Can't wait to visit again.

My wife and i stayed for 3 nights very pleasant on arrival even got upgrade on our room for free. Evening meal well I had the pie and must stay it was the best steak pie I've ever had was filled from top to bottom with filling 10/10

Whilst staying in a holiday property in Matlock Bath, we booked Sunday lunch at The Greyhound. We pre-ordered our food which was delicious, but did take a little time to arrive. There was also quite a long delay between our mains and desserts as well,...

Arrived for drinks and food. Online stated food served. Arrived no food. Asked for a glass of Chardonnay.. they didn’t have any.. settled for pinot was awful, asked for a bitter shandy served half a lager as the poor lad behind the bar didn’t have...

Had Sunday lunch here with 21 friends, pre booked, and the food was fabulous. They replenished anything we ran out of very quickly and the service was great. We really enjoyed our afternoon here and left feeling we’d had a really lovely meal. Thank you to all the staff.

Visited for dinner on Friday evening. Table reserved and welcomed our 4 dogs. Good choice and everyone please with their food in our group.We were staying in cromford so easy to walk home.

Lovely 😍 hotel 🏨 OMG even 😍 a Lovelya village 😍 Lovely breakfast 😋 But come on £95 for a GREAT night off mine called SIR Richard arkwright bring my tent ⛺️ next time looking forward for DINNER 🍽 ☆☆☆☆☆

Large group booked in for family birthday dinner shown to private room, furniture was in poor condition had to change 2 chairs as they were broken, service was a bit slow despite there were very few customers in the bar. Food was fine and all came at the same time as we had pre ordered, probably choose elsewhere if back in the area next time

We got there late Saturday morning as we wanted to go for a long walk with the dogs. Parking was easy to find outside so we didn’t take up the offer to have our bags put in our room for our return. We booked a...

Lovely historic building and nice welcome, some nice sympathetic choices of renovation by the owners and then others a bit odd e.g. corporate style furniture and bathrooms which is such a shame given the history of the place. They need to get their cleaning consistent....

Despite advertising “serving lunch Monday-Saturday” it does not. Providentially, there is a much nicer place (The Boat) right next door which served 4 of us a faultless pub lunch, in a welcoming atmosphere.

Have been before and left a good review (2022), but drove here today to find bar open but no food whatever. So it’s over: not any kind of hotel at the moment. (They could at least update a website surely?

We didn't stay here, we came here for lunch and excitedly ordered two of the Warm Butternut Squash, Toasted Seeds & Quinoa Salads. We asked how large the small and large versions were and told the small was starter size so we went for the large at £14.00 for a main meal. Unfortunately, what came resembled a starter. There must have been minimal preparation for this in the kitchen. About half a dozen cm square pieces of Butternut Squash pan fried, about a table spoon of Quinoa and I was lucky if I found three toasted pine nuts in there, all on top of a straight out of the bag loose leaf salad with half of a loosely chopped baby gem underneath. As a vegetarian I really hate paying prices similar to those of a fully cooked meat dish but the quantity, quality and amount of work gone into the meal is minimal and very poor. Certainly not worth £14 each for a small and poor salad. My wife wouldn't let me say anything at the time as there were people on a nearby table. When we left we had to pop across the road for a snack to eat! Doubt we will choose here again for lunch.

A great location in the heart of Cromford. Room beautiful and equipt with everything you could need for over night stay. Evening meal and breakfast delicious. Made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived will be visiting again.

We have been to this interesting establishment before and enjoyed it but had never eaten. Building is interesting and has some history to it. Four of us had lunch this time, the beers are well kept and were very nice. Food was average to quite...

Excellent lunch. Good veggie/vegan options. Friendly service. But the heating was off & it was cold.

Very disappointed with our lunch. The chicken Caesar sandwiches tasted like tuna. When we queried this with the kitchen they informed us they had made the sauce with anchovies. They obviously hadn’t tasted it as it was vile! Also no mention of it on the...

The food doesn’t really fit in with a gastropub label . Dishes unremarkable and side dishes need to be added. Wine expensive for what you get . Service good with a couple of good local cask beers .

The Greyhound is a lovely hotel in the centre of Cromford. The food and service were excellent. The beef sandwiches were especially good, the beef was tender, tasty and served on a quality bread. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely return....

Absolutely beautiful food, we had pizza and it was well with the half hour wait, we joked ‘have they gone to Italy to get our pizza’ and when it arrived it tasted like they had! Perfect dough, amazing flavour toppings and great side of chips....

Insertion of modern en-suite facilities and tasteful modernisation of the bar and restaurant has preserved the character of this traditional country hotel. The restaurant is worth visiting even if you are staying elsewhere, as the menu is creative and unusual. Staff are uniformly friendly and helpful.

Photos look ok online so thought I'd give it a go rather than booking a chain hotel like the premier inn. Unfortunately looks can be deceptive. ! Food last orders 8pm no exceptions. So I ordered a burger prior to arriving. As I was due to arrive about that time. Costing £16 and was served on a small wooden slab. Just use plates . It fell to pieces and was impossible to eat. 2nd floor room. Cold Tired Dirty red carpet, windows & sills not cleaned, thick dust on many surfaces. Cracked sink. Heating was put on in evening after I complained but it never came on in morning and I woke up cold. Came down for breakfast and the room was cold . Cooked breakfast was good & great sausage. The hotel needs a total refurb top to bottom in reality. However a cleaning blitz and then daily attention to detail in cleaning & a few changes of tired furniture would really help. Shame tbh as I much prefer older hotels.

Friendly welcome and easy checking in. Beautiful room with large, comfortable king size sleigh bed. Room was spacious with views out onto main square. Nice extra touches in room, bottled water, coffee machine, biscuits, crisps and local made chocolates. Breakfast was included, good choice of cereals, toast and cooked options. We opted for the full English and it was delicious. When staying in the area, we would definitely stay here again.

Do not hesitate to visit this delightful place . FANTASTIC FOOD , beautifully served . My husband was saying ‘Mmmmm lovely ‘ throughout the meal … and he does not praise lightly .. GREAT host - attention to detail . Definitely will return .

Great little town and hotel near Matlock Bath and close to transportation and restaurants. Hotel staff was very helpful. Breakfast and evening bar was great

Nice food. Place tries to be posh and the food is lovely but when you have staff with massive love bites it slightly puts you off the expensive pints. Wouldn’t rush back.

Booked here for a three night stay on the basis that Booking.com gave it a 8.2 Very Good assessment. How that rating has been achieved beggars belief. On arrival the place was deserted apart from a man on the phone in the doorway who turned out to be the receptionist: phone call obviously more important than guests. The whole ground floor area has an air of neglect and shabbiness. The carpet on the staircase to the floors above can only be described as filthy. Bedroom absolutely dismal: no charm, tired old furniture and a grubby carpet. New shower room but basin was cracked and mould on the shower mat. Had to wait several minutes for any hot water to appear. Hotel is on a busy road which leads to a quarry. Very large HGVs running by throughout the night. Not the hotel's fault but we could not close the outside sash windows which are encrusted with dirt (there is secondary glazing) to deaden the sound. As a result a very poor nights sleep. Dinner was acceptable but portions rather small for the price. Dining area as dismal and uninviting as the rest of the establishment. Breakfast was okay apart from awful coffee. Finally there are too many 'rules' which are rammed home. There is a 'curfew' during the week on the booking literature of 11pm. However, on arrival we were told that it was 10pm - miss that and you are locked out! What on earth is in the mindset of the management - are they in the hospitality industry or not? Being so disappointed at the depressing accommodation we left after the first night. Never ever done that before. The hotel inhabits a great Georgian building: such a pity that its obvious potential has been ignored. The owners would benefit from a visit by Alex Polizzi, The Hotel Inspector.

My wife and me,my cousin and hubby,brother and wife plus family friend stopped here overnight 2nd Sept, 3 doubles plus a twin room. Grade 2 listed building so don't expect the Ritz etc. Some parts and furnishings need sorting, especially a good clean of every carpet, we all agreed the little things spoiled the finished article, like white paint spashes on black floors, but nothing to put you off,very clean rooms dining and general areas inc, toilets, Beds are soft as are pillows, Parking could be tricky, but re-move if need be later on, Food is on an upmarket menu and definitely cooked to order,as is breakfast. Very good indeed, Check menu on their Web as it might not suit all staying. Very hospitable staff. Price wise £115 per room Inc breakfast plus £20 per night doggie charge as extra. Have no complaints at all stopping here, ideal for Chatsworth house as we had been to the the country show there for 2 days. Total bill £430.00 for 4 rooms b&b, plus 7 meals and bar bill £220.00 Well worth a try,

Couldn’t ask for a more friendly, hospitable host like the owner/manager of The Greyhound Hotel and his lovely staff. Myself, my mum and our dog checked in to be greeted by a lovely barman who was polite and friendly. The dog friendly room was spotless and ideal sized for a 1 night stay for the pair of us and furry companion. Modern bathroom with necessary amenities. Meticulous standards of cleanliness throughout. Bar / restaurant both clean, modern but homely feel with a great stocked bar. Gorgeous breakfast - nothing too much trouble. The hotel is perfectly located, albeit by a busy junction though the noise was excluded perfectly when the windows are closed. We had a short taxi ride to Matlock Bath for evening meal after a long day hiking to see the Black Rock tourist attraction. Hands down, cannot fault the establishment or the hospitality at The Greyhound. We would highly recommend to future visitors and will definitely return! We cannot thank you enough. From Jane, Rhiann & Lexi the dog :)

delicious Sunday lunch of roast turkey, helpful friendly staff and a nice environment, we will definitely be going back.

An awful night's stay Lots of rules if you are staying leave your key when you go out, Sunday to Thurs make sure you are in before we lock you out at 11 Fri and Sat you can stay out until 12. We explained we...

Awful host with appealing manners.. what you see on four in a bed is disgusting and reading the reviews I would rather stay in a tent

We were attending a wedding locally to the pub. The greyhound were very helpful, room was very spacious & clean. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice. Would definitely go back.

Went for an anniversary meal. Nice nibbles and the mains were spot on (one steak, perfectly cooked and one chicken, really tasty). Can recommend the deconstructed cheesecake - absolutely delicious

Excellent service and food at this hotel, lots of character and jolly decent food and service. The rooms were large and comfortable, altogether most enjoyable. Very frIendly and helpful staff.

We had a lovely English Sunday roast here, Julia was really kind and considerate, our little Westie was welcome and the food was delicious with a veggie nut roast especially tasty.

Stayed for a couple of nights with family. Very accommodating and friendly staff. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. The nut roast was delicious. More importantly, they were so accommodating with my fussy son, who does not really like a roast. They did something off of the kids menu for him, even though it was not really available. Really...
