The Greyhound Cromford in Derbyshire Dales

Daughter ordered chicken goujons. They were totally inedible and slightly embarrassed that the chef thought acceptable to serve. Oily, dark batter that wasn’t actually attached to the chicken. Even more embarrassed for the waiter who had to serve it. Food all around very poor. Don’t go.

Staff didn't seem bothered, our booked table wasn't ready when we arrived, they didn't actually have the food we ordered, but instead of telling us this they made us wait 1.5 hours until we asked, then made us wait another 0.5 hour. They offered a free round of drink to apologies, I was the designtated driver, so didn't care for this, but I'll let you decide whether that is appropriate compensation. Annoyingly the food was great, I just wouldn't go again unless they sacked and replaced all the staff from that evening.

So disappointed with this place, and one of only two pubs in Cromford (both owned by the same owners) They had run out of draft beer at 7pm on a Saturday night (seriously!) then they ran out of bottled beers half an hour later! Their excuse was “we didn’t expect it to be so busy”. We ordered two pizzas as we could see the pizza oven on display at the end of the bar. Whilst the pizza base was quite nice being done in a proper pizza oven, the ingredients for the toppings was cheap supermarket quality, and the cheese was so think on top it was inedible. It was as if one of the bar staff had just chucked it together and shoved it in the pizza oven. So disappointing. And with both the Greyhound and the Boat being owned by the same people, it will only get worse. No competition low quality. Such a shame for Cromford as it needs a good pub with good grub. Won’t be back.

Lovely pub in a lovely village in the peak district.

Met up with some friends here today for breakfast after hearing good things. It did not disappoint! A great full English breakfast using fresh local ingredients, cooked to perfection! Would definitely recycle and certainly visit again !

Went for lunch and was fitted in on a busy Sunday. We had a Sunday dinner which was nice all around. The food came out extremely quick and was hot enough. Nice environment and friendly staff. 3 roasts and 3 drinks came to £60 or there abouts. Accessibility, the pub is accessible on the same level, one entrance has steps but the other is flat. The disabled toilet however needs some tlc. It was dirty, the toilet roll holder was broken and just left on the floor, and the alarm chord was up in a place that when you sit on the loo it's in your face, and in my experience it got tangled in my hair! I couldn't release the chord so it would be where it should be close to the floor, as they have tied it up near the ceiling. So just be warned, they don't take things like this seriously.

Really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Personal service. Dogs and walkers most welcome. Car park round back.

Sunday dinner at the Greyhound, great location with fabulous food, quick friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Great beer garden 🍺 Amazing service at the bar 🍸 Friendly staff Free parking It's a nice drink after a hike

Brilliant and very polite hosts.

We enjoyed a very good lunch. Two pizzas , including a vegan one, a sandwich with fries ,and that days pie with fries etc which was beef and ale. All freshly cooked and well presented. Drinks were also excellent, as was the service. We will definitely return and will recommend.

We stopped in for tea yesterday evening (26 Feb) with our dog and kids (9&6). Lovely feel as you walk in, warm welcome and helpful staff. Food was fantastic. Our son was asking for sausage and mash which was on the main but not kids menu. I asked if they could do a small portion which was catered to without issue. Food was amazing, don’t think I’ve ever seen a pie so chunky or chips so chunky! The pork and apple burger disappeared in no time! Deserts were enormous, I had the crumble with custard, which was lumpy in all the best ways. Great food and service. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Never stayed the night so i can not comment on the rooms. Lovely service with plenty of choice. Lots of really comfy seats.

Drinks not delivered. Lamb tough veg cold. Mint sauce never arrived after being requested. Very disapointing not recommended

Popped in for lunch after a long walk. Staff very friendly and attentive. Tables were kept very clean. Bit of a wait for the food but it was very nice and good value.

Super dog friendly restaurant/bar!

Not up to previous standards eat there tonight garlic bread the most bland I have ever eaten . Rib eye steak was ok best thing on the plate was the mushroom

Went here on a very chilly day after a big cold 🥶 walk. Staff were very welcoming and even threw some extra firewood on and opened the fire for us to warm up next too. Food is really nice. Had the Sunday roast and lad had fish and chips. Both excellent. Bar man was great and really knew his beers. Loved the decor and feel of the pub. Will 💯 return again when in the area.

The beds were the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in my whole life, people were very blunt and rude. Sausages had no taste and the place had no personality felt like I was visiting my 97 yr old nan. My deceased grandad could clean better (his wife clean for him so he’s never cleaned before)

Breakfast was very chewy and burnt and i asked for beans on toast and only got beans with no toast, there was stains on the bed sheets, the best part was the lovatuon and leaving the hotel, lorrie’s was very noisy and dogs was outside barking very early in morning and staff was very rude

refused me and my friends service due to one of my friends nationality

Only had a snack but lovely food Been a few times and will definitely call again when in area

The logistics and systems here are doing the food a dis-service. Emailed to book a table through the website, after several days, we heard nothing .Had to call them to get the booking sorted, which was fumbled through. Then one day before, we got a call to say they can't have us at 8pm as they stop serving at 7.45pm, unsure why they didn't realise this when we booked. Arrived early to a mostly empty pub,instead of being put in the front area where there are nice tables, for some reason we were put at the very back opposite the loud buzzing fridge, ruining the occasion of any atmosphere. Menus presented, no starters listed. Asked why no starters, were told that there is only soup, but would check with chef. Guy comes back...there is no soup or starters. Ordered mains, and have to say there were superb. Generous portions and top notch. However, no one came over to ask if everything was ok. No dessert menu issued, we weren't asked if we wanted a dessert, or coffee, or any other drinks, or the bill. If we had known that only one course was on offer, we would have gone elsewhere as it was for a special occasion. For dessert instead I had a cocktail.... At last I found somewhere serving Singapore Slings! And it was nothing short of amazing with 4 cherries in it too! It's so frustrating that this place which is doing such great food and cocktails is letting itself down in being totally clueless on how to be run properly, and can't give customers a better experience. It all felt so odd and off. Please sort it out... I want to come back!

My friends & I -plus 1 dog- had been for a walk & were ravenous. We were incredibly lucky to get a table for 5 on such short notice. The staff were very welcoming as was the atmosphere in the pub. The tables & cutlery were all very clean. The Sunday dinner we had was proper 'home made', no cheap pub grub. There was plenty of food on our plates to keep us going for the rest of the day. My only dislike (& my friends) was the nut roast our dinners. It was 😖 awful. The taste was bland & the texture vile and where were the nuts?Please take it off your menu. Some stuffing with a few nuts thrown in would have been better. Another veggie friend had a spicy bean burger which she really enjoyed. The meat eaters were very happy with their pile of gammon. The Yorkshire puddings were divine but more gravy Please. 😋

Just finished lunch at the Greyhound which was awful. We booked a table for a group of 17 and had to pre order. We arrived on time, our food came out promptly but it was cold - cold plates, cold meat, cold potatoes, cold carrots and parsnips and warm gravy. Out of our group I think up to 12, could have been more, had to send our plates back. The additional greens came out, lukewarm, but right most people were at the end of the meal already. The Yorkshire puddings were disgusting, photo included below. I feel sorry for the young staff serving us, they were apologetic and embarrassed but I don’t think we got an apology from the manager who then took over trying get our reheated plates back to us. For a £19 roast lamb, I expected more. The venue has a fire place but it wasn’t lit which could’ve made the place feel more cosy. I would not recommend visiting this venue which is a shame as it has a prime position in Cromford.

Booked in for the Christmas special Menu for a party of 4 . Absolutely lovely food , well cooked and presented. First class service in lovely surroundings.

My friend and I visited today with our two babies for lunch. It's a lovely building and was nice and warm which was very welcome this time of year. The tables were clean and the baby change was clean too which is rare! The gentleman who was behind the bar was very accommodating and attentive. It really struck us both how nice it was to have real service when so many places will leave you chasing them for orders, clearing tables or the bill. He was lovely. The food was delicious - hand made steak and ale pie, hand cut chips and garden peas. The rest of the menu looked tasty too. I don't write many reviews as I think it's a bit pompous but wanted to share what a nice experience it was and to recommend the greyhound hotel to others.

Very disappointing pub with no ambience at all.

Extremely rude unfriendly staff and soulless ‘pub’ took derby match off half way to put on Liverpool

We made a spur of the moment trip to Matlock Bath, as the weather is awful and stayed in a hotel nearby. We chose The Greyhound for food, because when we drove past it, it looked inviting. I'm so glad we had dinner here. It really was top tier and I was blown away with the quality of the food! I had the venison haunch and it was cooked to perfection, with a port jus and garlic mash - comfort food heaven!! The beer was good and the service was top notch too. We only visit Matlock Bath a couple of times per year but I have found our new go to for food and drinks. Thank you to all the staff and our utmost compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice food good service and Debbie was accomadting

Very disappointed with Sunday lunch. Cold and salty veg and mushy meat. Didn't stay for dessert. I wouldn't go again or recommend this place to other people.

3.5*. Appreciated being slotted in at short notice. The pie of the day was excellent, however the plate, peas and mash were cold and I was charged twice for one of the drinks. When paying, I didn't see a choice of adding a custom tip amount, instead being presented with 10% as absolute minimum with higher options available. I did tip as I appreciated the service, but this is not NYC... But the pie really was good so I'd likely go again.

Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay overnight. We had a meal there but it was overpriced. A pizza cost 14.95 each. Not impressed by that. Would be pricey if you have a couple of children too. Wouldn't eat there again. Pub nice for a drink and location good though.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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 .

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.

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...

Booked 4 rooms for friends reunion, all were poor quality, faulty heating, poor wifi, water stained ceilings, shower door fell off, tv didn't work, owner refused any reduction on an over priced rate. Booking.com no help either. Take my advice and stay in the premier...

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...
