Disliked: Room comfort
Staff were friendly and attentive. The room was very well presented, just a shame that there was no aiir conditioning which resulted in the room being excessively hot until almost midnight. The room was positioned above a kitchen door which kept banging shut till late and again from the beginning of breakfast which resonated up through the floor and onto the bed. Good room, terrible/ little sleep.

Not their fault, but the room was very hot. The kitchen fans were just outside the room and they stayed on all night. They were clearly understaffed for dinner in the evening and the breakfast menu online didn’t really make sense. However the staff were all really lovely and the surrounding areas were fantastic and worth a visit.

Warm welcome rooms and people
We chose the G&C for an overnight stay after a day at Chatsworth House, due to its location and proximity to the house. The welcome was bright and warm, just like the rooms. The rooms were spacious and modern, well decorated and clean, with comfy beds and great facilities. Tea and coffee were good and the bathrooms were clean and tidy. We chose to take breakfast and dinner in the bar. The breakfast was lovely and set us up for our journey. The dinner the night before was a touch disappointing. The veggie sausage and mash used the same cheap vegan sausage used for the breakfast, which we're not appropriate for a hearty evening meal. This is not the fault of the chef or pub team but a poor choice by the menu development chef at head office. Other than suggesting you look a little further afield for dinner, I'd recommend the G&C for a short stay in the Derbyshire Dales. The team made us feel welcome here.

Can’t fault it!
Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Let’s be realistic, fifty eight quid a night is not gonna get you the Ritz. It’s clean, it’s warm, it’s comfortable, Bed really comfy and you are above an absolutely charming public house with a lovely welcoming feel and country style. Drinks priced as normal pubs. Staff are great and the breakfast was perfect. Parking no problem. What more could you ask for. Defo go again. Yea we’re happy. If I have one complaint (being a beggar for disliking things not in line) the toilet seat was not in line with the pot. I soon sorted that out. If that’s all I have to ‘Grouse’ about it can’t be bad!! Thanks Grouse & Claret for a good stay. Will be back Andy & Anne

Great location for visiting many lovely properties, towns and villages. Lived up to its description for accommodation which was extremely welcome. Lovely room, bathroom and comfy bed with well sourced comfort tray. All the staff we came into contact with were very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend this Marston’s Inn and will be making it our go to place to stay when in the area. Arriving in Derbyshire day 1 afternoon visited Hardwick Hall. Day 2 at Chatsworth Xmas (10 mins away) day 3 morning Hadden Hall Xmas (5 mins away) before heading for home.

Great place to stay for bakewell and Chatsworth
A nice pub with plenty of parking. Beer garden looked good too. On first night we went to the cinema in Chesterfield. We got back at 10.30pm and pub had decided to close early. They let us buy a bottle though and take it to our room. Room was clean, comfortable, and very large bathroom. Everyone there were also really friendly. Pub is a 20 min walk from a great curry place too. Place itself is 10 mins drive from bakewell and Chatsworth house. Would recommend this place and would go back.

Lovely stay
Arrived on a Tuesday midafternoon had to wait a little to register in, but after tha all was fine. Our room was on the front but was fine very little noise. Plenty of plug sockets most also had charge point's made a pleasant chage. Bathroom was clean and tidy as was our room. There were 3 EV charges in the car park nice to see. We had meals both nights we stayed, had a good menu. Both meals where tasty and hot. Staff were welcoming, polite and easy to talk too. All in all goog value for money would stay again.
