The Greyhound Hotel Cromford

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The location is right in the centre of Cromford. The food is really good and served in generous portions. As soon as you enter the hotel you cannot help being charmed. The rooms are, what I consider, classic British style. The beds are incredibly soft and well made up. This is really good after a whole day of hiking. The hotel was a guest house in the 1800’s so has a historic feel to it. Which I love. In one word: perfect.

We stayed 2 nights Tuesday & Wednesday, we were unaware that there was no food served on Mondays and Tuesdays until we received an email the day before we were due to arrive and also that the Hotel was locked at 10pm Sundays to Thursdays, not just doors locked but the bar was also closed! If we had known this we would not have booked. The room was ok but a bit dusty we stayed in the 4 poster bedroom which was also a bit cold so we turned up the radiators, being February I would have thought that the heating would have been on before our arrival. There was very good food and real ales available at the pub round the corner, The Boat and the two chip shops were also shut on Tuesday so we were very glad that the Boat was open. Although we did not eat at the hotel in the evenings the full English breakfast was very good, warm plates, not greasy and good quality ingredients. Also good real ales were available. We would also like thank Jordan the Duty Manager who was very helpful and polite. The website really needs updating as the extensive Gin Bar was not that extensive and the bar snacks advertised on the bar were not available either. Also we noticed that the hotel website does not have any reviews? Its a very lovely building but some attention to detail is needed in regards as advertising and some dusting wouldn't go amiss!

Lovely hotel with a great frontage, adequate parking, pleasant rooms, very nice fois and drink and friendly staff. Definitely recommend the stay. Only regret is that it was only for one night!

I’ve debated & debated over reviewing this hotel & how to rate it? I’ve given 3, as the staff, service, food & drinks were excellent! However, my room was not good. It’s a beautiful old building, with soo much character. Living & working in old buildings, I can fully appreciate that certain things like dust or the odd damp patch, can’t be helped. I’m also not too concerned with decor. I’m on a break away, so I intend to be out & about, not sat in my room. But I do expect a certain level of cleanliness. On this occasion, this was severely lacking, to the point that I physically couldn’t bring myself to use the shower. The shower head & hose were caked with black mould, which actually flaked off when moved. This is was quite obviously not a one off, it had been missed during cleaning for a while. I did mention this to the manager, upon check out for the benefit of the next guest. However on returning home, I emailed the proprietor to personally complain and give him the opportunity to rectify , but I haven’t received a reply.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. A great base to explore the surrounding area and walks. Twin Room very comfortable with lovely bathroom. Great breakfast with lots of choice, very generous. Staff and Host very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. There were lots of little extras in our room and at breakfast which were most welcome. A lovely 2 night stay.

A tired looking hotel with a bit a damp in the room. Bed was very soft so no good for a bad back. No heating so the whole hotel was really cold.

Food was incredible, host was very welcoming, great location and nice big rooms

We enjoyed our 1 night stay at this hotel. The staff were particularly welcoming and attentive, especially the owner. We were upgraded to a family room with a larger bathroom and more bedroom space. We ate there that night. The meal was good, home-made, filling food and very reasonably priced. Parking was tricky, but we managed to move the car after a while.

Clearly under new management, and missing a little a**osphere in an area where character offerings abound, huge room well turned out, with good standards, but an empty restaurant and no customers, lead us to eat elsewhere, sadly on the first morning we were informed there was no chef for breakfast, but we were sincerely apologised to, and handsomely compensated, with a little attention to details will make a good venue.
