The Strutt Arms

The hotel is situated in the perfect area for local sights such as heights of Abraham and other peak district activities. There is ample parking on site and a kids park 10 mins walk away if needed. The bar/ restaurant is decorated to a high standard and very inviting. There are quiz nights, music nights and happy hour until 6pm. If you want a quiet evening there is seats out the way if needed. The rooms are decorated well and have all the facilities required. Only thing to note is a couple of the fixtures just need tightening but other than that a beautiful room which is very cosy, relaxing and perfect for rest. I booked for our 2 year old which said there was a infant bed upon request. This didn't happen which I assume was a miscommunication on the app. Luckily I brought my own travel cot anyway. We ate in the restaurant which is good price,decent portions and cooked well and authentic Indian. They were very accommodating for our child giving him colouring, some milk for bed time, high chair and overall kindness. Slept well however heating was on which made it a bit hot in the morning. Breakfast was amazing (hot breakfast wednesday- Friday) and continental the other days. Overall perfect little family break away and amazing for the cost. Would recommend and likely stay again if we visit the peak district again.

Lovely old building, and decorated nicely The afternoon we got there somebody was trying to get into our room, I shouted that I was getting changed don’t come in, what did they want?, When I got to the door nobody was there, first night we got there we ate at the restaurant I had the burger, One mouthful is all I ate, drenched in a liquid type cheese, Very salty throughout, the patty, the bacon, I couldn’t pick it up because there was just too much cheese, The waitress asked what was wrong and I explained and she said she would tell The chef, My husbands pizza was nice though, I decided to order a pudding as I was hungry, It came out practically stone cold, The replacement wasn’t much better, I gave up and left it, My husband paid the bill and they charged us for the meal I didn’t eat, he explained and she said she wasn’t told, we didn’t want to cause a scene, We went for breakfast and it was children’s cereals and pastries that were very dry, I tried some toast but the butter wasn’t very nice unfortunately, I asked for decaf coffee as I have a heart condition, I even checked with her that it was definitely decaf, It wasn’t as I was very unwell with palpitations a short while after on our walk, We didn’t eat here again, worst bit however was Saturday afternoon one of the staff coming into our room, I was having a nap and my husband was about to have a shower so was near naked, Her excuse for coming in we’re a farce I was very uncomfortable after
