The Boot Inn

This fabulous eatery with rooms in the ancient village of Repton is very special. We have stayed here and eaten breakfasts, brunches, lunches and dinners many times. It is exceptional. The picture of The Boot on Trip Advisor does not do it justice. 1. The service is always excellent. The staff remember you and seem genuinely pleased to see you again - nothing is too much trouble. 2. The recently renovated rooms are quite beautiful and luxurious. 3. The food, no matter what time of day, is exceptionally well prepared and presented. 4. Finally, the wine list. The Boot serve fabulous wines by the glass. No need to buy a bottle to cover all courses, tastes and then match the food - which never works. They use a wine preserving system, so the wine does not go off. Fabulous! It is also an opportunity to try wines that by the bottle may be expensive. In case you didn’t realise, we love The Boot. 4.

Breakfast at The Boot - Wow - would highly recommend, lovely coffee, tasty sausage and mushrooms, staff are very helpful and polite - my friend had a lovely time as this is not a local place to her 😊 - the eggs went down a treat and we have now booked in for Mother’s Day ♥️

My wife and I had booked a deluxe room as a post Christmas treat. We were shown to room 5, a delightfully spacious room which appeared to have been newly decorated. Unfortunately the room seemed very cold on entry and the gentleman who showed us to the room assured us the heating would kick in shortly. It did come on but not sufficiently enough for the size of room, especially as it was -2 outside. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant downstairs but upon entering our room afterwards discovered the heating had gone off. There was a small plug in heater provided which we made use of but this did little to heat the room. After getting into bed we then discovered the TV had so much interference, it was unwatchable. It seems a shame that these issues tainted what could have been a lovely stay.
