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!

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.

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 atmosphere 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.

The breakfast was brilliant with lots of choice and very well cooked. We had one evening meal which was also enjoyable. The bar and dining area was comfy and attractive, the bedrooms/bathrooms a little dated but very clean. Unfortunately we had a room at the front and was woken by traffic early both mornings. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay again but ask for a room at the back.

The room wasn’t cleaned to passable standard, layers of dust on the bed frame, behind the bedside table and on the head board. The shower overflowed if you turned it up to high and a leak from the sink appeared on the floor. The staff changed our room which was better. Breakfast was good plenty of variety and Sunday roast small for the cost. Curfew on returning to the hotel in the evening, though this wasn’t an issue for us. Drinks were cheap. Ok for an overnight stay.
