One night stay, room(plum porter) much bigger than photos , clean comfy and in keeping with the building. Staff very friendly, beer spot on food good. We didn't want breakfast as we were going for lunch, just. Suited us. Lovely little village, church peaceful, sound of the bells chiming, like going back in time. Nothing we didn't like, beautiful hanging baskets, beer terrace, a very popular, dog friendly pub, thanks.

A lovely place to stay in Ashover. Staff were kind and friendly and the accomodation is quiet and comfortable, if a little lacking in detailed maintenance in places. But despite that, I should be happy to return in the future

The Old Poets Corner is perfect for a one night stay. It's in a quiet rural location but it was a travel stop for us. Rooms are clean and quiet, named after beers and you get complimentary beer in the room. Bathrooms are dated but clean.

A great country pub to stay in!

Really good, and great value. Lovely setting, and great views from the pub garden and terrace. Good base for walks into Derbyshire, and great beers. Rooms are all themed to different Titanic beers, which is really quirky and nicely done. I was in Steerage, and the only negative comment was the very noisy water pump that goes off intermittently once or twice and hour through the night. Once you get used to the sound it was okay, but it does shock you a bit at first. If they could sort that, it would be great. Staff were welcoming and lovely. A hidden gem.

I have never been treated so poorly as at this hotel. Upon arrival staff were generally unwelcoming, just gave me my key and that was that. Later I came down to request milk for my room, the person I spoke with audibly sighed and huffed and puffed to go get it. Upon return he said there was no milk. I expressed my disappointment as I really wanted a cuppa (having been hiking all day). Walked off expressing disappointment to myself to which he then shouted WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! I carried on walking as his voice was very intimidating to which he further shouted across the pub in front of diners SAY WHAT YOUR SAYING TO MY FACE! I was forced to address him to say all I was saying to myself was my disappointment and that he shouldn't be speaking with a paying customer at his hotel in such a way. Went to my room and barricaded myself in. Felt so uncomfortable there I got up early and left so I wouldn't have to see him again. As a solo female traveller he may me feel very intimidated. Completely unacceptable behaviour. It's a shame as the room itself was fairly nice and comfortable with nice views.

Beautiful building, shame about the rest

Bedroom was clean and functional. Shower had engrained mould in the tiles. We were not told beforehand that there was a singer (of sorts) playing ruined any chance of an early night. Free wifi, was none functional. Food arrived within minutes and was poor. Were told we could order breakfast then text at midnight to say we couldnt.

Improve how you speak to customers

Pros- good location, good size room with really comfortable bed. Good value for money. Cons- initial room was right above the loudest part of the pub so I asked if there were similar rooms available in a quieter location. The manager - Andy - so rude. Actually stunned by his treatment of me. Made what should have been a simple room swap really heated. I eventually got to change rooms and I'm so glad I did- the second room was ideal. But having Andy speak to me the way he did put me off staying again and I've told local friends my story so they're aware. Such a shame - as a paying customer I expected much better.

The room was clean, Staff excellent, Bar fully stocked, Wifi good. Room was very small 10foot wide 20foot long, bed very soft, no good for people with back problems. Advertised as B&B cleaner had to get manager in to do breakfast which was basically a bacon sandwich. No breakfast the following day even though it was the chef who let us out of building!
