Check in was very smooth, friendly and professional and the room was everything you can hope for: clean, comfortable and warm. My only comment would be that breakfast should be included for the price

The Cottage is a great place to stay and the Dragon is an excellent pub to have a few drinks and had excellent food. The staff are both friendly and professional.

Fabulous staff. Excellent food. Very comfortable bed. Shower head had a leak but was replaced very promptly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only slight criticism would be that it was a bit messy near the bedrooms.

Booked this at the last minute and it was a great choice. Struggled to find it on a dark and rainy night because it’s part of the Dragon pub and I couldn’t find a sign for the cottage! Parking was quite busy but still found a space.
Much better than the drab budget hotels in Derby.

Night away
Very clean, tidy, comfortable and spacious accommodation. Lovely to have somewhere to sit and watch a film rather than only a bed so definitely worth paying a little extra.

Short break for Download festival.
We came for 4 days to go to Download festival and it was perfect. The staff are all lovely.. especially Emma! Always helpful, even leaving out cardboard for our extremely muddy boots. The walk along the canal is beautiful too. Highly recommend this place.

Friendly, well set-up and comfortable.
The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was great and they'd kindly set it up for our kids to have their own beds. Really clean and well provisioned. The bed was gigantic. A little hard (for us), but hundreds of cushions and we were very comfy in our room. We'd be very happy to stay again.

The room and pub were lovely, could fault the staff who were all wonderful.
However we both had a steak in the pub restaurant and it was tasty but very very tough which spoilt our meal.
Apart from that I would recommend for a nights stay.

Comfortable stay
Lovely room at a great local gastro pub/restaurant. Room was a bit cool (end of the cold snap) and no individual room thermostat but otherwise ok. Bottled water would have been a nice option.

The room was pleasant but i could hear the neighbouring occupant.
The outside is currently a building site, not a problem but less welcoming.
