The Bear Inn

The friendliness, skills and politeness of the staff were most welcome. The surroundings are so peaceful; the furnishings and interiors appropriate. The food and drinks menus perfectly adequate for our needs. The four of us enjoyed our dinner and breakfast dish selections and the drinks ranges and value for money.

Sunday Dinner was Cold, a weird taste to the roast potatoes. Beef looked like ham and sliced so thin it was tasteless. Gravy runny and tasteless. Staff not very friendly either. Would not recommend!! So sad to see a once thriving business go so down.

Very disappointed with the food,although tasty, it was like warm.Served with small square fried potatoes, not as described on the menu.Disappointing for my birthday meal.😪

Great stay in a charming, quaint Inn. There was a good selection of food on the menu and the food was genuinely exceptional. The breakfast cooked by Jadie was one of the best we have had, perfectly cooked and great ingredients. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was lovely, comfortable and very clean. Big car park and extensive garden area with great views. Would definitely stay again.

Just had an excellent 3 nights staying at the Bear Inn. All the staff were really friendly. We had breakfasts and evening meals and couldn’t fault anything. Food was absolutely brilliant, freshly cooked and plentiful, the breakfast especially sets you up for the day ahead. This was the third time we’d stayed at the Bear since last October and it didn’t disappoint. We will certainly go back.

The pillows and mattresses are great quality. Good night sleep every night. Rooms are uniquely designed and homely. Chris was especially responsive to both my needs and my friends. His staff are very friendly and courteous. I had the fish and chips on our first night and was pleasantly surprised of the size and quality of the meal. Definitely worth the price. The pub is situated in the middle of local farms and has surreal views sunrise/sunset. Close enough to town if you want to go to the shops but far away enough you have the peace and quiet of the night.

The cleanest, loveliest place I’ve ever stayed, Chris is the most amazing host and the rest of the staff are just at great! Food is unreal, breakfast, lunch or dinner, would defo return! Love the decor, place, vibe, everything! Lovely visit to Derbyshire

We booked last minute for a Sunday dinner, the booking was a good experience. We arrived and we were disappointed from the moment we walked in, the place was dirty with awful decor. We were taken to our seat which was in a back room which the other tables had large groups on, who were loud . The room was cold the fire was not lit and there was no radiator 🥶 we asked to move and they said yes but still delivered our lunch then said we could move, we had to walk through with our lunch in hand!!! Yes the table was better. The lunch was cold and swimming in gravy. The cauliflower chesse was then delivered which was like bubbling and lava yet under cooked. The service was slow, with a couldn’t care, less attitude. an experience and I just wouldn’t recommend, we certainly won’t be returning.

Stayed here recently on a short family break, visiting relatives in the area. After a slight technical hitch, things just got better. Monday night is quiz night, so that brings a few local characters in. We stayed in one of the self-contained cottages allocated to guests with pets. With four of us & a dog, it was a bit tight for space with limited comfortable seating. We were on the B&B rate, so we only had the occasional hot drink from the tea & coffee provided. There is a hob & fridge should you want to do your own cooking. We booked a table on Monday night (while the quiz was on), which was excellent. Food was piping hot & fresh as the flowers in the garden, a great pub to eat in. Breakfast each morning was 1st class, with everything from full english to eggs benedict freshly cooked & again piping hot. The staff are brilliant, and nothing was a bother to them, going out there way to accommodate us on several occassions. The views are spectacular from the location, and the cottages & beer garden benefit from this. No hesitation in recommending the Bear Inn for a stay, its cuisine, wonderful views, or just enjoy a drink in an inn full of history and charachter. No question, we will be back next time we're in the area.
