It’s a really nice place. A couple of open fires, wood and coal to keep the place warm, and the place is candle lit in the evening / nights. Atmosphere is spot on. They have great a food and real ale / ciders selection section. The bear Tapas is also fun if you can’t decide and you get a little... More

A lovely welcoming pub with roaring fires, its own beer and great pub food, including speciality sausages and a super hot chilli. We have eaten here three times in recent years and never been disappointed. The rooms were comfortable and breakfast of good quality.

Very enjoyable two-night break at this traditional vilage pub. Comfortable, clean, well-furnished rooms, coupled with friendly, helpful staff, good food and an excellent range of own-brewed and guest real ales, make this an ideal stopping off point for a relaxing break. Handy base for exploring other Derbyshire attractions such as Matlock, Chatsworth House etc. An added bonus is the three... More

I read about the Old Poets' Corner in a Camra book who recommended it because of its great food and wide cider selection. I can vouch for both of the above points. I had a stew and it was terrific. They also offered a wide range of ales and ciders which could simply put into shame any West Country pub!... More

Last stayed here 5 years ago. And wish I had not left it so long for my return visit. 9 real ales including the amazing oakham citra. Fantastic food, atmosphere and live music. What more could you want from a pub? Well done all round
