A stay in Wirksworth
Pros:

Situated right in the middle of Wirksworth
Friendly staff
V good gluten free bread for breakfast
Provided early continental breakfast night before as had to be at a meeting early
Comfortable bed and excellent shower
Lots of character

Cons:

Parking is very tricky as market place car park gets full during the day - just be warned!
Full English cooked breakfast wasn't good ( cheap poor quality ingredients- partner , who works in catering had it one morning, my avo and poached eggs were fine) also coffee not great
Bed not made, bins not emptied ( which was more critical as we'd had a picnic supper the first night!) lighting not good in bedroom for reading, make up etc-. A light by the mirror would have helped! ( bathroom mirror steamed up so you couldn't see into it after a shower!)

Would highly recommend.
Pros:

I'm so glad we found this delightful place. It's a beautiful building full of charm and character. The staff are all absolutely fantastic and the manager Jacob couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. The bed was so comfy we didn't want to get up for breakfast but it was definitely worth it. The full English was delicious and the evening menu definitely didn't disappoint either. The food and service was exceptional. The whole place is spotless and the beer garden is nicely set out to relax in the sun or shelter from the rain in comfort. There were ear plugs in the room in case passing traffic was noisy but we didn't hear anything to disturb us. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again and would highly recommend it.

Cons:

Nothing.

Totally destroyed & ruined our experience.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Access after it closed was impossible due to a faulty lock on access gate - hence we could not gain access, no one available on given telephone number so ended up calling a relative to drive 25 miles to collect us and they put us up for the night. Hotel would not give refund !!!

Please be aware of this issue if booking?
