Great short break location
Pros:

Friendly, accommodating staff.
Large room, good air con.
Easy parking.
Small village location within easy access to Peak District & Matlock Bath.
Quiet - even though it's above a pub and we visited during the World Cup!
Great breakfast menu & buffet

Cons:

Cheap toilet roll!
The toilet flush was difficult to use (very stiff)
Without the air con, the room was always very hot and stuffy.
No "Do Not Disturb" hanger.

Ideal place to stay in the Peak District.
Pros:

We visited the Horse and Jockey for an overnight stay in the Peak District. Away from the main attractions, the price matched our budget and turned out to be excellent value for money. Ample free parking . Our double room was very large, modern and spotlessly clean, with welcome air conditioning (it was 28C outside!) , tea/coffee, tv, wi-fi and basic toiletries. Obviously, the rooms seem to have been recently refurbished. Our friends 'single' room was actually a good sized double. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, despite a well attended England match in the main bar and outside seating area. Breakfast was delicious, cooked to order and all served by friendly, efficient staff. Overall, a perfect, budget friendly hotel for a weekend away or business trip.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

good
Cons:

Good breakfast but the tea/coffee provision was very poor. Expect proper coffee or a teapot to make tea in, not a small cup with instant coffee or a tea bag.

Enjoyed our stay in this facility and will recommend to others.
Pros:

The room was great, large, well appointed and comfortable with an equally attractive, very clean ensuite. All the furnishings of a high grade quality

Cons:

Not much of a view over looking a housing estate and a flat roof. The dining are we were directed was at a basement level with no phone signal (some might prefer this lol)
