The accommodation was just as described and delightful. The hosts were so helpful and friendly. Food was superb. We'll definitely hope to come back here again! ##### S Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff at The Bear Inn are terrific: it’s a family-run business and nothing was too much trouble. You soon will get to know everyone’s name a they will remember yours; it’s the little things that set a small country Inn apart from the bigger and soulless enterprises. Check-in was easy and, although we originally planned to stay for a couple of days, we were made so welcome, decided to stay for two more. Our day always started with an excellent and leisurely breakfast which really set us up for a day of exploring and visiting attractions. There is lots to see and do in the local area; you can dive underground into some of the local guided cave attractions, ride in vintage cars, trams and trains, or fly through the air in a cable car. Back at The Bear Inn and after a full day out, you can wind down with the delights of a superb and varied menu, all washed down with well kept ale. The Bear Inn is a really old coaching house, steeped in history; lots of small rooms with exposed beams and fireplaces, make for a cozy and comfortable place to stay or just eat out. So, the next time we looking for places to stay in Derbyshire, The Bear Inn is right at the top our list. ##### Robin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Neil 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location for a quite evening. On arrival the member of staff was welcoming and showed us to our room. I was a little disappointed as i had called the day before to ask for an upgraded room (willing to pay) was told it was sorted but ended up with standard room. It was clean but small and dont think it was worth the £150 per/night. The food on the evening was very good with big portion and after the starters the main was a challange. I was a little disappointed with seeing staff using vapes whilst in the bar area when guests are told that smoking and vaping is outside only. However overall its a lovely building and our stay was enjoyed. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 13 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great pub and hotel Nice pub and hotel, good food and service.

Nice contry pub, good food, friendly service, the room layout was a bit odd with a huge bathroom housing a bath and a small shower cubicle. The bed seemed to be oddly placed due to it's size and there was no side table due to lack of space, it was however good value. ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stuart 27 Apr 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Turned up, the place was shut! ##### Stuart Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna 22 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous - new management Just stayed one night for my birthday and to explore the area. Really easy to find but out in the lovely quiet countryside. shops only 5 minute drive away. Really lovely friendly and informative welcome from Chris the general manager. Lovely clean accommodation and a fab beer garden to enjoy a drink. Breakfast in the morning was really good and all the staff were lovely. We were limited to a burger menu on Thursday evening but we were more than happy with the food we tried. Outside needed a little Tlc but the new manager has plans for this and are already doing great - I absolutely would stay again as its great for exploring that area. ##### Lorna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### mrs n 26 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The property was good but we were asked to pay for the stay at check in when we had fully paid for our stay when it was booked through Expedia. Hotel told us Expedia will refund us the payment they had collected but we have had to go back and forth between Expedia and the hotel and have been denied the refund. Awful customer service from both the Expedia and the Hotel. ##### mrs n ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 8 Mar 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Joke of a place Went to check in to be told that the hotel should have cancelled my room! They offered my one of their holiday cottages which was a nice cottage but the heating hadn’t been on. By the time I went to bed the room temperature had only reached 13 degrees. The hotel wasn’t even doing food so I had to go out for food. I didn’t dare try ask about breakfast so had to go out and buy this too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Matthew 13 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Chilly, cold and freezing Winter/early Spring clearly isn't the time of year to visit. The room was freezing and the heating didn't improve that situation much. I booked a room with a king-size bed (as I'm 6'4" and need the length), but my wife and I were provided a room with a double bed. The bar downstairs wasn't much warmer and there must have been some supply issues or something as there was a very limited menu. This place may be a lot better for an average visit, but I can't say much for mine and my wife's experience! ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Oct 2022 Liked: Room comfort #### Good pub with rooms We booked a last minute Saturday night stay in a superior room. I paid full price with Hotel.com which in retrospect was about £30 too much, as the room wasn't really very superior, quite small and a missing slat on the bed meant it was a bit lumpy! The bathroom was large but fitted with a tiny shower and small bath which we couldn't really understand (also only got one almost finished loo roll!). However, the hotel's saving grace was the pub and food. We had camembert and fish and chips and both were excellent with good beer and reasonably priced wine. The cooked breakfast was also really well cooked with good quality ingrediants. Dont bother with the continental, it was amusingly bad. The staff were friendly but a bit inefficient. All in all worth a visit for the food and cosy pub atmosphere. I think it probably just needs better management and a bit of TLC ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tom 21 Mar 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Shuts unannounced Turned up to be told the hotel was closed. A man came and unlocked the door to tell me they had closed and I’d get a refund. I’m still waiting for the refund 3 weeks later. It wasn’t explained why the hotel was shut but I did hear a member of staff on the phone outside talking about ‘thick mould all over’, so maybe it was closed for hygiene issues. Looking on the comments on their Facebook page it sounds like closing unannounced/last minute and staffing issues has become a regular occurrence. I’d just like my refund. I had to may double my initial payment to stay somewhere else local. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/424CCA6964CD98EF9E7291B21979CC0F6FCE92CD1679430077474.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tom Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Simon 25 Mar 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Could have so easily been 10/10 The alarm bells should have been ringing when the day before the booking I was contacted by the hotel to tell me that there was an issue with the rooms and that they couldn't do any food. But the offer of being upgraded to a cottage seemed a good alternative which I accepted. It turns out that the cottage is currently the only accommodation available and after speaking to locals I found out why. The land owner purchased the lease off the hotel management team and in the 6 weeks since this has managed to run the business into the ground thanks mainly to sacking experienced staff, staff walkouts and having no business acumen. There is only 1 member of staff who does everything and has to break the news to people who have booked that there is no accommodation or food available. This poor lad made our weekend with his efforts to keep a sinking ship afloat and should a new management team get the lease he'll be a great asset. The locals are a great bunch if you get chance to talk to them in the bar but they don't appreciate how the place is being run into the ground. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 21 Sept 2023 ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 19 Sept 2023 ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue 14 Aug 2023 ##### Sue Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jamie 6 Mar 2023 Disliked: Staff & service ##### Jamie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Annick 4 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Annick Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information) ---
