Excellent food. Very comfortable bed. Shower head had a leak but was replaced very promptly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only slight criticism would be that it was a bit messy near the bedrooms. ##### Andrew ### 2/10 Terrible #### Colin 8 Sept 2025 We recieved an email from the hotel just after the free cancelation window ended, notifying us of additional charges for extra beds that we weren't expecting and that were not on our initial confirmation email after booking. Would recommend that the hotel sends out any emails with additional charge notifications within the cancelation window to give customers the opportunity to understand the full cost of their stay before they are locked in. We ended up booking another hotel for the night and losing the cost of this booking because requests made to the hotel for a refund were denied. ##### Colin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 26 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Night away Very clean, tidy, comfortable and spacious accommodation. Lovely to have somewhere to sit and watch a film rather than only a bed so definitely worth paying a little extra. ##### James Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 28 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Booked this at the last minute and it was a great choice. Struggled to find it on a dark and rainy night because it’s part of the Dragon pub and I couldn’t find a sign for the cottage! Parking was quite busy but still found a space. Much better than the drab budget hotels in Derby. ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louisa 18 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Exactly what we needed ##### Louisa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful room - vv comfortable We didn’t have enough towels- 1 set for 2 Lovely breakfast - delicious Some Staff need a bit more training but they were trying ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alister 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous! Great find! Lovely location right on the waterside. Modern, clean, comfortable. The pub is great, dinner was good, breakfast was excellent. Staff are all very friendly. I'll definitely stay again! ##### Alister Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esther 21 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good value ##### Esther Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### ANDREW 25 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was really well decorated and clean as it has just recently been upgraded and was beautifully decorated inside. Unfortunately there has been no sound proofing in the property, so the noise from The upstairs apartment and people leaving the pub was very off putting. We have stayed at The Dragon on numerous occasions, but this will be our last time booking in here. ##### ANDREW Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short break for Download festival. We came for 4 days to go to Download festival and it was perfect. The staff are all lovely.. especially Emma! Always helpful, even leaving out cardboard for our extremely muddy boots. The walk along the canal is beautiful too. Highly recommend this place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### beverley 8 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great little find clean and fresh. I thought breakfast was included but this is additional cost in pub next door.
