Improve how you speak to customers

Pros- good location, good size room with really comfortable bed. Good value for money. Cons- initial room was right above the loudest part of the pub so I asked if there were similar rooms available in a quieter location. The manager - Andy - so rude. Actually stunned by his treatment of me. Made what should have been a simple room swap really heated. I eventually got to change rooms and I'm so glad I did- the second room was ideal. But having Andy speak to me the way he did put me off staying again and I've told local friends my story so they're aware. Such a shame - as a paying customer I expected much better.

No heating and in need of some repairs!

There was no heating in the bar or the rooms during my stay, because apparently the heating was broke. My colleague had stayed an extra night than me, but the heating was not fixed at all during our stay and no explanation or refund, etc was offered. The bar and rooms were cold (although an electric heater was provided in the room) and everyone in the bar was sitting in coats and hats (never witnessed this previously)! The rooms were ok, but some maintenance is required due to a towel rail hanging off the wall, cold tap was loose, toilet seat was very loose, paint flaking off the bathroom ceiling and the TV signal was weak (pixels at times). Shame really as its a nice building, but just seems to of been left behind with no money spent on it! Big thanks to Martha though as she was very helpful and did seem to care.

Fantastic locals pub with lots of atmosphere, great food. Can't speak highly enough of the village of Ashover, and the surrounding area. The rooms are a little small but its what you expect for a pub of that age. Definately a 5 star stay.

The Old Poets Corner is perfect for a one night stay. It's in a quiet rural location but it was a travel stop for us. Rooms are clean and quiet, named after beers and you get complimentary beer in the room. Bathrooms are dated but clean.

Terrible. Chef has left and someone else is running the kitchen with limited menu. Not that you are told beforehand. Food lukewarm at best. Then told that the 4 rashers of bacon, 4 Harris sausages and watery scrambled eggs cost £20. Maybe just a bad set of circumstances but won't be risking it again.

Short stopover near Chatsworth, the Peak District

We had not stayed at a pub before, but were pleasantly surprised. The room had everything we needed, clean comfortable beds, tea/coffee-making facilities. The bathroom was clean with a welcome hot shower. The breakfast was very good, as was the evening meal we had there. Friendly staff too, willing to answer our questions. We'd have no hesitation booking there again. Please mention that the breakfast is included in the price, as that wasn't clear when we booked.

Free Beer

The hotel is run by the Titanic Brewery. The rather stylish, brewery themed room came with some free beer and, if that's not enough, there are about eight different beers behind the bar at a very reasonable price. Before going to bed, I spent an hour or two having a drink with the locals and the barman and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

It wasn’t the cheapest, but it was a very enjoyable couple of days. The only downside was a rude awakening at 4am, a drunken couple who had forgotten the door code, but the staff were fantastic.

Comfortable room with an excellent bed. Well I liked it but everyone has different tastes. Friendly staff despite the Social Distancing. Food was good at night time and a large breakfast in the morning started the day right. Good choice of excellent beers. I was only there for one night but would gladly have stayed longer.

Staff are lovely but sadly...

Staff are lovely but sadly the room we stayed in wasn’t. The T.V didn’t work, the mattresss were very lumpy/you could feel the springs and whenever you ran the Taps the Bathroom 🚽 it spelt horrid and for £80 a night I’d expect some sort of breakfast 🍳. Like I said that was just our room so don’t let this put you off, views were lovely beers and food were on point and Ashover is a lovely village.

Ok overnight stay

The whole place needs a re vamp. The bedrooms and bathrooms need updating. The bar area needs cleaning and decorating. We paid £91. For a room and breakfast. Not worth it. The breakfast had obviously sat under the heat lamps too long as it had dried up.

Taken for a ride

For£75 we expected some degree of comfort and cleanliness. The staircase had a beautiful carpet but it was filthy. Given all the modern day cleaners available this could easily have been remedied. The room was "quirky" to put it mildly. Bare floorboards and not a rug in sight, no kettle despite the facilities being present and only one chair. No dressing table or similar and a bathroom blind that didn't close properly ...must have given the locals a treat!! On the plus side the beds were comfortable and and food was good. However we did feel we had been over charged.
