The Greyhound Hotel Cromford

Hotel guest should have priority parking space

Good stay for short break Nice pub hotel staff really friendly food very good

Has potential to be a great place to stay Arrived at 8.20pm after travelling all day to be told the kitchen was closed. After a brief discussion was advised chef "could" make me a salad. The pub itself had plenty of diners, still eating, and much to my annoyance, after delivery of a very nice salad, I heard the team offering diners desserts and puddings after they'd finished their meals, so kitchen clearly wasn't closed. Also advertised in the bedrooms that the pub served food until 9pm! If the restaurant planned to close early, at the very least, I would have expected a call or message to ask if I intended to eat, as I would have been very happy to order ahead! After dumping my bags in my rooms, eating salad and headed back upstairs (no offer of desserts or coffee as kitchen had clearly had enough!) I was very disappointed with my room, given the superb rating, (and one of my primary reasons for booking!).. The bedroom was nice, decor good, bathroom ok. Both room and bathroom were chilly, no heat from the radiators. But the biggest turn off were the abundance of spiders, a massive spider in the bathroom, lots of spiders around the window sills of both bedroom and bathroom and lots of cobwebs. My sense is that the room had been cleaned, probably days before, had stood vacant and hadn't been checked for my arrival which was a real shame as the bed linen smelt pretty fusty too. The sheets and pillows were clean. Old building with lots of potential, just a shame as first impressions last!
