Staff helpful, evening meal very nice.
Although oldish building clean.
Easy drive into Chesterfield or Matlock.
One night stay, room(plum porter) much bigger than photos , clean comfy and in keeping with the building. Staff very friendly, beer spot on food good. We didn't want breakfast as we were going for lunch, just. Suited us. Lovely little village, church peaceful, sound of the bells chiming, like going back in time. Nothing we didn't like, beautiful hanging baskets, beer terrace, a very popular, dog friendly pub, thanks.
The Old Poets Corner is a lovely pub in a perfect location. Lots of real ales on tap, walking trails on the doorstep and a lovely village to explore. Lovely cafe (that doubles as a post office) 5 mins round the corner. 2 other pubs on the doorstep. Views are amazing.
We had a lovely welcome from the staff, the food was excellent and David really looked after us in the mornings. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would highly recommend staying here.
Staff were friendly and made everything easy. Food was great too. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A lovely place to stay in Ashover. Staff were kind and friendly and the accomodation is quiet and comfortable, if a little lacking in detailed maintenance in places. But despite that, I should be happy to return in the future
very helpful staff, great selection of beers. food good and plenty of it. beautiful place to stay. i try to always stay here now when I am working in the area.

Great Little Stay
Quick overnight stay with my wife and dog. Decent food and drink in a pleasant environment. The building is great! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was nice and comfortable.
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.
Really good, and great value. Lovely setting, and great views from the pub garden and terrace. Good base for walks into Derbyshire, and great beers. Rooms are all themed to different Titanic beers, which is really quirky and nicely done. I was in Steerage, and the only negative comment was the very noisy water pump that goes off intermittently once or twice and hour through the night. Once you get used to the sound it was okay, but it does shock you a bit at first. If they could sort that, it would be great. Staff were welcoming and lovely. A hidden gem.
Lovely staff and tasty food, nice room although due to being above the pub noisy in the evenings. Mattress too soft and bouncy for my liking. No shop in the lical area
Bedroom was clean and functional. Shower had engrained mould in the tiles. We were not told beforehand that there was a singer (of sorts) playing ruined any chance of an early night. Free wifi, was none functional. Food arrived within minutes and was poor. Were told we could order breakfast then text at midnight to say we couldnt.

I have never been treated so poorly as at this hotel. Upon arrival staff were generally unwelcoming, just gave me my key and that was that. Later I came down to request milk for my room, the person I spoke with audibly sighed and huffed and puffed to go get it. Upon return he said there was no milk. I expressed my disappointment as I really wanted a cuppa (having been hiking all day). Walked off expressing disappointment to myself to which he then shouted WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! I carried on walking as his voice was very intimidating to which he further shouted across the pub in front of diners SAY WHAT YOUR SAYING TO MY FACE! I was forced to address him to say all I was saying to myself was my disappointment and that he shouldn't be speaking with a paying customer at his hotel in such a way. Went to my room and barricaded myself in. Felt so uncomfortable there I got up early and left so I wouldn't have to see him again. As a solo female traveller he may me feel very intimidated. Completely unacceptable behaviour.
It's a shame as the room itself was fairly nice and comfortable with nice views.
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.
Is what it is, a room above a pub. Could do with a refresh and an update. Room wasn’t clean and the bed was quite uncomfortable. Annoyingly the local church bell rings on the hour every hour, so not a peaceful night sleep. Food menu was okay however half of it was sold out. Worked for what we needed as a stay, roof over head and somewhere to sleep for 1 night. Recommend if your looking for a cheap stay south of the Peak District with convenient walks and connections to other villages and towns within 10-30 minute.
