What guests think

Across the reviews, The Horse & Jockey stands out for spacious modern rooms, strong value for money, easy parking, a convenient base for exploring the Peak District, and quiet village surroundings.

Rooms are often described as very clean and surprisingly quiet for accommodation above a lively pub. Breakfast and pub meals draw frequent praise for quality and portion size, though there are isolated complaints about coffee or tea service and limited gluten-free options. Service is friendly and attentive overall, with occasional reports of slow service, a chaotic check-in, or noise when events are held. Expect a comfortable stay with popular dining in a village pub setting.

We stayed here for 1 night whilst touring the peak district on our motorbikes. Plenty of parking and security cameras to ensure a good night's sleep. Our room was very comfortable and decorated to a high standard. The shower was big with great water pressure. We had an evening meal which we would rate as excellent, plenty of very friendly staff and a short wait for our food. Breakfast the next morning was plentiful and varied. We tried the Porky Hash which was huge! We would definitely recommend a stay here... we will be back

We had a meal in the restaurant which was really nice and not to expensive, the restaurant itself had good atmosphere. would defiantly recommend a stay here.

We had a one night stay in room 101. A nice large bedroom, but right above the function room and back door, and just our luck to pick the one night they had someones birthday party on! Breakfast was average. Asked for poached egg on toast and got boiled eggs on bread (one item cooked to much and the other not cooked enough).

Cheerful staff, clean room, good service, Wi-Fi reception is very poor around whole building, took 5 hours until we eventually got connected. Hotel does not offer Any gluten free options for breakfast, no cereals no toast, but to be fair the Jockey Breakfast was superb, overall my stay was disappointing.
