At The Fountain Tea Rooms B&B, guests consistently praise the friendly, welcoming staff, tasty cooked breakfasts served in the tearoom downstairs, and the quiet Bonsall village location that works well for exploring Matlock, Cromford, and the Peak District.
Rooms are generally clean, comfortable and sometimes spacious with large en-suites and thoughtful touches like cafetières. Common drawbacks include steep stairs and internal steps that affect mobility, on-street parking, occasional noise between rooms, a few mattress comfort issues, and non-smart or hard-to-cast TVs. Overall, expect a cosy village base ideal for walkers and nearby sightseeing.

We found the Fountain a quirky B&B which actually provide breakfast! Our room was a reasonable size with 2 single beds with a view over the fountain. The room was clean and beds comfortable although the stairs up to the room were quite steep and narrow so we left our luggage in the car and only took what was needed for the one night stay. We had trouble with the shower and would rate this as average.

Convenient position, great cooked breakfast, walking distance to 2 pubs. Only downside, ensuite is 8 inches lower than room and quiet a step down, need to be careful at night.

Fountain Inn was very easy to find, parking was on the road but was easy to find a space nearby. Very quaint small village. Be aware if you arrive late afternoon there is nowhere other than the pub to get anything. The pub is friendly, food ok & at a reasonable price. Tea room was not open on the Monday when we arrived but instructions on how to get to our room were very easy to follow. Our room was the double & was nice, comfortable bed & very large en-suite. Breakfast in the morning was in the tea room downstairs, you pick what you would like from the menu, did not have a long wait & was nicely cooked.

Cannot comment about food or bed comfort as we decided not to stay. At 10.30 in the evening when our adjoining room occupants returned, we could hear every word they were saying! It did not feel very private! We chose the Fountain Tea Rooms because of the good reviews, however, it is on a busy Road junction with a fair amount of traffic and we were also concerned about leaving our car on the road or in the village car park. We booked for 2 nights but no offer of a refund for at least one night. Disappointing.

The room is immaculate, there are nice touches like ground coffee and a french press, first time I have had this even in £500+ a night rooms. There is plenty of free parking on the street outside. The only thing to be mindful of is that there is a big step both into the room and the bathroom for those with reduced mobility like myself - this is in addition to the 6 steps i was aware of. There is no aircon or fan so we opened the bedroom and bathroom windows and it was fine. Old school air con! We couldn't connect to the TV with our phones for netflix etc, however in the end we had a quiet night, which was much more relaxing and enjoyable. So this is not a bad thing, switch off, relax and reconnect. Enjoy a quiet country walk instead or chat to your loved one! I highly recommend the local pubs, especially the Barley Mow but please book if you want one of their amazing pies. Real cider to die for! Breakfast is between 8am and 11am (checkout time) and this is served in the tea rooms below. There is a good menu and you can get a full english (both vegan and non), or granola if you prefer. Plenty of teas or coffees to choose from. I had the small breakfast plus black pudding and it was more than sufficient, the full breakfast would set you up for a full day's walking without any problem. Staff were very friendly and coffee nice and strong. Having reserved tables was also a bonus. Overall, I would recommend.

It’s a pretty village. This property not too good for anyone with mobility issues. Steep slope to the entrance door, accommodation on first floor and step into the bathroom. Rooms a bit cramped but clean, very good freshly cooked breakfast. Can recommend The Boat in Cromford for great evening meals and friendly service.

We visited Chatsworth house which was only about 1/2 hour away.The TV was not a smart TV. Not an issue for us but not so good if netflix etc important to you. Good pub grub at the Kings Head pub, just 5 mins walk away. Big portions though. Could have shared a meal. The attached tea room is where you have your breakfast. Lots of choice - Full breakfast was just the ticket for me. Vegetarian option also available. Personally if we went again I'd get there for 2pm and have one of the many homemade cakes for sale with a cup of tea in the tea room to settle in. I think it closes about 4pm Nice to have private bath and separate shower. Overall, really enjoyed everything. Thanks to the owner

Beautiful bedroom furniture, plenty of tea, de-caffeinated coffee and a cafetière too. Biscuits were lovely. The only minor thing is the mattress was a little less than good. Bathroom great, super clean. View out of the front, beautiful. Sash window could open at least half so lovely fresh air. Breakfast was gorgeous and thoroughly enjoyed. Super super will definitely be back.

We booked both the rooms so it felt a bit like our own unit to ourselves. The instructions for our arrival were clear, and it was easy to park outside. The rooms are lovely and the bathroom is really well appointed, but we would have liked some hooks to hang the towels and/or any wet clothes, or instructions for the heated towel rail - yes, it rains in Derbyshire! There are lovely walks right from the doorstep, and Bonsall is really near to Cromford and Wirksworth (where we were attending a wedding) as well as Matlock Bath. The village is quiet (this is a positive for us!) and everyone we met was really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast in the popular tearoom downstairs was delightful :) Would recommend.

Owners couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. They went the extra mile to ensure we were warm and cosy as snow fell outside! Wonderfully tasty breakfast

Exceeded our expectations, location perfect and accommodation had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Loved having breakfast in the tearoom down stairs and the ladies who served us were lovely, friendly and helpful. Our only disappointment was that we stayed Monday night and missed being able to eat in the tearoom as it is closed Mondays. Would certainly hope to visit again and stay longer.

Ideal location for exploring the Peak District. Lovely quiet pretty little village. The room is above a fabulous cafe where the food was great and the staff were so helpful and informative, they gave us some great tips on where to visit. Highly recommend this place and the cafe.

We booked both the rooms so it felt a bit like our own unit to ourselves. The instructions for our arrival were clear, and it was easy to park outside. The rooms are lovely and the bathroom is really well appointed, but we would have liked some hooks to hang the towels and/or any wet clothes, or instructions for the heated towel rail - yes, it rains in Derbyshire! There are lovely walks right from the doorstep, and Bonsall is really near to Cromford and Wirksworth (where we were attending a wedding) as well as Matlock Bath. The village is quiet (this is a positive for us!) and everyone we met was really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast in the popular tearoom downstairs was delightful :) Would recommend.

Dining
Breakfast in the downstairs tea room is widely praised for quality, generous portions and good choice, including vegetarian and vegan options. Isolated negatives include a limited selection on one occasion and the tearoom being closed on Mondays for other meals.

Bonsall is a lovely quiet backwater village. Have wanted to spend time here for a while. The Fountain B & B fitted the bill perfectly. Excellent on all counts. The full English breakfast was particularly splendid. Owner really friendly and helpful. Have booked to stay again in a couple of weeks time. Would highly recommend.

Fountain Inn was very easy to find, parking was on the road but was easy to find a space nearby. Very quaint small village. Be aware if you arrive late afternoon there is nowhere other than the pub to get anything. The pub is friendly, food ok & at a reasonable price. Tea room was not open on the Monday when we arrived but instructions on how to get to our room were very easy to follow. Our room was the double & was nice, comfortable bed & very large en-suite. Breakfast in the morning was in the tea room downstairs, you pick what you would like from the menu, did not have a long wait & was nicely cooked.

The room is immaculate, there are nice touches like ground coffee and a french press, first time I have had this even in £500+ a night rooms. There is plenty of free parking on the street outside. The only thing to be mindful of is that there is a big step both into the room and the bathroom for those with reduced mobility like myself - this is in addition to the 6 steps i was aware of. There is no aircon or fan so we opened the bedroom and bathroom windows and it was fine. Old school air con! We couldn't connect to the TV with our phones for netflix etc, however in the end we had a quiet night, which was much more relaxing and enjoyable. So this is not a bad thing, switch off, relax and reconnect. Enjoy a quiet country walk instead or chat to your loved one! I highly recommend the local pubs, especially the Barley Mow but please book if you want one of their amazing pies. Real cider to die for! Breakfast is between 8am and 11am (checkout time) and this is served in the tea rooms below. There is a good menu and you can get a full english (both vegan and non), or granola if you prefer. Plenty of teas or coffees to choose from. I had the small breakfast plus black pudding and it was more than sufficient, the full breakfast would set you up for a full day's walking without any problem. Staff were very friendly and coffee nice and strong. Having reserved tables was also a bonus. Overall, I would recommend.
