What’s the point of having a menu. We chose to come here due to the lovely sounding veg options for the carvery but our of the 14 options on the menu, 9 weren’t on offer and we were told they wouldn’t be until February in some cases (4 months away). The pathetic options that were available were overcooked or badly prepared, such as the over boiled carrots or the cauliflower cheese that had never seen cheese in its life. The kids couldn’t even eat their burgers. Do you know how bad a cheese burger has to be for a 7 year old not to eat it? Do yourself a favour and just go to McDonald’s round the corner.

Visited family in the area and it was convenient to stay at a hotel locally. This hotel is a lovely place, rooms are clean and serviced daily. Tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily too. All staff are cheerful and helpful, they make you feel very welcome. Food was ok, we only had a sandwich but no complaints. We will return when we are in the area again.

Had a superb afternoon. All the staff were incredibly welcoming and the service was faultless. Went for a meal and a family get together. The food was superb and had a really relaxing afternoon. Couldn’t fault anything about the Blue Jay and really looking forward to our next visit

Over night Business trip Value is exceptional Carvery was a little sad and not very warm, the beef was dry Waited an age for breakfast despite only 4 people, sausages were deep fried…… However the worst point the trip reeked of smoke in the bathroom

Had their fish sandwich, which was bad. But the macaroni and cheese were out of a box. If I wanted that, I'd stay home. And they charge more if you pay with credit card which is done alot up there.

Rooms are very clean and cleaning staff are amazing, compassionate, caring and hard working! Landlord and restaurant staff are lovely too. Breakfast is great, just needs to be more consistent with the quality of the cooking of it. The burger meal I had was lovely, definitely would have that again! The area is peaceful and a hidden jem five minutes away over the road is pebble beach lovely for a picnic, just don't forget some bug spray!

Booked a family room for a weekend stay as we was visiting the area. Room was ample size and clean. plenty of towels, pillows etc. My only criticism would be the hanging space. we wasn't able to hang things properly as it had a shelf under hangers. if you had a dress to hang forget it. only other storage was the shelf under hanging area. would of loved a drawer or two. Bathroom with shower over bath was very nice to have choice. only body wash and hand soap is supplied, not a problem for me but worth noting. In general the hotel was kept nice and was fairly quite. Nice to have pub serving food next door( done separate review) and also Mc Donalds should you want it. Ample parking

A really good value hotel - clean and with everything you would expect. Friendly staff and an easy check in. A much better (and probably cheaper) alternative to travelodge or holiday inn Express. We will stay here again each time we are in derby.

Nice and quiet being opposite the pub, excellent WiFi, nice size TV, heating excellent in the cold weather while we were there, excellent bed. Now the two things which took the edge off it for us. First, the pillows which were foam and far too thick. Just one lifted my head higher than the two I sleep with at home. Secondly, it's the bath with a shower over it. Hate them! Getting on in years I find it getting more diificult to climb into the bath and then stand on a slippery surface to shower. It's this last downside which means we'll have to seek an alternative place to stay, with a walk-in shower, now that our daughter is living in Derby.

What a great small bar restaurant. The place is very clean and the food was great. Went because of Friday fish fry. The fish ,fries, cole slaw all excellent. Waitress very nice. We also had the shrimp basket. To my surprise about 14 fantail shrimp. The prices very reasonable. Would recommend this place to anyone. Can't wait to go back .
