The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained with good decor. The bathroom had a powerful shower and enough room around the basin for your wash bags. Lighting in the bathroom is always an issue for me (!) so as usual I had my mirror on the window sill in search of natural light. We ate in the pub on the first night, sharing a platter. Good menu. My partner sampled the local beer and was pleased he did. Although a full breakfast was on offer we just had a yoghurt & some toast. The toast tasted slightly fish flavoured??? It was a trip visiting family, the location was good and we would stay there again.

I wasn't sure what to expect before I arrived at the Derby Arms but the initial greeting was warm and sincere. My room was delightful, clean and well appointed with a good sized bathroom with both a bath and a choice of shower heads. For both nights I ate in the restaurant and was served by a charming and efficient waitress. In addition to the normal menu, a 'Specials' menu was offered which I'm pleased to report was different each night. The food was delicious, nothing pretentious and was nicely presented. Breakfast was ok. Limited but quite adequate. Yes - it was January and the weather was threatening a dusting of snow but it was shame that both the restaurant and bar were so quiet. I wish the Derby Arms every success and I will certainly consider returning.

Room good size and clean. Could do with two bedside lamps rather than one. Extractor fan clunking noise when on. Room next door were noisy at night, so soundproofing would be good. Construction work started in next room before 0800 to change window.. Didn't need an alarm clock.
