Just returned from a stay in Moss Cottage, Ripley, Derbyshire. Having read the reviews previous to our visit we were very happy to see that most of them were incorrect. The room was very clean and pleasant with crisp clean white linen and towels. The breakfast was lovely and very filling, as was the evening meal, there was a variety... More

Well folks I cant understand what all the bad reviews are all about!!!!!!!! Its a must to try absolutely brill carvery and all staff are welcoming and very friendly -- try it yourself!!! Plz dont let others put u off.like they say go on your own judgement not others x

Upon arrival, we noticed that the entrance around the back was full or rubbish. The fence was broken and we were hoping that this was not a sign of things to come.

I stayed here after a function I attended the staff were fantastic and very helpful I was always greeted wit a smile. The room I had was nice and cosy with fresh towels and tea and coffee available. Will stay again.
