The Beeley Inn - Chatsworth

Overall a bit disappointing. We stayed for 2 nights and paid £685 to include one dinner (actually £74 towards dinner) and entrance to Chatsworth House. So overall about £550 for 2 nights bed and breakfast. It’s a premium price but not a premium experience. Good points: breakfast is good and there are premium choices such as eggs Benedict, Royale etc. as well as a very good full English. The bar is great, good beer and not too pricey. Average points: The room was ok, but the bed was quite soft and you felt like you were going to roll onto the floor if on the edge. It was a double so a bit small. (Would have expected. Queen or King). The minibar only had water or a small bottle of milk for tea and coffee. Bad points: The dinner was average. My local pub has better food and more choice. Starters pretty good to be honest (calamari was good and smoked mackerel pate good enough although the sourdough toast was not toast, just bread.) The beef and ale pie was pretty poor. It was filled mostly with gravy and hardly any beef. It was also too salty and the crust not crispy. They tried to charge us for drinks we didn’t have when checking out. Probably an honest mistake and the drinks were taken off the bill but demonstrates some disorganisation. It’s a shame because with a bit of work it could be really good. It’s a great location and lovely inn.

Stayed here 3 times previously and really enjoyed every aspect of it. Stayed this week and it was really poor. Afternoon lunch was poor in options and over priced, I got food poisoning and was sick all night, told them and had no reaction or concern. Service was poor, couldn’t get served at the bar and found 2 staff hiding, sitting chatting in the conservatory. This is meant to be under the Chatsworth brand, so expected so much more. Sad really as this place was GREAT in the past. ☹️ Save your money go elsewhere.

Visited for a Sunday dinner and didn’t disappoint! Food was amazing, one of the best roasts I’ve had. Staff members very friendly and accommodating. Food very quick as well. The restaurant is gorgeous, has a proper classic pub feel whilst being very well kept and clean and modern. Definitely recommend for a Sunday dinner
