Three of us had a marvellous meal here on Friday evening. We each had different main courses and two of us had deserts. Together with a very good bottle of wine, I felt the bill was very reasonable. Looking forward to our next visit and thank you to all of your staff.

Best café in Wirksworth, and I've been to them all. I always have coffee and a pastry here when passing through. Some dishes are a little on the pricey side, but worth it, and the staff are always lovely. Brings back nice memories of France.

French style bar/bistro in the centre of Wirksworth with good menu choices, specials board and lunchtime offer. Extra seating downstairs. Extensive wine selection. Only real downside was that we struggled to find anywhere to park nearby on a Friday night.

We came across this pub late lunchtime in mid October. We were made extremely welcome by both the other customers and the bar staff - who was extremely knowledgeable about all her real ales. There was so much atmosphere to be soaked up. The food was good and the drinks served were in excellent shape, nothing was a bother to them. I would recommend this establishment to anyone who hopes to be given a very warm welcome.

Stayed here overnight in the campervan area. Really welcoming. All the staff and locals were chatty, was nice as was on my own (with the dog). Very dog friendly. Food was really great. All home made. Will definitely be returning. May even take the husband. Lots of walks from the pub too.

Not much to say other than, A brilliant little pub!. Wes was super welcoming and the food was on another level! They let us order half hour early as the chefs was already in which was nice as we was happy to wait till the kitchen opened. The atmosphere was top notch, the pub & facilities are exceptionally clean and well looked after. We camped here for £7 pp (kids are free) which is cheap in my opinion (showers are £1 coin run if you want one) and the views around the pub/field are so pretty. Enough space for easy 20+ campers/vans/ motor homes with a nice gap between them. The food and drink here is excellent value for money along with the camping. We will definitely be back in the future. Keep up the great work Wes and the team 👏

Oakhill Hotel

I attended a work Christmas meal during an evening at the Oakhill Hotel. The location and hotel itself was excellent, with plenty of parking available. The service from staff was great, and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The food looked and tasted amazing. Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. Overall this was a great experience at top class Hotel. I would definitely like to visit again.

Probably one of the smallest and friendliest hotels I've ever stayed at. Food was outstanding and the lamb shank was one of the best "mains" I've ever eaten. Room we stayed in was quite basic, but had some nice touches of quality finish. Young blond female staff member who checked us in at reception was superb. Restaurant/waiting staff were also brilliant.

I had the pleasure of staying in the oaks cottage for a weekend getaway in the beautiful rolling hills of Cromford. It was spotlessly clean and had the comfiest bed, a rainfall shower and was very tastefully furnished. After a walk at Black Rock (a must-visit!), kicking our boots off and relaxing in the warm cottage with a cup of tea in the lounge area was a great wind-down before an evening out. The kitchen invites you to cook up a storm, however we opted instead to take a stroll into the friendly town for dinner and enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the hotel restaurant the following morning. I had the English breakfast with fresh coffee and cold juice which was a perfect start to the day. The staff were so helpful and friendly and it was clear they wanted us to enjoy our stay and were happy to be there themselves. Overall this hotel was the perfect base for our Peak District getaway!

Sunday dinner for two in January - absolutely stunningly gorgeous food (hot, extremely tasty turkey, large portions, well presented) with attentive service and a warm smile from well trained staff. Will definitely come back for another Sunday roast, and most likely try other food offerings also. What a great team from the kitchen through to the table, in a lovely countryside location. Thank you

Fantastic stay, the room was perfect and really well furnished. The bed was so comfy and the bathroom was stunning. The service was incredible and I would definitely recommend the breakfast. The hotel is perfectly situated for beautiful walks in every direction and we really enjoyed visiting Cromford. There was literally nothing more we could have asked for from our stay thank you Oakhill.

Great little cafe in a nice location. Can’t comment on the full menu, but the sausage cob was really nice, and a proper mug of tea to go with it. Look forward to sampling the other breakfast items and the cakes in the future

Lovely place to stop and dine or just a cuppa and cake whilst passing through on our motorbikes. Friendly welcome and polite service, food and drink served promptly and was excellent. Cakes are delicious. Plenty of seating inside and out. Some places can be a bit selective or funny about visiting when riding motorcycles, pleased to say this one is friendly & welcoming, look forward to returning again soon. Thanks.

We arrived at 3pm on a Sunday, hungry, and tired from running in the Peak District. We were pleased to find a couple free tables, one indoors. We got the big smithy’s breakfast for a late lunch. The food was hot, and all cooked really well. The bacon, black pudding and oatcake were especially good - crispy, salty and rich! From the Big portions, friendly and quick service this meal was just the restorative and hearty food we needed.

Always a lovely service here. Friendly and helpful. Very popular with walkers, cyclists and bikers especially at the weekend. Proper mug of tea made the way you want it. Great food menu from breakfast to sandwiches, panini's and lovely cakes. The location is perfect, right in the centre of Monyash and it's especially pleasant on a sunny day. Has indoor and outdoor seating as well. I highly recommend dropping in when you're out exploring this part of the Peaks.

Katie Weeds Hair & Beauty, Belper

The Bank, 20 King St, Belper DE56 1PS, UK

4.6 (112 reviews)

P: 01773 880890

My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the fantastic service at Katie Weeds- particularly as our little boy has always been extremely frightened of having his hair cut. We decided to take a chance a few months ago, and brought him to Katie Weeds instead of the children's barbers he went to before; and each time he has become braver and braver. We would especially like to thank Emily. Since Angus has been seeing her for his haircuts, he has come on leaps and bounds. Rather than being frightened of going in, he's now spending the day before telling me he's going to see his friend Emily to have his hair done. She has been so kind and understanding of his nervousness. She always makes sure to shield his neck to prevent itchy hairs from making him uncomfortable- which was always a big part of his dislike- She joins in his chatter about numbers and timetables, and she knows the way to his heart is through bribery with Loveheart sweets! Thankyou Katie Weeds for being an excellent place, and thankyou Emily for making Angus' life just that little bit less scary :) x

We stayed nearby and walked in mainly due to its proximity and it ended up being such a lovely experience. They had pheasant casserole on as a special and it was so delicious! One of the best meals I had out in a while. The service by the young guy at the bar was great too. Highly recommend for some delicious homely food.

Staying nearby on holiday, we easily booked a table to eat online in advance. Brilliantly friendly owner as we arrived early to play some pool (dedicated games room!), there's a good choice of ales and wines, and a wide food menu including specials. The food was absolutely amazing - brilliantly home cooked with plenty to eat. We sat near to the fire in the lovely decorated main room. Would highly recommend. If you were planning to eat at the weekend take note of the kitchen times and it's probably worth booking ahead a lot of tables were reserved when we visited (early Saturday evening)!

Had an amazing meal here. My wife's Turkey dinner looked delicious, it was served with roast potatoes, mixed vegetables, roast parsnips, mashed potatoes and a cranberry stuffing ball. The Turkey was moist and a generous portion. I opted for the pie. There was a choice of steak and ale or pheasant and red wine. I had the pheasant and again this didn't disappoint. The staff we really friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Wow what a lovely pub we stumbled across after crossing the river via the local stepping stones far in the valley below. Back up the hill a five minute drive away. Excellent food (probably the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had and the beef is local), superb real ale, two real fires and very friendly service. If only I was a local! Highly recommend, well done guys.

Absolutely loved our meal here, we stopped in for lunch after a long rainy walk, greeted with a lit fire and cosy surroundings. The food was scrumptious, and I only wish our visit was longer as we were tempted by so many of the dishes! The staff were wonderful and so friendly. I would highly recommend The Old Dog and would happily visit again in future!

We visited without a reservation and was welcomed to wait in the Bistro until the restaurant opened at 17:00. It is a beautiful setting, friendly staff, very good food at a reasonable price. The slide of beef was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy and the breadcrumbed brie amazing. A special thank you to Gabe and Becky who looked after us.

I was treated to an afternoon tea here for my birthday. The place itself is beautiful and the staff were lovely. The afternoon tea was good - the scones especially 😋 they were still warm and got plenty of cream and jam to spread on them. The only thing I didn't like was the filling in the sandwiches, I don't know whether you can choose other fillings or not as I wasn't the one that booked it but might be worth checking if you're a fussy eater like me.

Booked a last minute table for a Sunday roast as daughter was playing hockey locally. We were greeted by Jacob who was very upbeat and helpful. It was quite late in the day but we ordered 3 beef roasts and a nut roast. Plus some sides. Jacob was very efficient and knowledgable. My wife was persuaded to have a red wine which she thoroughly enjoyed. The food was delicious, we have had many pub roasts and this one was up in the top ten. Would highly recommend. Jacob was such a good host we thought he owned the pub! 😂 well done Jacob.

Amazing Christmas meal today for 12 family members. Service was quick and the portion sizes were perfect. Food was delicious and if you require more of anything the staff are very attentive to your request. A wonderful place to sit in-front of the fire after your meal or in the snug where there’s toys for the children to keep them entertained. Highly recommended . Will definitely be returning.

Went for a walk nearby to see some waterfalls, and noticed the Barrington. 8 of us and a dog and they were very accommodating, making up a table for us away from the main restaurant(as dogs weren't allowed in that side). Fantastic in every aspect, friendly attentive staff, nice decor and feel to the place, and delicious Sunday roasts and cocktails. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area

A little gem. On arrival, from the outside, the place looked promising … but you never know! First up, we had a smooth and friendly check in. Heading upstairs we entered our spotless and very spacious room - a lovely surprise and great value for money compared with other options in the general area - it was well-appointed and nicely furnished and with a large four poster bed. We debated whether to eat in or head out and chose to eat in and weren’t disappointed. The dining room is beautifully designed and laid out - the lighting is warm and atmospheric - and the food is clearly made with skill and passion - with each dish well executed - and not to mention the excellent wine - we had the Pinot Noir - and it was all very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and considerate and created a relaxed atmosphere. All in all the owners are clearly on the ball and in this relatively modest price bracket they really managed to deliver a classy experience - thanks a lot!

Stayed here Saturday, 27th January, 2024 for one night. Hotel is lovely, has loads of old character and is spotless clean. We stayed in room 1. It was absolutely stunning and very comfortable. We had an evening meal, but because neither of us were overly hungry, we decided to just have starters and share. Food was very good. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. We will definitely hopefully return very soon.
