We were in a self catering cottage, great location for the Wirksworth Heritage Railway where a friend was driving a train.
Lovely comfy bed and beautiful views, cosy and warm once we sorted out the heating instructions.
The menu at the pub looked really inviting, but as we were meeting friends we didn't have time to sample any of it.
Once the cottage had warmed up it was really cosy.
However unfortunately the instructions for the heating in the cottage booklet said to just turn on the radiator thermostats to control the heating and not to touch anything else. In fact a new boiler had been installed and a WALL thermostat had been turned down, thankfully the manager explained and showed us where it was situated.
He agreed that the instructions in the cottage manual needed updating.
Whilst he was in the cottage we also mentioned that the smoke alarm had no cover or batteries. His reply was that someone must have removed them.....and that legally the two semi detached cottages were one dwelling so our cottage didn't legally need a smoke alarm?

Location
Only negative was the bed was extremely squeaky and noisy every time you moved a tiny bit the sound was very loud. Suggest a solid base?

We had a wonderful time at The Bear Inn. The room was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfy—it felt like a real home away from home. The bathroom was just as impressive: spotless, stylish, and clearly maintained with great attention to detail.
On top of a lovely room, the food was absolutely exceptional. Every meal was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning!
The only thing, and very small thing, the shower was a bit of a non starter but I expect that's due to the old pluming from the beautiful old pub. Not a big deal, it got you clean!
