Apartment at The Old Dog, Thorpe

I have been going to the Old Dog for around 10 years and it has always been a favourite but I was delighted to see that I can no stay at the pub.

I was impressed with the accommodation which was clean, comfortable and very spacious. Staying in pubs can be a lottery in terms of noise but in this case we hardly heard any noise from the pub below. The instructions were clear and the staff very friendly. I would recommend this and I will return soon. Fantastic walking and lots to do in this area.

Everything was mostly great.

You are booking above a pub so you do hear doors shutting and noises but it can be drowned out by the tv :) lights have been installed for the staircase so that is fixed now. Two suggestions 1) clearer signage for the apartment 2) better comms with the owner. Felt like I was texting myself and this is anything from asking for things to giving him apartment related updates. Didn’t feel as welcome due to this as I have in other properties (eg ty den in wales)

A lovely stay - already planning when we could return

Great place to stay with friends, this was our second visit and our friends third.

A warm comfortable apartment with everything you need and good food in the pub below. Would like to give a special mention to Ross the Manager of the pub, I left something behind in the apartment and he went to the trouble of retrieving it and posting back to me. Fantastic service. We will definitely be back.

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment - well equipped, cosy, super comfy beds, and excellent location near to popular walking and cycling routes.

Would happily recommend.

Absolutely lovely apartment so clean and fresh, would definitely recommend to friends and family to stay there.

Nicely presented and helpful staff.

We spent 3 nights in the Apartment at The Old Dog and really enjoyed our time there.

It is beautifully decorated and very tastefully furnished, with no expense spared. The location worked well for us, with walks close by and not too far a drive to Bakewell and Buxton, two areas we wanted to visit during our stay. We did experience one issue that we’ve raised directly with the owners and which they graciously took on board. The beds are really comfortable and bedding and towels were of good quality and fresh. The kitchen is well stocked (only thing missing for us was a pizza cutter!) and a little treat was left for our dog, which was a nice touch. The noise from the road was a bit of a problem for me as I am a light sleeper, so if you suffer with the same, I’d suggest taking some ear plugs along with you (this was worse in the bedroom off the lounge area). Also, the pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which we didn’t realise when we booked, but we managed to find plenty of places to eat close by. All in all, it was a nice break for us.

Beautifully decorated.

Very very comfortable beds. Very well equipped, had everything you needed and more, like the extra dog bed and towel, should our pooch have needed it. The meals we had in the pub were very tasty. We thought the whole stay was great value for money.

Superbly renovated flat with all amenities.

Fantastic location. We will return.

This is a brilliant apartment which amply accommodated 4 adults and 2 dogs.

The rooms are large and plenty of space for all. It's nicely furnished and everything you need for a break.Riss was so accommodating when we had a blip with the WiFi and despite being very busy in the pub he sorted it out in a few minutes. I can't recommend this place enough. Five stars all the way. The pub downstairs serves amazing food and drinks and has the friendliest staff ever. There are a variety of walks 2 minutes walk away on the Tissington trail and Ashbourne is a few minutes drive away.
