I spent a few nights at the Spotted Cow this week during a short break in derbyshire. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Friendly and welcoming people, good food and the "Spotted Cow Blonde Ale" was lovely. I would thoroughly recommend the place for a good value and relaxed place to stay with good food and drinks. Accommodation is very nice... More

We like the friendly service and fresh food at reasonable prices. The interior has a relaxing ambience. We have returned to this restaurant several times and have enjoyed every meal. We are fussy about cleanliness but have never found the Spotted Cow to be anything other than clean and tidy. All the for is fresh and home made, no limp... More

Having seen some of the negative reviews below I feel the need to say what a perfect day we had at the Spotted Cow on Saturday April 28th. My son and his fiancee chose the venue and from the start were looked after really well by the proprietor. Everything, including restaurant style food with choices for the guests, was as... More

Thankfully from reading through the below, I did not purchase a groupon deal and just went along as it's local. The restaraunt seemed very quiet compared to a year or so ago so i'm suprised they are turning people away. The interior style is quite traditional but fairly newly done with soft lighting. The tables are a little packed in... More

We arrived feeling tired after a busy day at Alton Towers not really knowing what to expect. I booked the room on last minute.com. It seemed very reasonably priced for what it appeared to offer judging from the photos - so much so that I wondered what the catch was! There was no catch. The family room was very large... More

I wish I'd read the reviews here before making my booking! The Spotted Cow is advertised as having luxury accommodation - what an overstatement. Everything about our stay was a disappointment. When we arrived (after the stated check in time), we couldn't even check in - the only door we found open was the kitchen and had to ask the... More

We stayed in the family room (2 adults and 2 children). Big room with separate living space. That is where the positives end! It was filthy and in need of a good clean and tidy!!!! Very grubby and tired looking. The same could be said for the bar and restaurant too! Had a poor quality and over priced meal! We... More

I dined at the spotted cow and had the carvery. The food was fresh and tasty, however my experience was spoilt by the manager who was sharp, miserable and didn't seem interested in her customers. She swanned around the restaurant and never even asked if the food was ok or if we wanted any drinks.
