Super stay - high quality furnished room, and quiet late on, despite the vibrant atmosphere at the adjoining pub. Only thing I could perhaps find fault with would be the high tog rating for the duvet (which made for a rather warm night !)

We recieved an email from the hotel just after the free cancelation window ended, notifying us of additional charges for extra beds that we weren't expecting and that were not on our initial confirmation email after booking. Would recommend that the hotel sends out any emails with additional charge notifications within the cancelation window to give customers the opportunity to understand the full cost of their stay before they are locked in. We ended up booking another hotel for the night and losing the cost of this booking because requests made to the hotel for a refund were denied.

The property was really well decorated and clean as it has just recently been upgraded and was beautifully decorated inside. Unfortunately there has been no sound proofing in the property, so the noise from The upstairs apartment and people leaving the pub was very off putting. We have stayed at The Dragon on numerous occasions, but this will be our last time booking in here.

Booked this at the last minute and it was a great choice. Struggled to find it on a dark and rainy night because it’s part of the Dragon pub and I couldn’t find a sign for the cottage! Parking was quite busy but still found a space. Much better than the drab budget hotels in Derby.

We came for 4 days to go to Download festival and it was perfect. The staff are all lovely.. especially Emma! Always helpful, even leaving out cardboard for our extremely muddy boots. The walk along the canal is beautiful too. Highly recommend this place.
