The Norfolk Arms Inn

Rooms very clean and comfortable. Mixed experience with staff. Most friendly. Returned a glass of warm white wine and the answer was it's been in the fridge. Obviously not for long enough. As a member of staff was locking up I asked her to let me go to my car for two minutes to get something. She told my friend to use the side gate and locked us out. The side gate was locked and we had to bang on the window to get back in. She should not be in the hospitality industry. This was on the night of Sunday Dec the 1st.

This is a lovely traditional pub in the town centre. Great selection of beers and a good choice of bar meals. It feels like a pub at the heart of the community. The room and facilities were very good. Staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also very tasty. Instructions to get in after hours could have been clearer!

I went here with friends and so I didn't complain... But when the waitress came and asked how it was and I said the potatoes were very very dry and had a taste as if the oil was rancid, she was just embarrassed. The meat in the Sunday roast was ample but it wasn't what I expected of a roast. The veggies in comparison were much more edible.

Nice enough place built of the local stone and with spacious dining / drinking rooms below. Lots of period features and character. My room was clean and comfortable if a little on the small side, and with iron, coffee making area, fan / heater and en-suite bathroom. The youthful staff all seemed friendly and the Holts beer is nice if you like traditional ale. There are a few niggles though: The juke box and later the bingo caller were very clearly and quite loudly audible in my room - maybe through ventilation ducts? It didn’t go on late but I was trying to do some reading and it was a distraction. I was also woken very early (5 am) by very loud rumbling which I think was water noise, presumably from next door. Meanwhile, there’s food in-house and it’s ok but not brilliant. It was only available til 3pm despite being advertised online as all day, though the staff kindly helped us out with last minute requests. A slightly bigger problem is that breakfast is not available til 1000 - no use at all if you have to get up and go out to work and, bizarrely, after the advertised check-out time. I have to say that my stay all worked out ok despite the niggles and as I only paid £80, I’m not complaining. But those spending more than 1 night or those on a tight work schedule might demand more. A shame because it has the makings of a find place to eat, drink and stay.

Very nice room, comfortable bed, and all nice and clean. A little noisy because we were at the front by the main road and the weather was hot so we needed the window open. We were also surprised that breakfast was not available (other than continental in-room) until 10am. Anyway, decent pub downstairs and very centrally located. Would definitely use again.

Great location in centre of Glossop. Friendly and efficient staff. Room above bar was noisy one night with bingo being called. Excellent breakfast and good value. Spacious and pleasant room with comfortable beds. Manager especially helpful.
