Stayed at the Barley Mow 15 years ago. Thought at the time it was exceptional as an archetypal "olde worlde" English pub you wouldn`t find anywhere else in the world. Good memories of good food, comfort and friendliness.

I have to agree with 5600wilson.
Good_Pubguide has only commented on 2 pubs........in both he got an apparently rude reception....that must say something in itself. Some people......!

any way, more importantly, the Barley Mow is an ace place. Traditional and best for it.....leave all the kids in a 'family-friendly pub' and visit here for real treat.

Good_Pubguide is talking rubbish. This is the finest pub I have ever visited, a real rural gem that is worth seeking out. His comment that the 'seating is cramped' totally misses the point. This is a former 17th century farmhouse not a 90s family fun pub!! The lack of a bar, good beers, coal fire and cosy little rooms make a winning combination. I can't comment on the landlady being rude but I've never had any problems. Sadly there are few pubs like this left, so please pay a visit when you're in Derbyshire.

Please avoid visiting the Barley Mow. Visited the pub during a holiday back in July 2007. The Land Lady was very rude to my family and I after we entered a room which was private, but there were no signs up saying so!! Amazing this pub remains in business as you are made to feel very unwelcome when visiting! The service is poor and very cramped seating inside. The only good thing is the beer, shame about the owners! Never again - please avoid this pub!

Went looking for this one, but did not realise what a gem it was. So friendly and packed despite the early visit. Good ales served direct from barrels in excellent condition. Had a wander into the other room too - completely unspoilt place with lovely fires burning.
