Boundary, Alfreton by Marston's Inns

Room was a lovely size. Couldn’t fault the staff, they were very efficient , polite, friendly & helpful. Breakfasts were lovely and the meal we had in the pub, was very good, generous portions too.

Cheap and cheerful, ok for a one night business stay. You get what you pay for.

The room was excellent but what made it a great stay was the staff. I can't remember the guys name but he was from Peckham. He was great...

Friendly staff and a very large quiet room. Had very good night's sleep. The hotel is set in a suburban area away from the centre of Alfreton but it means it was very quiet with trees and a recreation ground behind. The staff were very helpful with a sense of humour. Made sure I had exactly what I needed for breakfast.

Fantastic room 10/10

Nice and quiet plenty of parking

The rooms are basic but a good size, it's doesn't feel too secure as the front door is always being left open by 'locals' and quite often people stood out the front smoking.

Needed an overnight stay to break up a long trip and this was perfect. Great value, friendly staff and comfy bed. Quiet room and nice area.

Excellent service, friendly staff. The room was spacious and beds were comfy.

It was what was expected of a Marstons. Food was good pub food. Good variety of drinks including real ale. Nice sitting out areas, plenty of car parking. Room was comfortable and clean although a little dated. A larger than usual room however which was nice. The staff were lovely. Nice and quiet and just 5 minutes off the A38.

Fab stay, great staff

Good place to stay on our road trip. Good food and drink at the pub and comfortable room.

Amazing

Very spacious, clean room. Very comfortable beds. It's the second time we have stayed, we will stay there again. Breakfast was good and well priced.

We had a good stay at the property, staff was very friendly and helpful, bed was huge and very comfortable, comfy pillows too, nice specious room which was tad dated but was clean enough not to spoil our stay. Good pub attached to the hotel, great that it had little play area to keep little ones happy and on the day we arrived there was a bouncy castle which was huge bonus. I would have been happier if breakfast was a bit better. There wasn't a huge choice for the continental breakfast and had to ask for items to be replenished which may have been due to just one staff on shift which is fine as occupancy wasn't huge. All in all good stay, convenient for Peak District visit, helpful and pleasant staff and good meal in the restaurant.

Booked several months ago, but was at first told "There is no booking" then later told that it had been cancelled -which we had NOT done. We had no email saying it was cancelled rather we had a confirmation on 13/3 plus our profile still had it listed as a live booking. Still trying to solve this mystery…. As the hotel was full, we had to go to another hotel for the first night and it was at more than twice the price of our Boundary booking for 2 nights. All praise to Matt the duty Manager who did his best to find us a place for the night ringing round and checking online and then kindly gave us dinner on them. Helped a lot with our stress levels after a long days travelling!

Great stay, very large room, quiet village. Will return for sure.exellent and friendly staff.

Convenient to m1

Great hotel and bar Friendly staff Great food

Lovely room, very clean, friendly staff

We arrived late having had to travel 5 hours after work for a funeral the following day. Hotel and staff were superb and great breakfast set up the day with a good start

Lots of parking, friendly staff, room as described/photos.

great from the enthusiastic welcome, spacious room, comfy bed, quality and value evening meal and a well kept beer. Excellent overnight stay

Large room large double bed. Really comfortable mattress quilt and pillows. Very clean

Room 15 needs roof tlc

For an overnight on business this is ideal. Clean room, decent shower, comfy bed and good wifi. I only put wifi last because its work. Friendly staff and the food in the pub next door is quite nice , you know a variety of favourites from a chain pub yet good value.

Helpful staff

The sofa bed was terrible. Very uncomfortable indeed. So they need to add an extra single bed for the family room instead of an old sofa bed which is not nice to sleep on.

The bed was spacious and comfortable, room was clean and nice. Only problem was the Wifi did not work for us

Very large and comfortable rooms. Bit oldfashioned but clean. Friendly host. Pub/Restaurant right next to the hotel.

Great value for money. Booked the room with adjoining beds so that kids had their own space, worked out well. Cooked breakfast was good value too!

Comfy bed. Friendly service. Very clean

Taneesha gave me a good welcome despite being a first time visitor. Subsequently she explained the stay and food arrangements efficiently and talked me up into breakfast as well as dinner. Good beers, wines and food. Breakfast was pretty good though I missed some “real” coffee as opposed to more sachets of the main brand we all know with a thermos of hot water.

Booked accommodation two days before stay, and got a good room. Was large with good amenities, and was nice and quiet. Staff were excellent and the breakfast was very good.

This property is very close to my child’s fathers home which is so convenient lovely staff friendly

The family room was great. The room ws huge and the 2 children's beds were at the other end of the room. The price was reasonable.

Good location, convenient pub next door. Room was fine, apart from noisy party one night just outside the room.

It was Ok

Boundary just had a warm and welcoming feeling as I walked in. The bedroom was excellent value for money, as was the breakfast. really tasty!

The room had plenty of space and bed comforatable and quiet. Location in the middle of a housing estate but the pub part nice and friendly. Still using plastic milk tubes, no fridge or air con

Unfortunately it was noisy due to the wedding that they had on. After the wedding, even though the music did stop at midnight, there was some sort of noise in the hotel afterwards, noisy pipes maybe? Anyway, by the time that stopped it was about 1am. Also because we had to shut all the windows because of the noise it was incredibly hot, no air conditioning. Not somewhere I’m going to be booking again.

Only stayed one night. Hotel was clean quiet and comfortable.

Nice rooms

Great place clean and friendly

Great place. Quiet area, nice pub. Friendly staff, lovely room. Good location.

Free parking good food

It was a great place to stay, having the pub next door was a great bonus. We were greeted with great politeness and everything explained. The room was massive, Queen size bed nice comfortable. The breakfast was great value for the price, full English, cereal tea/coffee, juice and plenty of toast. So all in all i would recommend.

It appears that there in no body onsite after the pub closes. This cored a problem when the fire alarm went off a 2am and it took 30 minuets for someone to arrive and deal with the fire fighters and another 30mins to switch the alarm off as we waited outside in the cold.

One deficiency is lack of an elevator. We had a heavy bag to lift up the stairs. Otherwise our experience was pleasant. Hotel room was very spacious, with a sofa inside, and a king size bed. Parking was free and convenient. That's a restaurant and pub. We went there mostly for sleep so can't comment on other facilities.

Lovely large room, well appointed. Pity the radiator and mirror light didn’t work. Great value, easy check in. Would definitely stay again

I was unable to stay at this place as due trains delays , they were unable to accommodate my arrival time. They still took the payment for the room tho. After several phone calls to the hotel very poor service.

Clean, spacious family room, easy parking, great service…

Spacious room, really clean and comfortable. Helpful and friendly staff.

Very good for the price. The room was clean and had everything you need, the only minor issue was a bit of damp around the window from condensation. Only paid £48 so good value for money.

I was only there from around 4pm Friday 3rd Nov until 8am the following morning. My brief stay was pleasant and comfortable and the staff very friendly. I would not hesitate in returning there if coming to the area.

Friendly helpful staff without exception

Friendly and helpful staff.

Unfriendly check in staff

Parking was fine, and the room was good. Bed really comfortable. However, breakfast was a disaster. The guy on duty was unwell and should not have been serving food. There were no glasses for juice, no pastries, no cutlery. Service was slow and the cooked food was average. Not an incentive to return.

This is a great stop over place to stay. Fits the bill all around. Good price, comfortable, clean and warm. Shower wasn’t the best. Not as powerful as we are used to, but overall great value for money

Lovely and clean accommodation, quiet location, no motorway noise, and not far from major routes. Bar and restaurant next door for drinks & food after a day out, with good prices on meals.

Easy to find , on arrival Oliver, the manager, made us very welcome, explained all the details of our stay, meals, room access etc. the family room was perfect, large and spotless. The room itself, even with all of the windows open was still very warm, a fan was provided but hotels going forward need to start looking at air conditioning especially as temperatures continue to rise. The menu choice was extremely good value and we were pleasantly surprised when are food arrived, no long wait, hot and plenty of it. The serving staff were very helpful and when we requested a well chilled bottle of white went out of their way and the wine came in an ice bucket with plenty of ice. The shower in the bathroom left a lot to be desired, very weak flow, and the sink had been fitted by someone of very short stature, virtually impossible to stand and shave at., plus the plunger washer was missing so the sink would not fill with water. A few annoyances, but all in all a pleasant stay with freindly and helpfull staff

Nice quiet location

We booked the family room whilst on a trip to the Peak District a little further than we thought it would be but thats because the map shows as the crow flies and the roads arnt very fast in that area so took 50 mins from dovedale. The room is a great space the kids have a little separate bit with two singles and with a second tv so gives mum and dad a bit of piece , shame it doesn’t have a proper door or even a curtain so can’t hear the tv but otherwise great idea. The room was very nicely presented better than a lot of travelodges. The bathroom was a little dated but clean and tidy. Tbh my only gripe would be the shower was a bit useless as no power behind the spray but very commen in hotels they just seem to not have the power when multiple occupancy. Otherwise perfect place for a budget stay. The adjoining pub was fab, nice food and decent prices and they had a pub quiz which was fun. For the low price we paid I was really pleasantly surprised. 👍👍

Easy to find, nice clean room, friendly staff in the pub

The room was large and clean and beds super comfortable. Bit of a weird way to check in reception is in pub and hotel is part of building across the street. Pleasantly surprised

Excellent hotel! Big sized modern rooms which are really clean.

Very comfortable and easy check in.

General pleased all round

Staff were very welcoming. Room exceeded expectations, was very large, comfortable, big bathroom. It was a convenient location for us and the bar/restaurant attached served basic pub food at a reasonable cost. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area and will recommend to friends

Clean comfortable large room. Tea, coffee and biscuits. Hairdryer. All you need for a stay. Didn’t have breakfast as had to leave early due to family issues

easy and clean, good price too

Lovely welcome and fab staff.

Good sized family room that was clean, spacious and comfortable. The room was a bit warm in spite of the windows being open. Breakfast was good although I would like to see more choice for the continental selection - it was a little limited. Very helpful and friendly staff - would I stay here again? Yes I would.

Large, clean room. Staff were very helpful. Used as a base to visit family. Good location. Restaurant beside hotel was very good.

Staff were friendly room excellent

Nice big room. Very clean. Great value

Friendly staff, large clean room, great value

In a very convenient location near to the A38. Suited our needs for an inexpensive stay with the advantage of being next to the pub and not actually attached to it. We heard no pub noise from our room. Our room was spacious and clean, maybe a little too warm but thats just a personal choice.

The bath plug didn’t really work, the water from the bath kept emptying out the water. We had the do not disturb sign on the door, but upon returning, someone had been in the room which I really didn’t like, I need to feel safe when I’m not at home and it made me not feel safe. Also, emptying all of your glass bins at 10pm outside of hotel rooms really isn’t a smart call, there must’ve been an earlier time of day that could be done, even half emptying, not waiting till they’re too full and staff have to throw individual bottles into the bin tk make it possible to lift the bins. The noise onslaught woke everyone up, please try to be more sensible when considering the guests. The loud music is easier to understand but emptying bottle bins in unsocial hours isn’t. There’s also a really unpleasant smell in the hotel. My autistic guest found it really hard to cope.

Enjoyed our stay at Boundary. Staff were brilliant especially on Sat 1st April when the place was very crowded, no hassle at all. Heating was not working in the hotel itself but fan heaters had been provided which did the job well. Location excellent for exploring the surrounding districts, in particular Matlock Bath in the Sunday afternoon sunshine.

I stayed for 5 nights a week for 3 weeks over a 6 week period. On arrival on each occasion i had to wait while a member of staff had to find someone to check me in. I ate twice whilst there and was not impressed, each time a fried egg was on the plate, how can a fried egg be burnt on both occasions it was? I arrived last Sunday @ 19.30 and was told if i wanted to eat i had 15 minute to get down to the bar and order. I was also told on each occasion if I wanted breakfast i had to decide, order and pay the night before. Why? On the second Friday I went to check out and found the hotel was closed and locked, no person was there and it was in darkness. I had to contact head office to get my invoice.

Room fine except poor water pressure in shower

Room was huge and comfortable .bath a lil dated but all in all fabulous. Pub food lovely.Staff so friendly and accomadating

Great value, friendly staff, excellent room and bed and good value breakfast. Highly recommended!

This is well presented venue, in a quiet area. Unfortunately the staff member on duty was very rude towards guests checking in. As a result this has made consider any future bookings at a Marston's Inn.

Probably best vfm hotel i have stayed in. Only complaint was breakfast room was far too cold.

Nice place to stay and good value

Lovely pub with rooms in annexed building. Stayed whilst working for DFS locally. Good food, friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

-what's for breakfast? -your name is not on the list -but I ordered and paid for breakfast -but your name is not on my list -So no breakfast? -No

Brilliant little hotel staff are friendly and helpful. One downside noisy idiots at 12 at night. Comfortable and good location just off the motorway. Didn’t have breakfast but feel that should be added into the price of the stay. Overall decent place

Loud music at 18th birthday party in function room under hotel bedrooms until late at night so hotel guests cant sleep. Management unwilling to help they prioritise the party over the hitel and pub. We also had food in the restaurant which took over an hour to arrive from a limited menu also due to the party. Shame as its a nice place but the management have their priorities wrong. New manager required.

Spacious, Comfy and clean rooms. Good location and free parking on site. Had an enjoyable stay. Sleeping accomodation is away from the main pub so nice and quiet.

The room was large modern and clean but the mattress on the put up bed was very thin and my son couldn’t sleep on it due to feeling the springs so had to share the large double with us. Bathroom large and there was a bath and decent shower. Staff were pleasant but weren’t hugely welcoming, for example, we had reserved a table for 8 for food and they put us at the furthest point from the kids play area even though there were 4 young children and tables next to the area were free. Breakfast good choice and good value but no rush to fill plates, juice coffee etc when they ran out. Overall good stay

Kids revving cars outside until 11:30 Room next door extremely loud t

Great no frills stay. Room was an excellent size with 1 x king and 2 x singles. Just off the motorway the other side to the designer outlet and nearby to Derbyshire attractions.

First time stay wasn't to bad lil noisey at 230 from the tenants and beer barrels but still recommended cleaness was nice could do with sweep round in breakfast area bed room was lovely just couldnt work tv properly

Lovely place great stay only disappointing but was the food

The hotel part is absolutely spot on. Cheap, large clean room and large clean bathroom. The pub and food a different matter. Don't eat here
