The Greyhound Hotel

The beautiful and historic Greyhound Hotel forms the principal building of Cromford’s Market Place and today offers free Wi-Fi, free on-site parking and modern, recently refurbished rooms.

The bar offers a range of traditional ales and lagers, as well as an impressive selection of wines. The restaurant boasts a seasonal menu, featuring traditional cuisine.

Fully refurbished in October 2008, all of the en suite rooms have flat-screen TVs, DVD players and tea/coffee making facilities.

In the heart of the village, the Greyhound Hotel is a three-storey Georgian building, constructed in sandstone. It has made a substantial contribution to the history of the local area. Cromford Mill was the world’s first factory and was built by Sir Richard Arkwright, inventor of the Water Frame, a machine that revolutionised the cotton industry. The Greyhound provided lodging for visitors to Cromford and was used as the location for festivities organised by Arkwright for his workforce.
