Lovely steak and ale pie, good fish and chips, friendly staff, nice beer garden Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view

The rooms are ok enough set in the middle of the small village, although the locking mechanisms to the rooms could do with updating. The food could have been a bit better. Rooms: 4 Service: 3 Location: 3

This is a charming restaurant with excellent, friendly staff and stunning views. It’s conveniently located near various attractions, making it a great spot to visit. I highly recommend it! Rooms: 5, Service: 5, Location: 5.

Stayed here 4 times now and rooms are always very clean , considering they re dog friendly . Staff not very organised though and always seemed to be rushing about . Food is very good ! Ideal place for exploring the countryside with lots of walks to do literally on the doorstep . Rooms: 5 Service: 4 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great value

I stayed here over the summer and, overall, we were disappointed. The rooms could really use some tender loving care. The food was underwhelming, especially breakfast, which consisted of a loaf of uncovered sliced bread for toasting yourself, with no fruit or yogurt, and only a choice between muesli and one other cereal. The staff were friendly and helpful; however, we encountered several of them working in other cafes and bars, which suggested they might not be very happy in their current roles. I would rate the rooms a 3.

I had booked to meet up with friends on a Groupon deal. Two nights for £170 BnB one dinner. My friend greeted me and said ' mmmm hope you are ok with it. Take a look its not great! '. She was right. This is a rustic pub and to call it a hotel is really misleading. There is no lounge for residents, no separation from the public at all. This is not a problem but needs declaring. Breakfasts are brilliant. The Full Monty to scrambled or poached eggs whatever you choose. Dinner is a varied affair. Soups are delicious, my husband enjoyed chicken wings, mains are mixed. We saw residents enjoying courses we did not choose. My friend enjoyed the curry a very big portion, my husband and I opted for th...

On check in, we were charged more than the agree rate, although this was refunded the same evening when I complained. the choice of breakfast cereals etc was very limited, with just corn flakes and muesli to choose from, whereas even from a basic b b we'd have expected more cereals with yoghurt fresh fruit as well. The Derbyshire cooked breakfast was OK but nothing special, with overcooked bacon and eggs. we dined in on Tuesday evening , and had to wait over an hour after ordering for a simple pie and chips to be served. The group of cyclists on the next table also waited over an hour. When I complained at the time I was told that it was due to staff shortages. Had we been warned about the l...

The hotel is lovely and the rooms are clean and comfy, but could do with a bit of a spruce up as they look slightly dated and scuffed. And the sink plug in room 6 was just gross looking. Black out blinds/curtains would be a good idea as well as the curtains were useless at keeping any light out, which meant a very early wake up as soon as it got light. The lock on the doors needs sorting as it was so awkward to lock, and took a few attempts each time we left the room. The staff were nice and friendly, and the location was great. The only disappointment for me was the food. I ordered the vegetarian pie in the evening and whilst the pie was nice it just really doesn't go with the chips, peas a...

Our room faced the front of the hotel, and while the village was quiet with only two pubs and a small corner store, it seemed to be a shortcut for heavy vehicles speeding downhill at night, with headlights constantly illuminating our room. We also found out that the hotel closes in the evening if it's not busy, and the front door may be locked as early as 10 PM, requiring a code for re-entry. The internet service was poor; even standing just outside the front door, I had no reception and couldn't call the emergency numbers posted there. It appears that the quality of the rooms varies significantly, with some having been upgraded while others are less desirable, including our own. When we qu...
