All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. The food was excellent and the bar has a quiet ambience. The bedrooms are very comfortable. Location is excellent for Chatsworth. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

Rachel the receptionist was very welcoming, when she realised we were staying for our wedding anniversary she surprised us with a bottle of prosecco. She was very friendly at breakfast time too. Lovely lady. The breakfast was excellent, great choice and the ambience of the room for breakfast and dinner is very welcoming.

The outside appearance was quite scruffy and not like it used to be. On the front seating area it looked like it had not been swept up for about a year as old decayed leaves cluttered the steps, plastic straws and cigarette butts everywhere. Our glasses from the previous night were still on the table outside the following morning.

The room was clean, as was the shower and toilet. It had a comfortable bed, plenty of storage for clothes etc. The Breakfast, included in the price was generous, (all you could eat) our dog was made very welcome in virtually all areas.

The room was a little small, and could have done with a couple of comfy chairs if there had been a little more room. Wifi wasn't too good but did work, as we couldn't get a telephone signal inside most of the property for 4G to work. The room didn't have a very good view, as it looked out over a compound for the dustbins and back of kitchen extractor fans and ducting and was noisy when they were dumping glass and rubbish in the bins.

Rooms are comfortable, friendly staff, good food and in an excellent position for visiting Chatsworth.

The weather was cold during our stay and it snowed. The bar area and dining room were cold in the evenings. On the second night we asked for the central heating in the dining room to be turned on as the radiators were stone cold. One or two diners kept their coats on! It got better once the radiators warmed up and we had an enjoyable meal. After dunner we went into the bar but the radiators in there were also cold. There was a wood burning stove but this was never lit even when it snowed. We would have stayed longer in the bar but because it just wasn’t cosy and warm we had one hot drink and went to our room.

Such a lovely hotel & pub. We stayed for 2 nights whilst exploring the Peak District. The hotel is walking distance to the grounds of chatsworth and a short drive to Bakewell. We were warmly greeted by Rachel, who let us know we had a complimentary upgrade to our room. We were travelling with our dog, who also got a little treat packet, that she was very happy with! Room was beautiful, with plenty of space and a secure courtyard that made it so much easier with the dog. Breakfast had a good choice of hot & cold options (Pancakes were amazing!), and our evening meal with lovely. (We recommend the pie!). We would definitely stay again!

Nothing of note

Perfect location for our needs. A relaxing day and night before a wedding in Bakewell. From when we arrived we found all of the staff very friendly. Rachel on reception gave us lots of information and showed us to our room which was spacious clean and comfortable. Breakfast was perfect. I was dubious and concerned as I had read some negative reviews on TripAdvisor but please ignore these. Very close to Chatsworth and plenty of walks and local buses nearby

Nothing

Staff greeting us was very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast host/server was very good and welcoming. Dinner server was very nice and helpful. I had an issue with my dinner so they didn’t charge me and also offered what ever I wanted to replace it. I did not take them up with it. We had six in our family that dined and all of them were excellent. All meals were so good! The inn is exactly what we wanted to experience in the country side. The near by town was so amazing and the Chatsworth venue was REALLY amazing inside tour excellent and the grounds tour was excellent. It is a ways to get there from London but made nice by being able to view the countryside along the way by train. Well worth it.

We loved this place so there isn’t really anything the is worth mentioning but the toilet in our room was so close to the wall that you had to sit at a slight angle. Not really a thing that should be complained about just a little odd. The floors creaked a lot which didn’t bother us other than our concerns for the people below us during my night visits to the bathroom. I figured out later that actually there is no rooms below us to bother. These are not things that should take away from our visit rather just things that you should expect.

Good breakfast in a nice atmosphere, good selection of food, comfortable chairs. Room was nice, but most of the furniture was white painted French Provincial and looked like it came out of a charity shop.

About half of the furniture was French Provincial painted white and looked like it came from a charity shop and was not befitting the overall style of the hotel. Wardrobe was flimsy and was not level. The hotel is dog friendly which means that dogs could have been in your room and you can be sitting in the dining room next to a dog. I completely disagree with 'dog friendly' policies as the hotel does not seem to care about guests that have allergies to dog hair. With a dog friendly policy, you attract some people but chase others away, like me.

The staff were excellent. Great customer service , very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely evening meal and were served by Ruby, who was very helpful and attentive. Our room was comfortable with a great choice of drinks and a nightcap as well as lots of toiletries. Breakfast was very nice, good choice. Location was perfect for our weekend visit to Chatsworth

Very creaky floors, concerned about disturbing other guests as we moved around our room. Feature of older buildings, I guess. Wouldn't put me off staying again.

Lots of lovely walks close by. The staff were all very good indeed. The room was clean and ideal for what we wanted (family room). There were some bath ducks in the kids bathroom (separate bathrooms was an unexpected bonus) and some books in the kids room. I really liked the toiletries that I used. The breakfast was very good.

We stayed on a Wednesday night. I was surprised at how noisy it was in the room in the evening. We could hear music from the pub, which made it difficult for my youngest child to drift off. All quiet by 9pm though. The water pressure was not very good in either bathroom.
