Lovely place to stay, ideally situated to explore what the Peak District has to offer. The staff were polite and were very helpful. It has a great selection of alcoholic beverages to sit and enjoy after a long day of trekking through the beautiful walks that are on offer. The food was was very nice and had plenty of choice, which was also very quick to be served.
We stayed in room number 03 which was a lovely room, quite spacious but unfortunately the room has a very small shower with no bath, which was also dirty. The shower floor was stained and has mold embedded into the sealant so could really do with replacing. The hand soap dispenser holder was covered in thick dust when we arrived so didn't look like it had been cleaned properly before we got the keys for our stay. Also the radiator in the bathroom was hanging out of the wall. The bathroom really let the rest of the room down.We rated it an 8 overall but it would have given it a 10 if not for the bathroom issues. We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to the Peak District area.

The stay was lovely, the room (1) was decorated lovely! Had real character and was beautifully designed. Travelling with a baby was made easier with the communal fridge at the bottom of the stairs to put our milk in. The bath was a great size, as well as the bed. It would have been good to know about stairs somewhere on the booking to prepare but didn't really impact us! Overall great stay!
The only qualm is the cleanliness of the bathroom; the floor seemed to have black dots on the vinyl, which was either mould or, at best, looked like it (either way, it's not the nicest for such a great place. There was also a random woodlouse in the bathroom, again didn't really bother me but may be a sign of some wood rot.

A lovely location. I was in room 1 which is situated at the rear of the building. The room was lovely. Lots of quality tea and coffee, very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. The staff were all veryhelpfuland offered to take my bags to the room. I read other reviews regarding noise in the room as it is situated over the kitchen/bar area. I didn't find it a problem at all, a low hum at worst. If you want total silence then I think it is unfair to complain of noise when you have booked to stay in a pub!! A bonus is that there is plenty of parking. I will definitely stay there again.
The only downside for me was there wasn't enough choice for breakfast, meaning I didn't have any. I don't eat much and there wasn't an option to have a breakfast sandwich or egg on toast, just something light.

The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful throughout, our room was clean and tastefully decorated with everything you could need or want for an overnight stay. We pre-booked a table for dinner on arrival, the food was tasty and well presented. Our server Michelle was very efficient and looked after us well. Breakfast the following morning was again very nice and well presented, plenty of options and reasonably priced. It was refreshing to see more than just one option on menus for vegetarians and vegans. All in all a great stay at a very reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere and the staff can’t do enough for you. We would recommend to anyone thinking of booking and we will definitely visit again in the future!
Nothing. Everything was great.

I like that it’s in a stunning location and with Matlock and Bakewell being 10 minutes away and Castleton and various locations were within 30-40 minutes of the property so can make most of yours days and not spend half the day driving and finding parking. You can come and go as you wish even when the pub is closed. Modern bathroom with good water pressure. Customer service is excellent. Staff and Managers and were welcoming and attentive upon arrival to when we checked out. From breakfast to having a nice dinner to round off our stay it was an enjoyable experience. Even the cleaner was nice and attentive making sure we had everything and asked if we needed everything. We requested to have same room we had last time and they gave it to us which we were grateful for. Both times we have stayed, it has been superb and I would definitely recommend! Perk is that you can take your drink from the bar up to the room with you.
The only thing I could say is that the tv channel options are limited but that didn’t bother us as we were out mostly and only watched tv before going sleep. I generally couldn’t fault the stay.

The bedroom I had was lovely - big, light, nicely decorated, very comfy bed, and decent shower in the airy bathroom. Big TV on the wall, which I didn't use, tea making facilities which I did. All in all, a very nice room to relax in.
Breakfast arrangements - you had to select a table number and then go to the bar to order what breakfast you wanted. Would have been nicer to just sit, read the menu and then have someone take your order. It was quite busy, considering it was a Monday morning, so there was quite a wait before getting my food, and some bits were overcooked, like the bacon, while the tomato was hardly cooked at all. So breakfast just average, I would say.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean. Coffee bags were provided in the room rather than instant coffee - which was nothing short of brilliant. We ate there on our first evening, and the food was tasty and the accompanying vegetables to our leek and cheese pie were perfectly cooked. Well located for the Peak Railway (steam trains) and the Tram Museum.
Kitchen closes rather too early in the evening. The room we were in (no.8) was close to the recycling bins so got a bit noisy when the bottles were thrown away at night.

We paid a pre-agreed rate and for this it was very good. It was slightly disappointing as we would have booked the night before too nearer the time but the rate was double what we paid and there was no movement on this. Beverly the cleaner went beyond her role to stand with the windowcleaner in our room whilst we were not there as we had all our belongings out as we had just popped out and whilst not wanting to slur the window cleaners character it was very kind of her to stand in our room whilst we were not there. She went beyond what she needed to do.
Had we booked a second night it would have been twice the cost and no movement on this!

We had a 3 night stay, purely for a ‘walking holiday’. Hotel is in a good location for nearby walks. Bar/restaurant is very spacious, lovely decor, warm and country style feel, very clean. Friendly / pleasant staff. Food menu was sufficient, plenty of choice. Drinks menu and drink choice behind the bar was very good. Food and drink reasonably priced too. Breakfast was also very good, excellent value for money. Hotel room was spacious, clean and presentable, bed / pillows were comfortable. Shower over the bath, shower was sufficient (water temp and pressure was good) Tea/coffee making facilities were good, replenished daily. Large TV. I would happily stay again.
