Excellent throughout

Such a great place to stay, lovely location; staff the most helpful and friendliest I’ve been around for such a long time and the best part was being serenaded by the chef, from the kitchen when working whilst we waited for food, a really happy place. The cleaners were happy and friendly too. As for the food, just beautiful and so reasonably priced, don’t miss the breakfast, excellent.

Clean & tidy pub with excellent rooms. Large room with double bed and shower room. Good dining in large restaurant and excellent breakfast. Would recommend the food. Staff attentive and fairly polite. Only criticism and its small, is dont serve tea in vacuum jugs at breakfast. Had to ask for tea in a teapot, which duly arrived hot and fresh. Thank you for a wonderful night

We stayed here for 1 night whilst touring the peak district on our motorbikes. Plenty of parking and security cameras to ensure a good night's sleep. Our room was very comfortable and decorated to a high standard. The shower was big with great water pressure. We had an evening meal which we would rate as excellent, plenty of very friendly staff and a short wait for our food. Breakfast the next morning was plentiful and varied. We tried the Porky Hash which was huge! We would definitely recommend a stay here... we will be back
