    It's great value for money so anything which wasn't perfect was accounted for in the price and there wasn't anything significant enough to bother mentioning here

    Lovely staff, comfortable quiet rooms.

    The bedroom was quite cold but comfortable otherwise. The carpet needs cleaning or relaying.

    The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was a nice location as you can do a 10-12km walk up onto the scar to get views including Morecambe Bay. Lots of local products are used at the hotel and pub which is humbling. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast here alot.

    The ambience of the bar area. Lacked 'cosiness' and was cold when the fire went out and wasn't re-lit.

    Good price. Nice staff. Property has 'character. Lovely bathroom and comfortable bed. Very good breakfast

    Room was rather small. There was no wardrobe so we used the hooks on the back of the doors. The plug sockets were rather inaccessible and so we could not charge our mobile phones.

    The staff were very courteous and efficient. We had a wonderful dinner and the breakfast was excellent. Very good value for money. The area was beautiful and near to where we needed to be the next day.

    The room we stayed in was really small we stayed with our dog luckily she was a small dog but there was no room to even move round the bed. The carpet was very tired and unclean. The bathroom floor didn’t appear to have been cleaned from the previous guest. The shower was tired all peeling where the plug was. The bed was so uncomfortable and a very old mattress kept rolling into the middle. The rooms need some renovation and could just be cleaner.

    The food was lovely we had a Sunday dinner and nice breakfast. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Some nice touches such as hand-wash, hand cream, shower gel, apple juice and complementary biscuits. All local produce. The pub was cosy with a log fire and rustic feel. We had stayed in Scotland for weekend so was just a stopover to break up the journey home so was good for what we needed.

    There was nothing really that I didn't like. The room was a little tired and could do with a lick of paint, but it was clean and tidy. This did not take away from the comfort and cosiness of the room.

    The food here is a really good standard and plentiful. Staff were very accomodating and service was impeccable. They are very dog friendly and the ale was lovely. Definitely good value for the money paid. The location was spot on for visiting areas of interest, and there are plenty of local walks .

    The room needed some TLC but on talking to staff they are in process of doing them so I could see what their vision was. It was comfortable and bathroom just enormous. Will be back to see outcome!

    Lovely team working there. Helpful and chatty. Great ambiance and on a wet evening warm and cosy all fires lit! Food excellent! Plenty of places to sit with a book or join in chat. As a single older traveller I felt very at ease.

    Bed was a little high it's quite a jump up to get to it so may not be suitable for all.

    Breakfast was fab. But the main point is the staff were very friendly. Felt really looked after and welcomed. In a genuine, warm way. Also seemed to be a pub valued by locals and I value that. The communal pub rooms were gorgeous. Roomy and great fires.

    We unfortunately got caught in a severe snowstorm. We had contact with the team at the Derby but weren't able to make it in time for check-in. We were able to make it by 3am, and when the hotel opened, we were welcomed in, accessed our room for a shower and refresh then headed down for a lovely breakfast. The staff were absolutely wonderful, welcoming and had been very concerned with our safety, which was lovely. Although we didn't stay the night, the hotel is clearly well appointed, clean, warm and comfortable and the staff are terrific. Highly recommended.
