    I chose the fish pie for dinner and personally didn't like the choice of fish for the filling. It contained a lot of smoke mackerel which over powered anything else. This could be subjective though

    Staff were very friendly and welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was very tasty. Good for parking

    Really cosy country pub in beautiful Derbyshire countryside. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful and the room was spacious and very clean. Good choice of tasty pub food and exceptionally well kept real ale.

    Nowhere - like a shelf or counter - to put your washbag in the bathroom. Sounds a bit daft, but quite annoying too! Not easy to plug your phone in to charge anywhere near your bedside table... Please include a normal 3-pin power socket on each side of the bed.

    A large bedroom/bathroom suite in the converted stable blocks. Friendly staff, good beer and generous food portions. A good 'Full English' the following morning, to set you up for the day ahead. All set in a pretty village location with some quirky architecture and building styles etc., which made my Chartered Surveyor girlfriend very happy!

    Just a couple of minor things. Bed a little too hard for me and the sausages at breakfast just average. Just expect a bit more quality with small independent accommodation.

    Lovely Pub/BnB. Nice rooms with good shower. Good pub food and beers. Staff extremely welcoming and friendly.

    Room was lovely - although the stairs were a little steep to get to the room. Dinner was great value! Only grumble would be - as a terrible sleeper the noise of the radiators kept waking me up!

    The stairs were scarily steep, but then it was a Debyshire cottage!

    The dinner I purchased was excellent pub food. And the breakfast in the morning was delicious and set me up for the whole day. Both were served with friendliness and courtesy.

    Nothing really. The stay was as expected.

    Spacious and comfortable room. Quiet so we had a good nights sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful. We ate in the pub and the food was enjoyable. TAJ IPA was very good; not come across that beer before. Excellant location for visiting Calke Abbey.
