A wonderfully run family owned business that makes everyone feel welcome, with absolutely amazing staff an outstanding choice and quality of food that the chef should be proud of, the combinations of flavour and choice at first glance are unusual but compliment each other perfectly. A wonderful little gem hiding in the Derbyshire countryside with uninterrupted views, wonderful atmosphere and fantastic facilities would recommend this to anyone who appreciates a real country hotel.

Good food, nice staff, quiet, outside space for kids to play. We were impressed by the quality of food.

Ioan, United Kingdom

The location is spot on, very close to Peak District. We stayed in a chalet which was plenty of room for me and my partner and pooch. The breakfast was lovely! Full English and a variety of fruit and cereals and pastries also! They also have a dog friendly area at the bar which is chose to eat in there as we had the dog with us, very welcoming and food was lovely typical home cooked pub grub. All the staff were lovely and helpful.

눉The cockerel was very noisy from 3.30 am every day and throughout the rest of the day, not a good start to any day when you plan a full day on the go on all 3 days. I am sure the kids loved it however I did not book a farm to stay on thanks. Nor the 2 rooms either side of my room when the party went on until 1.30 am on Saturday night.
눇I had 3 main meals and 3 breakfasts all of which were very good

눉Rooms - if we had seen pictures of the outside of the rooms we would not have booked. Looked like prefabricated 1960/70s building. Room decor particularly walls looking tired. Bathrooms need updating. Room rate of 113.50 too much. Expected better quality.
눇Substantial breakfast. Fab facilities if you have children to keep occupied.

“Average Stay, book only the newly build property..”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Two-Bedroom Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Initially, I was taken to a smelly, dingy 2 bedroom suite that I had booked. It was no where close to a difinition of suite. It had 2 sepearte bedrooms with no living area. The corridor was dark and smelly. Thankfully, they gave us 'Tissington' suite which are the newly built ones. If you want to book here, only take the newly built property.
