We've stayed a number of times, the fact that we go back should say a lot. The rooms really are as good as the photos show and the welcome by the staff and owners is always friendly.

At check out there was a problem with the Booking. com payment being recognised as we had already paid by credit card. This was an embarrassment to us and the landlord. Not a happy situation and the second time we have encountered this problem so will think long and hard before using the Booking.com website again.
The service and welcome both were excellent.

The facilities were close to excellent just a couple of negatives: The bathroom door wouldn't close tight and we like the option of an extra large double bed.
The setting is in an interesting village close to Calke Abbey and other places of interest. Our hosts were friendly and breakfast was great.

This is not your usual pub as it’s only open in the evening and didn’t have any atmosphere. The room we booked was quite small but it was supposed to be a superior room! The bathroom had holes in the walls where a mirror had been moved which looked quite shoddy.
The pub does good food staff are friendly.
