United KingdomVery friendly and welcoming staff! Spacious and comfortable room with good food on offer. A great two night stay
United KingdomVery warm welcome by waitress behind bar and later one of the owners. Excellent food, good menu. Nice room.
United KingdomA very pleasant stay in a lovely B&B/pub. Very well run, clean and an excellent location. John & Jane have only run it since post-lockdown (though both very experienced in hospitality) & they've done a great job with the place. The room was very nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and comfortable. I ate in every night & the meals were really lovely. Breakfast was really nice too. Good choice of ales too. The village itself is very picturesque, loads of walks in the area & 2 fairly large reservoirs very close by.
United KingdomThe hotel is located in a beautiful village in Derbyshire, surrounded by lots of walking routes. The actual accommodation itself was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The pub serves delicious food and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.
