Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomBathroom a little dated, but perfectly adequate.
Lovely room, not very big, but cosy and tastefully furnished. The staff here are wonderful, especially the lady at check in and the young waitress at breakfast. A special touch - fresh milk available for the room. Location is perfect, only a few minutes from Chatsworth.

United KingdomI thought the car park was rather small for the accommodation. We struggled to get a parking space.
We stayed for Sunday lunch at the restaurant. The service was impeccable. The lady that took us to our room on Sunday the 24th was most helpful.

United KingdomThe weather was cold during our stay and it snowed. The bar area and dining room were cold in the evenings. On the second night we asked for the central heating in the dining room to be turned on as the radiators were stone cold. One or two diners kept their coats on! It got better once the radiators warmed up and we had an enjoyable meal. After dunner we went into the bar but the radiators in there were also cold. There was a wood burning stove but this was never lit even when it snowed. We would have stayed longer in the bar but because it just wasn’t cosy and warm we had one hot drink and went to our room.
Rooms are comfortable, friendly staff, good food and in an excellent position for visiting Chatsworth.

United StatesAbout half of the furniture was French Provincial painted white and looked like it came from a charity shop and was not befitting the overall style of the hotel. Wardrobe was flimsy and was not level. The hotel is dog friendly which means that dogs could have been in your room and you can be sitting in the dining room next to a dog. I completely disagree with 'dog friendly' policies as the hotel does not seem to care about guests that have allergies to dog hair. With a dog friendly policy, you attract some people but chase others away, like me.
Good breakfast in a nice atmosphere, good selection of food, comfortable chairs. Room was nice, but most of the furniture was white painted French Provincial and looked like it came out of a charity shop.

United KingdomWe stayed on a Wednesday night. I was surprised at how noisy it was in the room in the evening. We could hear music from the pub, which made it difficult for my youngest child to drift off. All quiet by 9pm though. The water pressure was not very good in either bathroom.
Lots of lovely walks close by. The staff were all very good indeed. The room was clean and ideal for what we wanted (family room). There were some bath ducks in the kids bathroom (separate bathrooms was an unexpected bonus) and some books in the kids room. I really liked the toiletries that I used. The breakfast was very good.

United KingdomNothing of note
Such a lovely hotel & pub. We stayed for 2 nights whilst exploring the Peak District. The hotel is walking distance to the grounds of chatsworth and a short drive to Bakewell. We were warmly greeted by Rachel, who let us know we had a complimentary upgrade to our room. We were travelling with our dog, who also got a little treat packet, that she was very happy with! Room was beautiful, with plenty of space and a secure courtyard that made it so much easier with the dog. Breakfast had a good choice of hot & cold options (Pancakes were amazing!), and our evening meal with lovely. (We recommend the pie!). We would definitely stay again!
