    The breakfast

    Some parts of the hotel were in need of a lick of paint and the breakfast wasn't great (all our eggs were hard and the muffins were solid! BUT the staff were exceptional.

    The bed was not very comfortable and very unstable. The room was tired, wallpaper peeling from the wall and carpet really tired and threadbare. Breakfast was ok but no fresh fruit available. The food on the second night was nowhere near as good as the first night. Half the size and my dish was supposed to come with buttered greens. There were 4 limp green beans. The food was not worth the price we paid. We spoke to the waitress and she said the manager would speak to us in the morning. No one spoke to us.

    Excellent meal on the first night of our stay. Shower was very hot and had good pressure. All staff were very polite. Location excellent and very convenient for walks around Chatsworth.

    Amie and her team are fabulous. Amie went nothing short of above and beyond. The team are all polite and welcoming, I wanted to return before I’d even checked out. I noticed that dogs are very welcomed here to by staff so I will be returning with my companion in toe, looking forward to returning very soon. Thank you Amie and team x

    Rooms were subject to a lot of noise, due to problems with “shower pump” currently being moved downstairs. We were only informed about this on arrival. The tv in the next room was directly behind the headboard in our room, we could hear every word from to all evening. No Prosecco, no salmon no mackerel no fish and chips available on the menu NO WIFI AVAILABLE FOR THE WHOLE OF OUR STAY, again only informed of this on arrival

    Location was good, staff were visible and friendly

    It is an average pub and not a country pub with any luxury. The double beds are very short and uncomfortable. Hot water ran out both evenings.

    Good location for hikes and Chatsworth house. It is a half hour walk to Chatsworth The staff are friendly

    Wifi. Couldn't access the cloud, not sure if that was offered by the property but it wouldn't connect. Not the end of the world not to have it, but 4g was patchy on my phone due to location - to be expected in a rural setting though.

    Good breakfast, made to order. Very tasty. Bedroom was great, had our own outdoor area next to the stream with a lovely sofa and four poster style bed. Bed was very comfy. Service for dinner and from the bar was excellent. Our waitress was brilliant- apologies, I forget her name but she was great!

    Room was very small, a lot of background noise from plumbing through the night, the bed was a small double. Dogs in the restaurant, pretentious menu selection for dinner and not cheap either, very limited breakfast menu, coffee bags used at breakfast first time ever experienced this in a hotel. Very disappointing overall and regrettably would not recommend, extremely overpriced. The only plus is the excellent staff.

    Good location for our purpose.

    Rooms were tired and need attention, entrance to hotel unmanned and staff area open to guests, bed was terrible and food very basic and expensive with no atmosphere in pub, breakfast was packed away before finished so I was unable to have any toast or second coffee. No hot water in evening and shower broken. The bedroom furniture was Argos standard.

    Nothing really

    Lovely hotel in a cracking village with great staff & service

    • Stayed 1 night

    We were in room 4 which is a small room that we were aware of prior to arrival so no issues there. However this room is clearly next to the heat/water pump system that should go off at 2230hrs and come back on at 0730hrs. Unfortunately I had to ask for it to be switched off at 2330hrs and it actually came on at 0700hrs and trust me it makes a right noise for the duration that it's on and in room 4 there is no avoiding it so please be aware of this. In fairness the staff did say there will be refurb next year and this will resolve the matter.

    great location and the staff were fantastic, even arranged a bottle of prosecco in our room as a birthday treat, what a lovely touch and a nice surprise. Breakfast was lovely and just topped off a really enjoyably stay in a lovely little village with a couple of cracking pubs and a nice little Italian restaurant.

    The room and bed were small for a property that we paid 153.00 on a Monday night. The bedroom was tired and the food was expensive. £24.00 for a pie that would be £15.00 to £17.00 anywhere else.

    The location was good as we had been to Chatsworth House for the day
