Dirty and rather smelly ,overpriced, and not that good regarding Sunday lunch. Much nicer ,fresher, and reasonably priced places in the area We booked because we thought it was a nice day, the place would be heaving .very small group of people at lunchtime. I am not surprised at that after the experience.

Best food I’ve had out in a long time, really top notch and the staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful. We were so pleased that we chose to stay here for our short break in the Peak District, we will definitely be returning in due course..

Food was lovely and an imaginative menu but don’t go if you’re hungry - portions are tiny. Roast dinner had one, yes one, potato. Cardinal rule of any restaurant should be ‘Don’t let your customers leave hungry’. Raised it with the manager but his response was ‘no-one else has complained’.

This cosy pub had been dressed for Christmas and looked lovely when we arrived, we stayed in a room at the front on the road side which is noisy early morning. The room was cosy although tired, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We ate in the restaurant in the evening my husband had the roast turkey dinner and it was not worth the £22 three sprouts cut in half and one pigs in blanket !! two slices of meat but he thinks one was pork the fact he couldn't tell doesn't bode well. The breakfast however was very good and plentiful. The lady at breakfast was very friendly.

Excellent dinner on a busy Friday evening. The chefs know what they are doing for sure. Quality meals - so you get what you pay for. The guinea fowl and crème brûlée were particularly good. Chatsworth Gold ale well kept too. If you’re lucky you can sit in the armchairs by the fire too! We Will certainly return.

Food offering is really good, well priced and good portions. Very much had a lovely lunchtime - lovely and quieter it being on a Saturday in November. Enjoyed so much that we will be back with our walking friends for our usual pre-Christmas get together.

This really is a review of two halves. First the good. The bar and waiting staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Particularly Karen. The food was excellent. However, we had booked the deluxe room for three nights and this was a huge disappointment. The room was really tired with dingy brown walls and carpet and old furniture and fittings. It certainly didn't deserve a description of 'deluxe'. It was at the back so quiet but I think the rooms at the front would be noisy as the Inn is on a busy main road.

Went here for food and a drink after a walk at Curbar Edge. The staff are lovely, the interior is cosy. The food came quick and it was hot. I would recommend the Korean BBQ Ciabatta. We didn’t stay but I can imagine the rooms offer the same comfort and vibe.
