I spend 2 nights mid week at the boars head. The room was outside the main building and very well laid out wiyh toiletries and snacks. My only concern was the steep step to get into the room. There was traffic noise early mirnimg and evening but it didnt keep me awake All in all a lovely stay and i would return.

Spacious hotel and grounds with tree lined drive, large gardens and plenty of parking. The rooms were spacious and airy, the bar/restaurant had a welcoming feel and the food was lovely. All the staff were pleasant and cheerful, made our Peak District trip very memorable. Highly recommended, will definitely be staying here if visiting the area again.
