We went to Bull at Foolow for our anniversary hike we do every year. The Inn is absolutely picturesque, loved the vibe of the interior and the surounding area is beautiful as well. The food is something out of this world. You would not expect such a high level cuisine in the middle of Peak District. The staff and locals down the restaurant/pub were real friendly which made this experience even better. We are definitelly coming back as soon as we can.

Awesome stay. Gorgeous pub serving delicious food. Staff were brilliant, even got us toothpaste from one of their houses as we had forgotten it and arrived late. Only negative was the breakfast time only ran from 8:30-9am (Monday). I didn't make it as I wanted to enjoy a sleep in.
