Very friendly staff

Great service, very kind and friendly check in. The rooms are simple and you have to pay for the towels, but then again- the price of accommodation definitely justifies the payment for extras. Has a bar, open until 11pm. And it is genuinely all you need for a night stay. Also offers breakfast, full english for £9.99. And it is perfectly located for the Monsal Trail and ither walks.

Great Place Fabulous Location

I've stayed here a number of times because it has a great location for seeing the Peak District. Everyone is friendly and service is great. Don't expect a palace as this is a well loved and well used place.
