The place was very well maintained and very quaint. The food was amazing - both dinners and breakfasts. The staff was friendly and helpful - we ran into a couple of them in the (very) little town when they were not working and they were very friendly.

Lovely place. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was a delight sitting outside. The room was clean and meet our needs but very small. For one night while touring it was fine but if staying a few days of all for the largest room they have. Ours might have been an outlier size wise. Otherwise it was a great place. The town is small and quiet and very near Bakewell which has more to see and do. Also near the Chatsworth Estate worth visiting and the Monsal Trail' great for bike rental and walking.
