The pub is right next to Lady Bower Reservoir and makes a great location to either drive to places such as Edale, Castleton or to walk straight from. We walked from the pub in the morning up to Bamford Edge. The view in the morning just makes you feel great.
The service is very good. For the price, the hotel rooms were great, being clean, relatively spacious and nicely laid out. We had a family room and there was a double bed and 2 singles, no strange surprises when we got there (which happens sometimes with family rooms, like 2 double beds or a sofa bed).
The pub itself was splendid. The food was good, (in particular the pie, the soup and the breakfast in the morning). The beer was good and the staff were really friendly and made you feel at home.
We’d definitely go back again and look forward to it. I think it’s going to be a regular place now as we’ve tired of the unpredictable nature of camping outside of the summer months!
