Need more staff and a bit of TLC

In need of some tlc Room was nice and spacious- old fashioned furniture, boiling hot - apparently pipes run under the rooms which they cannot control the temperature of. A fan provided but of little use. Evening meal was nice although lack of staff meant a long wait for everything. Breakfast buffet average

Malcolm, 11-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was perfect & the hotel looks nice, although needs a bit of updating. Breakfast was very limited especially if a person doesn't like cooked breakfast, there wasn't anything else to eat apart from 2/3 types of cereals. To take a shower was an absolute nightmare as the shower head & knob was very old. Water pressure was awful which meant I couldn't stand under the shower head so I had to do everything single-handed. A quick shower turned to a very long one! Cleanliness was not great as spiders & spider webs were in many places of the room. Heating would not come on when needed as they set it a timer for it Reception never answer the phone whenever we rang, when we go to reception there were 2 people there!!
Sama, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location of the hotel is lovely. Once there some interesting places are within walking distance - Dovedale and Ilam for example.
Jane, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointed

Restaurant closed and no other in village. We were not told about this despite booking on the morning of our stay. Breakfast very poor, poor sausages,lack of eggs, my wife did it get gluten free bread despite prior notice. Room on ground floor no sound proofing, people upstairs sounded like they were in your own room. We have had lovely stays here before so very disappointed.
Keith, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was charming and fantastic location. The food, however was very basic, both dinner and breakfast.
Anita, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor service

Stayed before and it was good but this time the service in the restaurant was abysmal!! We had to wait more than 2 hours for food!!!!!!!!
Garrie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very pleasant hotel. Room spotless and comfortable. Wifi terrible but that is a small point. The kitchen was closed while we were there but breakfast was supplied although dinner not an option which was a pity. Lovely location and excellent waiters - very helpful and friendly.

Running on a shoe string

Awful menu choices,only in the bar area not the restaurant. One man running around doing everything,hence,the very slow service. Food was cold. Breakfast was worse,there was a permanent cry of "no eggs" staff were kind but not up to catering for a hotel full of guests. Shower was noisier that a pnematic drill and when using it there was tap no water! The TV didn't work as a TV only as a radio in the morning . The cups in the room were dirty.Beautiful views ! I came a few years ago and can't imagine that it will still be here in another couple. Running on a shoe string,about to snap!

Comfortable room though squeaky doors and broken chair. Bar food pricey but ordinary, breakfast sufficient but below expectations. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful setting in magnificent surroundings.

Beautiful location but service was slow

We had a lovely stay for one night. The hotel location is stunning and we were delighted to see this on arrival. We had a room with a beautiful view but the interior of the hotel was comfortable but quite dated. Dinner was delicious but we waited a long time for it. Breakfast was ok but we had to go and look for cutlery and ask for coffee as it wasn’t replaced. Overall it was ok and we would return.

Well located hotel within beautiful countryside, room good size and clean, breakfast OK but dinner menu very restricted -- ordered steak & ale pie but received chicken pie, offered a complimentary dessert but actually charged for it.
David, 2-night trip

A characterful property with a warm and comfortable atmosphere and excellent service. Location is perfect affording great and unspoilt views of dovedale, makes an ideal base for walkers. Would definitely recommend.
