It was what was expected of a Marstons. Food was good pub food. Good variety of drinks including real ale. Nice sitting out areas, plenty of car parking. Room was comfortable and clean although a little dated. A larger than usual room however which was nice. The staff were lovely. Nice and quiet and just 5 minutes off the A38.
We had a good stay at the property, staff was very friendly and helpful, bed was huge and very comfortable, comfy pillows too, nice specious room which was tad dated but was clean enough not to spoil our stay. Good pub attached to the hotel, great that it had little play area to keep little ones happy and on the day we arrived there was a bouncy castle which was huge bonus. I would have been happier if breakfast was a bit better. There wasn't a huge choice for the continental breakfast and had to ask for items to be replenished which may have been due to just one staff on shift which is fine as occupancy wasn't huge. All in all good stay, convenient for Peak District visit, helpful and pleasant staff and good meal in the restaurant.
