We stopped off here for lunch on our way to see High Force and had a delicious meal served by kind and friendly staff. It's a lovely place, my young son loved his meal here too. Definitely recommend this place!

Enjoyed one night stay here. The bedroom clean and tidy but very tired and dated however the food was superb. The evening meal was delicious. Drinks very reasonably priced and excellent service from the staff especially the lady at breakfast. Although the room was disappointing we cant wait to make a return visit

We have stayed here at few times but I doubt we would go back, the rooms have gone from shabby to uncomfortable and
this meant we did not sleep well. The food is interesting. It used to have old school charm. But nowadays it's just a bit too tired. I have to say the staff although young were very attentive. Wouldn't recommend
