“The situation here is superb for walkers, with direct access to trails and a short drive to Bakewell, and the surrounding woodland garden is quite something. My focus, however, settles on the genuinely superb food - elevated pub fare using local produce, enjoyed with attentiveness from the staff. Breakfast, too, was a considerable highlight, proving the value in an overnight stay.”
