Guest Reviews
Very nice property in just the right place for our requirements. Staff were very pleasant and food was very good.
A perfect location for our family party at Ticknall Village Hall. Breakfast was great and after a walk to and around Calke Abbey we very much enjoyed our Sunday dinner. Our rooms were quiet, the bed was king-size and we were given a front door key for private access.
The room was a little too hot but the fan helped.
Fantastisch verblijf
The welcome wasn’t as friendly as it could have been- very matter of fact and given how hot it was simple things like iced water might have made me feel valued.
Great room, well appointed and spacious. Had asked for a cool room given heat wave but there was no fan in the room and the towel rail was super hot which I couldn’t turn off. Other than that, a lovely place to stay, clean, great staff and location was excellent.
breakfast was nice and very nice accommodating staff
Our room was extremely hot and no windows to open or air conditioning
Location and friendly staff.
The room was very hot because of the weather.
A very welcoming pub with rooms. We had a comfortable bed and an excellent breakfast. Our evening meal was good quality and the staff were all really friendly. It’s in a great place when visiting Calke Abbey and it’s a great overnight stopping place. Excellent value too.
We had a small room and the stairs were a bit of a climb. Nothing unusual though and it had a lovely view over gardens and was so quiet. We’d happily stay again.
Lovely country pub with rooms, only booked on the day we stayed, great location, friendly and helpful staff.
Nice beer garden, and food - evening meal was lovely and great breakfast following morning.
Although didn’t have our dog with us, is dog friendly and we will visit again
Very characterful. It was in a quiet location and had good parking.

Property was as explain and show in the images. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Nothing
Very polite and helpful staff. Nice and quiet location, right next to a bus stop. The bed was really comfy with a thick duvet and pillows. Parking is easy to access and the rooms are directly above the pub, where they also serve food
Room can get a bit chilly and I couldn’t get the heating on. Bring an electric blanket if you get cold easily. The bathroom is good but could use more ventilation. Also there were a couple of carpet beetles, which can become a problem if they get in your luggage. Lastly, the room doors aren’t numbered
The room was very nice. The decoration and size were great.
Let us a gift for our wedding celebration
Definitely recommend it to others
Nothing really. We had a few spiders but I appreciate them for the building and area.
Good location for Donington Park, room clean and comfortable, staff welcoming and friendly, excellent breakfast.
Couldn’t use the restaurant as it was closed for refurbishment, though the owner did inform us a few days beforehand.
