Classic en suite student accommodation. Very satisfied. Spotlessly clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable, value for money. Quiet location with views across fields looking at rolling hills and livestock. Location makes it very accessible to any part of the Peak District.

A basic English breakfast however it was tasty and cooked to a high standard. Continental choices were also on offer. reception and service staff were friendly and accommodating.

I arrived out-of-hours. Instructions how to obtain my room key and parking instructions were clear and concise.

Pros:

De locatie de rust en de heilige sfeer

Cons:

De inrichting van de overigens ruime kamer en badkamer. Met een beetje aandacht is er veel meer comfort te bereiken.

Great location but pretty average.
Pros:

Great location. Pleasant receptioninst

Cons:

Room heating was on full blast in summers and reception closed at 5 pm so no one was available to help. Also requested for a fan but didn’t receive a reply to my sms to the out of hours contact. Room was changed next day but had to take all the luggage uphill. Also both me and my wife got sick after breakfast on the first day.
