Pros:

Location excellent for the end of the Pennine Way

Cons:

Quite expensive in comparison to other hotels on the Pennine Way, but appreciate maybe that’s due to its location.

Cons:

Got a text when I was 15 mins away that it was cancelled due to a leak which was a lot of rubbish as we were notified by someone local in the village that they were renovating the place and it had been shut looking before the day of arrival. This could have been a disaster for me as I was due to start an event the next morning in the village. They could have let me know long before the day off check in that the room was available, totally unacceptable!

Nice stay, pleasant helpful staff, nice location, we will be back. Parking on site.
Pros:

Staff was pleasant and helpful, bar and meal was fine, nice real log fire in the bar, bedroom small but clean and plenty on hot water, a good size TV. Breakfast was a large cooked breakfast with options of continental breakfast, yogurts, cereals and toast, juices etc. The bedroom and en-suite was warm. Quiet location.

Cons:

I would have liked a super king sized bed, which is what I have at home, the bed was a normal size double and very small and very squeaky. Which, I would have been prepared to pay a little extra for. Everything else was fine.
