Lovely boutique hotel - would stay again.
Pros:

Beautiful Derbyshire pub located in an old part of Glossop opposite a church. Idylic. 15 min walk or 2 min taxi from the train station with views of the surrounding hills. Pure England!

Cons:

10am checkout time is just wrong.

Prima en fijn.
Pros:

Mooie locatie. Fijne plek.

Cons:

Helaas pech, die avond was het restaurant gesloten en alle drie de andere eetgelegenheden ook in Old Glossop. Omdat we met de fiets waren dus ook niet zo makkelijk verder weg kunnen gaan eten.

Welcoming, comfortable, clean, great location for splitting Pennine Way Stage 1 in half.
Pros:

We were in Glossop to walk, and staff were able to offer helpful bits of information.
Room was spacious, comfortable and clean, with everything we needed.
Breakfast was prompt and tasty. Landlady was really welcoming.
Free public carpark just across the road, which was a bonus, we had been worried about being able to park.

The pub was just what we needed for our stay. The only down side was the breakfast was down the road
Pros:

The breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

We were lucky the weather was dry. If it was raining I would not want to walk down for breakfast.

Would have been exceptional if breakfast had been within the venue and the sitting tenant had been more considerate.
Pros:

Nice room well presented. Good location.

Cons:

Breakfast was served at a partner pub a walk away.
The tenant above our room (1) had either the television or radio playing loudly until 1am then again at 6am sleeping was no an option. Not what I’d expected after such a long journey from Kent at £115.00 a night! Still waiting to hear from the manager after sending a report!

Fine. I could hear quiz night in the pub but was no bother. I would suggest it to friends.
Pros:

Nice place.

Cons:

There was a young gentleman who didn’t know how to check me in but after a short wait it was sorted when the owner (I presume) arrived.

Wonderful stay, great location for hiking. Super comfy bed!
Pros:

Great location, and very friendly staff! Very comfy bed, and great shower. Very spacious room. We had no problem at all going down to their sister pub for breakfast (also had a curry there one evening upstairs which was great). Free parking just over the road in a little local carpark, very convenient.

Cons:

Nothing!
