Smart comfortable cottage.
Pros:

Really comfortable, great shower, well equipped. A really nicely organised house. We arrived soaked from a long walk from Sheffield. It was really easy to dry our gear and we were made very welcome in the pub next door.

Cons:

Nothing

Super dog friendly hotel and pub
Pros:

On arrival the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was super clean and there was plenty of tea, coffee, milk (including oat milk) and biscuits. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. There was also plenty of space for a dog bed if you bring your dog. The bathroom had really nice quality hand and body wash and the shower worked well. The breakfast included was very nice, everything you could wish for in a cooked breakfast. They will do vegan sausages on request which again were lovely quality. It’s all serve yourself and everything was kept topped up. The hotel is very dog friendly which was fantastic. It also has its own car park.

Cons:

The bedroom floor was just plain floorboards without a rug which was a little cold in the evening but I certainly wouldn’t mark the hotel down for that.

It was acceptable for what was an overnight stay but don’t think I would want to stay there for a longer stay
Pros:

Where situated was very convenient. Lively and friendly bar close to centre of Hathersage the railway station and good walks

Cons:

Room was too hot and no ability to turn down heating Noisy corridor door banging all night. Breakfast was very average whilst we went towards the end of service food was sparse and only Luke warm. Certainly a friendly lively bar in the evenings

A traditional pub style in offering excellent service, good value and a premium location.
Pros:

My friend, his dog and I are on a motorcycle tour to Scotland and chose the hotel for is great location in the heart of the village and easy access to excellent local riding roads.
All the staff were really friendly and welcoming, making our stay most enjoyable. The bar area and adjoining rooms have recently been tastefully refurbished, whilst still retaining the character and open fires.
We ate in the bar and can highly recommend the chicken and tarragon pie, which can be washed down with a good choice of beers. Breakfast was buffet style with a good choice of cereals and freshly cooked options.
We felt the hotel exceeded our expectations and was excellent value.

Cons:

There is nothing to dislike.

Relaxing, enjoyable and much needed.
Pros:

Very friendly welcome from Jesse, informative and helpful. Room was lovely could open windows. Breakfast - plenty to eat excellent quality sausages and bacon. Relaxing

Cons:

If I had to say something, then the key was a bit fiddly to open the room door. But it is no big deal just petty.

Great stay
Pros:

Graham was very responisve over message before my stay and he made sure I could check in promptly. I was upgraded to a fabulous spacious room which was a nice surprise. There were towels, toiletries, and coffee/tea making facilities in the room.
The location is great and the hotel is newly refurbished.

Cons:

A few small suggestions/comments: it was a bit tricky to adjust the shower temperature, the bedside lamp is really dim, and there are no convenient plugs to charge phone etc near the bed. However, these are vert small inconveniences. Overall, a great stay!
