Comfortabel en met van alles voorzien
Pros:

Prima plek om te verblijven, er is meer dan genoeg parkeerplaats. Op de parkeerplaats kan je ook je auto opladen, maar daarvoor heb je wel een andere pas nodig dan voor Nederland. De kamer was een beetje kleiner dan verwacht, maar goed genoeg voor een paar dagen, vooral als je de hele dag op pad bent. De kamer was voorzien van een badkamer met douche en wc met handdoeken die elke dag worden verschoond op aanvraag. Ook kan je er een strijkijzer en strijkbout vinden in de opbergkast. Er was ook een groot balkon aansluitend aan de kamer, waar wij helaas niet veel van gebruik hebben kunnen maken.
In de kamer hoor je vrij weinig van de bezoekers van de bar/restaurant zelf, ook al zit dit er praktisch naast.

Je moet inchecken in de bar/restaurant, en daardoorheen lopen als je naar je kamer wilt. Je hebt wel de optie om via de brandgang te lopen ‘s avonds of als je je koffers/tassen naar binnen wilt brengen. Eten zat niet inbegrepen, maar kan je wel kopen in het restaurant, er zijn meer dan genoeg opties voor ontbijt, lunch en avondeten, met overal 1 vegetarische keuze.

De locatie was ook goed te doen, ongeveer 15 minuten van Chatsworth house. Het verblijf is een mooie tussenstop naar Edinburgh, of een andere stad in het noorden, als je niet in één stuk wilt doorreizen.

Amazing place
Pros:

Amazing staff and awesome food. Staff went out of their way to make our stay brilliant. There was music coming up from the pub until around 2130 so I wish I had ear plugs with me but half nine is a reasonable time to stop. Would totally stay there again. Awesome breakfast too. Highly recommended

Cons:

It's a pub so there was a little noise from downstairs but it all went quiet after half nine which is fine

Great location, but over-priced
Pros:

An excellent location with great EV charging.

Cons:

Have stayed here several times over the years but sadly unlikely to do so again. The room was looking a little tired, particularly the bathroom (no plug in hand basin, taps needing replacement washers, shower cubicle tired, poor toilet flush, toilet roll holder hanging loosely). Also the locks to the room door and bathroom door need attention. The breakfast pricing is non-sensical - how can a large breakfast be the same price as a small one or the same as a bowl of granola and yoghurt?! Food quality is good, but pricing felt unfair. What a shame.

A charming place to stay, with lots of character.
Pros:

The property was really well maintained, with lots of parking, and great food if you wanted to eat there. The bedrooms are not too close to the main bar area so you don’t hear any noise. My room was very pretty with a high beamed ceiling and everything you need in it. I didn’t have much interaction with the staff but any that I did meet were very helpful and friendly.

Weekend wedding stay
Pros:

The whole pub and accommodation area was absolutely lovely, room was comfy and tidy the balcony area was perfect whilst it was hot, sunny weather as well.
We had food from the main menu on the Friday evening - absolutely delicious! We also had breakfast on the Saturday morning, again really lovely food! We didn't stay for Sunday lunch- but that also looked like it would have been incredible, so we will absolutely be back at some point!

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was fantastic!
