Pros:

Location was good for event we were going to. Room was good, very clean and ideal for over night visit.

Breakfast was ok. Poached eggs slightly over cooked. No Choice of eggs given for full breakfast. No smoked salmon available.Would have preferred fresh coffee.

Pros:

We left early in the morning for a hospital appointment, so we didn't eat breakfast. We had our evening meal there though, and that was excellent. We arrived at school finishing time, and there's a primary school across the road. It was lovely to see the hotel allows parents to use their car park for the brief period to pick up their kids from school.

Cons:

Two small points. The bed was bit soft and squidgy for me. The shower didn't have any sort of anti-slip mat, and it was incredibly slippy. To tell the truth I can't understand how nobody has broken something yet?

Dreadful experience
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The whole stay was a shambles. The bedroom was so small, the cupboard in our room was full of towels and bedding for the 4 rooms they have, the wardrobe space was taken up by fans and ironing board, there was nowhere to put clothes or luggage - we couldn't use the balcony because we had to store our luggage in front of it. the bed was so small and so hard we didn't sleep. The hot water tap in the bathroom was so strong it splashed everywhere including on the floor and the water was boiling hot so a possibility of being burnt. The first night we had a party of 7 for dinner, 3 people sent their meals back and the rest said their food was hardly warm, lunchtime the next day we ordered 2 sandwiches on different breads and they got them the wrong way round! The amount of time we had to wait at the bar to be served was ridiculous, because half the staff were talking and not being alert to customers needing service. This hotel was recommended to us as we were at a wedding nearby, we booked for 2 nights but preferred to drive home late at night rather than spend the 2nd night in that room. Did we get a bad deal or not? I don't know but certainly wouldn't recommend it and wont be back again, amongst the worst service and hotel room we have had worldwide - dreadful

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

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.

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.
