Staff frequently praised as friendly, helpful and attentive (reception and breakfast staff singled out), though a number of reviews mention inconsistent or cool meet-and-greet and front-of-house communication issues.

A night away in excellent location with lovely friendly staff.
Pros:

Property in an ideal location with free parking. Beds really comfy and slept well. Complimentary toiletries and tea, coffee and biscuits. Breakfast included in the price and they don’t skimp on portions. We struggled to eat ours.
Check in quick and easy and greeted by friendly staff.

Cons:

Bathroom starting to look a little tired as we have stayed there two years ago.

Pros:

The location was great, Castleton is a beautiful little village. We were able to park in the car park across the road for free. The room was spacious and nicely decorated, the bathroom had Jack and Jill sinks and a Jacuzzi bath. There were additional oil filled radiators in the room so we could make it as cosy as we wanted. The pub restaurant served excellent burgers and a tasty breakfast.
