A great pub with rooms with outstanding staff
Pros:

The ambience was perfect, the pub area was smart but at the same time cosy.
Rooms were modern and clean, with wonderful comfy beds, we all slept like logs.
The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to help.
The food was tasty and freshly cooked, the wine list is extensive.

Cons:

I'm being very picky here but the coffee at breakfast was poor and the water provided to make the tea wasn't hot enough.

We had a good night stay but the standard wasn’t quite what I had expected , though the bar food and evening staff were
Pros:

The staff were super friendly , the evening bar food was beautifully presented and delicious - the rooms had comfortable beds, nice sheets and nice little touches in room.

Cons:

The rooms themselves were old and a bit cramped and decor a bit dated , floors very creaky and uneven , the breakfast was not good

Great location, Great hospitality, Great price, Great food, Great stay!
Pros:

The Inn was very clean and the bed was very comfortable . I liked the finishing little touch like the complimentary tipple for a nightcap, wellies, maps etc.
The food was very nice and well priced, good selection of items on the menu. Breakfast was cooked to order and not the cattle market buffets you get at some hotels. I asked for coriander and lime with the avocado on toast with eggs and was supplied no problem.
The staff were very attentive at all times and nothing was too much trouble. we were concerned about noise with this being an Inn, but last orders were 9:30 pm which was great so not noisy at all and had a good nights sleep.
There were tables outside for a breath of fresh air either at the front or the back of the Inn and plenty of room to park the car. Great location just 10 min drive to Chatsworth house and 5 mins to the Chatsworth farm shop, which we visited.
Bakewell is also very close by so the Inn is ideally positioned for sight seeing and will be looking to stay again and recommend the inn highly.

Cons:

Everything was very nice , there was nothing not to like to be honest.
