The staff were very friendly, dinner (fish and chips) and breakfast (full English) were both superb and our room was perfect.

A usb port would have been handy but not a deal breaker.

Very happy with our stay lovely room great breakfast ideally located
Pros:

Planned a last minute visit to Bolsover castle and needed an overnight stay, couldn’t have picked a better more convenient place it’s right next door.

Arrived at 3:30 met by friendly staff who showed us to the room it was clean with a lovely bathroom a TV with plenty to view comfy bed and a nice bar downstairs.

We didn’t sample the dinners as we had already booked elsewhere but they looked very nice.

We had a breakfast though in the morning which was lovely, full English with orange juice and tea, all the food was quality on the plate we couldn’t fault the breakfast at all.

All in all good value great location lovely staff nice room would stay again when over that way.

Cons:

If I was too be picky just the steepness of the stairs on the top floor, we were aware though so took our time but may not suit everyone maybe request one on lowest floor if it is likely to be an issue.
