Excellent bed an breakfast in the Peak District run by friendly hosts. The room was impeccably clean and of a good size, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was modern and recently renovated. It is above the pub, which we also liked because it was possible to get dinner there - good 'pub grub' fayre. They also serve an excellent traditional English breakfast. Very happy to recommend this property to others.

Recent weekend stay

Start with the positives, the staff couldn’t have been nicer, breakfast was really good. However the room was v tired, scuffed walls, cobwebs but everything you needed was in there. Remote didn’t work the tv which wasn’t a huge issue but the seal on the shower kept falling off and water ended up in the bathroom floor. We did report it and they provided extra towels.

Nice and cosy for the weekend.

The overall stay was fine. Really good food. The only reason I'm giving 5 stars for service is because of the young lad behind the bar. He was very welcoming and polite. We did notice him training other staff and giving instructions on how to do tasks properly as they clearly didn't know what they were doing all the while staying calm and content. Also kudos to the man who served us breakfast.

Basics were satisfactory and room clean and comfortable with all facilities working.
However, the room was not touched during our stay; no bed-making, waste paper bin not emptied; tea and milk not replenished. This may have been due to staff shortages from vacancies notice displayed.
Short menu, evening meals, fresh veg, well cooked.
Perhaps too many dogs around.

Perfect For Everything! Highly recommended!

My partner and I booked this accommodation for 1 night of our 2 night trip exploring the Peak District, we are gutted we didn't stay here for the 2nd night! The room was very clean and inviting, the bed was super comfy, all room amenities included, lovely big towels and a modern well kept feel. The room definitely benefits from not being carpet - I feel it's so much cleaner especially in these hiking/walking locations so A* for that too!
We had dinner and breakfast here and couldn't fault either meals, service was spot on, food was yummy and piping hot! Barney, the four legged assistant was very handsome, we enjoyed his side eye at breakfast for a bit of sausage and he was a pleasure to have dine with us. We don't plan on heading up again for a while but we wouldn't entertain staying anywhere else. Everything was very easy to get to from this location, the views from the carpark/ room window were lovely and an all rounder ticking all the boxes for us.

First and last stay!

I was given a room which was the extension of the bar.The walls were made of wood with no windows anywhere in the accommodation.
I was hugely disappointed and angry as it not the room seen in the pictures (with window and plastered walls)when I booked the room in hotels.com website.
The cleanliness was shocking with few spiders spotted in the room, dirty sofa, toilet and stinking of wood from the wooden walls.
This place have put my family at risk of catching covid with nil ventilation, 11year old child was scared to sleep with spiders in the property and pungent wood smell triggered my wife’s wheeze.
As a result, the whole family didn’t have a sound sleep.
I also felt that I was hugely discriminated due to my race providing an unpleasant room different to others stayed on that day.
I didn’t pay such a huge price for such a worst experience of my 15 years travel life.
I feel that hotels. com has to take full responsibility and refund me fully for putting me and my family through this grim experience.

Great location, tired room

Set in an amazing location, and with great access to walks and bike rides.
The staff were great at providing information on changes due to Covid and all was very clear. And they were really friendly when we had dinner in the pub.
The main disappointment was the room. The mattress was well overdue being replaced, the curtains just a bit too small with one curtain rail starting to fall off. The wooden flooring and thin ceiling also meant we could hear a lot from upstairs. This meant that on the whole the room didn't feel like it matched the price we paid. From reading other reviews potentially other rooms have been refurbished recently, and hopefully this room is next.
Breakfast was a takeaway bag of bread for toast, orange juice, packaged muffin and packaged croissant. A reasonable breakfast but we would have loved to have something fresher or more varied, and a side table or something to eat at in the room. Having said that we also understood that this was making the best of a difficult situation.

Lovely hotel, in a beautiful part of the world. The room was clean, spacious and light.
The only thing I would have liked was the option of a cooked breakfast. The continental breakfast was nice, but having the option of cooked would have been better. However, I knew this when I booked the room so it’s not a complaint, just personal preference.
Overall a very enjoyable stay, friendly and helpful staff and a stunning location.

We stayed at Millstone on a miserable, wet Thursday night. This meant there were few other people in the pub and we were unable to use the terrace overlooking the valley, which was a shame.
From the start, staff tried hard to make us welcome and we were given clear information on changes to normal procedures caused by Covid. This included an explanation of breakfast arrangements.
Our room was basic, but very clean and recently refurbished. We ate in the pub that evening and enjoyed a good meal from a typical pub menu. Staff were constantly cleaning when not dealing with customers, which was reassuring.
Breakfast the next morning was a takeaway bag of croissant, muffin and bread for toast. A toaster was available for use. A carton of orange juice was included and there were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. In decent weather we could have sat on the terrace to eat breakfast, but continued rain meant we had to sit in our room.
Overall we felt that staff were trying hard to make the best of difficult circumstances.

Awful experience

On arrival we were not informed of Covid-19 restrictions during our stay. There were no towels in our room and nobody was available to provide us with any that evening or the next morning. Breakfast was a takeaway packed lunch that we had to eat in our room - even though the restaurant is open in the evening for reservation and walk-ins, residents aren't able to have a breakfast in the restaurant which doesn't make sense.

The room was not cleaned and no towels provided, no re-stocking of tea / coffee cups so we had no facilities for the second evening or the next morning. When we brought this up with the management they did not seem to care and just blamed their staff and Covid-19. They gave us a couple of towels (still not enough to last the length of our stay) and said they would sort the other issues but did not. There was no apology or want to fix these problems.

Had we been told there were limited services when checking-in and there been enough towels, cups, coffee etc. in our room to last the duration of the stay it would have been more pleasant but it is very obvious the management are using Covid-19 as an excuse to take advantage of saving costs in areas that suit them only.

Food service was not great, no table service in-line with most restaurant practices to support social distancing, our waiter disappeared and kitchen closed whilst we were still looking at the menus so we weren't able to finish our meal.

VERY disappointing for £150 p/night. Avoid.

Nice friendly atmosphere. Room was cold and radiators didn't work well. I think previous occupants had been fiddling with the valves and turned them off but this could have been checked. I think they also need bleeding as warm at bottom, cold at top.
Slight problem with the bill as I had prepaid with hotels.com but was told on check out that no payment had been received. When I checked later the payment had definitely been made to hotels.com so they sorted out a refund.
Real ale good and also breakfast good. All staff very friendly. Nice open fires and wood burners.

Nice location, too many important flaws

This was my fifth hotel I have stayed at in the Peak District over the past 4 years whilst i go hill walking. This was not as good as the others. I stayed for 2 nights.
On the positive side, it is easy to access and with a large car park. The staff were very friendly and appeared welcoming and the pub had great beers! My room had a nice comfy bed, a good sized TV and of reasonable size, although the bathroom was shall we say, small.
On the negative however:
1. Noisy room at night due to a water taking filling next door.
2. Bathroom not cleaned or dirty towels replaced and coffee.milk cartons not refreshed.
3. No wifi (at all!) despite advertising to the contrary. I could however have used 3 neighbouring property's wifi's with excellent signals (if they were not password protected).
4. Other than the eggs, cooked breakfast was not up to much ( overdone sausages and bacon).
I am limited in characters on this review to write more, but you get the idea. I think they were short of staff (I saw a \"stafff wanted\" board outside) and if so, it might account for part of my gripes, but not the wifi.

Room with a view

Situated near the top of a hill the hotel has a super view of the Derbyshire countryside. The staff are friendly and efficient. The room was large and well equipped. There is a limited variety of cold breakfast items but a good choice of hot breakfast food. The only criticism I have is that our room faced the road and although it provided a wonderful view the lights from the traffic were quite intrusive at night even with the curtains closed. There is quite a lot of traffic as it is on the main road.
It is about a 20 minute walk down into Hathersage and a short distance by car to the Longshaw Estate and Padley Gorge. Bakewell is easy to get to and not too far.
