The Manifold Inn was pretty much as was expected. Lovely location. Once reception was found (not immediately obvious coming from the car park), check in was quick.

Room was simple and a little tired but the biggest issue for me was the unlined curtains which barely cut out any light. I would expect blackout blinds or curtains these days. There was also loud snoring coming from the room above which didn't aid restful sleep. I realise this isn't within the property's control and maybe I was unlucky with the other client nearby. The shower was good.

The cooked breakfast was good and set me up for the day's walking!

Needs upgraded and cleaned

We used this as a base for Alton Towers so only required a place to sleep. The cottage was very dated and has not been properly cleaned in a while. One sofa bed was broken and we didnt have space to open ot up anyway. Luckily there was another foldaway sinhle bed that we put in yhe kitchen.
The bathrooms were not good. Carpets on the floor which was a bit disgusting. The showers switch from hot to cold and many fittings were loose.
It has a nice charm to it but desperately needs cleaned and updated. Toiletries, teas and coffees were not replaced. Its clear that this is a bar that has some old rooms that they can profiteer out of. The bar seems to allow dogs which is unsanitary when they serve food.
Not worth the money

It was after 8 pm - we had been driving in pelting rain for 5 hrs. There was a really nice lady the next morning who greeted us for breakfast and was very friendly and nice so that was nice.

We'll be using this place again

We've stayed before and used the same room (Inn Keepers Cottage) has everything you need and more. We used as a stopping point only so just 1 night, this is not a 5 Star hotel, it's a lovely mini apartment attached to a nice and friendly pub in a rural location, so if your looking for a super modern hotel feel, it's not that, much more homely and while it is clearly an old building it's well looked after with a quirky layout.

From the outside it was very nice. However in the room, the shower hadn’t been cleaned properly. There was dust and hair on the floor of the shower which we cleaned ourselves. The amount of hair was unreal.

The bedroom was nice but it had a massive winter duvet on and in this heat wasn’t needed.

The bar it self was dedicated to the residents with some social distancing. The table we sat at for food was right next to another couple which was less than 2 meters. People kept coming through the doors and repeatedly the staff told customers to use the outside bar up in the field.

Not sure what people didn’t understand. Also our table hadn’t been cleaned so we cleaned it ourselves.

Comfort in heart of the Peak District

An amazing roadside inn that provides historic color and country fare along with thoroughly modern rooms in a renovated annex across the driveway. The bed was so soft and the bath high-end and new. I indulged with a meal and wine the pub, which was filled with conversation and laughter. Service was friendly and the location in the heart of the Peak District is picture perfect.
