The hotel is nestled in a beautiful area surrounded by the rolling hills of the Peak District, offering amazing views all around. The rooms provide a partially true but stunning view over Dovedale towards Thorpe Cloud and are equipped with good tea making facilities, including a tea pot. The service had some issues with a new member of staff on reception, but overall, they were friendly and accommodating. The location is fantastic for walks in the Peak District, with a lovely proximity to the river. The dining experience was delightful with hot food freshly cooked to order and a fantastic view of the Derbyshire Peak District. The facilities were great, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside of the Peak District and equally gorgeous views over the mountains. The rooms feature spa baths, providing a luxurious touch. However, there were some issues with hot water availability and kitchen service. The location is amidst the rolling hills, providing a scenic and peaceful atmosphere, but there were challenges due to unexpected weather conditions.
