“Relaxed after Lathkil”

Fabulous views across Lathkil Dale from both our bedroom (located at the front - Room 1) and the restaurant/bar. Staff were friendly, courteous and knowledgable (in helping us decide which areas to visit locally). Atmosphere was excellent, warmly welcomed. Food was, in my opinion, excellent, a good variety for all including vegetarian options (I'm not vegetarian), well cooked, well presented. The right amount of service at meal times without 'intrusion', enough to check that we had everything we needed and that the food was to our satisfaction without 'bothering' us - as I have experienced elsewhere. Breakfast was also very nice. For the drinkers among you, there are local ales on tap to sample in the evening to wind down after a day of hillwalking or sightseeing locally, reasonably priced too. The hotle is located about 2 miles from the town of Bakewell, about 5 minutes by car realistically, and is located well for other locations by car too, Buxton, Ashbourne, Edale, Matlock, Derwent reservoirs are all not too far away by car and there are plenty of walks around and about locally to keep you interested. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall not too far away either. When I left I felt relaxed and as if I had actually had a break, normally I feel like I need a break after a trip away!! A big thumbs up to the proprietor and his family/staff, will certainly consider re-visiting in future, good value for money overall, not the cheapest around but great value.
