Gardens, claw-foot tub and gourmet food.
Loved this inn! Will probably return to Derbyshire just to stay here. It was a large comfortable room (very comfortable bed!) with a claw foot tub. The food was gourmet, and the setting was idyllic. I oogled over the gardens, and enjoyed the cows in the neighbouring field.

The staff were lovely , very obliging and professional. We had a very nice bedroom very clean, just too many steps for my husband, however the young man on the desk when we arrived carried up our case, which we were very grateful for . The food in the restaurant was excellent really enjoyed breakfast , the whole hotel was very clean, set in beautiful gardens
