"Welcoming and comfortable village pub."

9.0

A very welcoming pub with rooms. We had a comfortable bed and an excellent breakfast. Our evening meal was good quality and the staff were all really friendly. It’s in a great place when visiting Calke Abbey and it’s a great overnight stopping place. Excellent value too.

We had a small room and the stairs were a bit of a climb. Nothing unusual though and it had a lovely view over gardens and was so quiet. We’d happily stay again.

Very polite and helpful staff. Nice and quiet location, right next to a bus stop. The bed was really comfy with a thick duvet and pillows. Parking is easy to access and the rooms are directly above the pub, where they also serve food

Room can get a bit chilly and I couldn’t get the heating on. Bring an electric blanket if you get cold easily. The bathroom is good but could use more ventilation. Also there were a couple of carpet beetles, which can become a problem if they get in your luggage. Lastly, the room doors aren’t numbered
