Cheerful staff, clean room, good service, Wi-Fi reception is very poor around whole building, took 5 hours until we eventually got connected. Hotel does not offer Any gluten free options for breakfast, no cereals no toast, but to be fair the Jockey Breakfast was superb, overall my stay was disappointing.

We stayed here for 1 night whilst touring the peak district on our motorbikes. Plenty of parking and security cameras to ensure a good night's sleep. Our room was very comfortable and decorated to a high standard. The shower was big with great water pressure. We had an evening meal which we would rate as excellent, plenty of very friendly staff and a short wait for our food. Breakfast the next morning was plentiful and varied. We tried the Porky Hash which was huge! We would definitely recommend a stay here... we will be back
