Perfect pub with rooms. Just what you want; great bar staff who couldn’t do enough, simple but tasty food, quality breakfast and a fantastic walk literally from the back gate of the pub. Bedroom was small - but we knew that when we booked. Would love to return in the summer as there were spectacular views from the beer garden.

Village Pub

Lovely village pub with great access to beautiful countryside. Very good food and lovely staff. Bedroom clean and tidy but a tad on the small side as was the bed which was a small double. Dog friendly, not just dog tolerant.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were in Room 3 which was very small and could easily be improved by changing or removing a chair which did not fit under the dresser and, as placed in front of the wardrobe, prevented easy access to the latter (Apparently Room 4 is similarly challenging). A need to be organized and agile! It "worked" for us as a one night stay and it is a great location for accessing the Pennine Journey walking route. Evening meal was good and portions generous.
