Great place to stay. Worth noting breakfast was included but the confirmation email stated no cooked breakfast on Mondays. No mention of this before booking. Still great room and would recommend it.

We stayed in the barn and it was beautiful. Double volume, exposed brickwork and a log burner. Well equipped kitchen with coffee machine and dishwasher. Quality bedding and immaculate, they even left a couple of bottles of the local IPA for us, which I really annoyingly left in the fridge!! Staff were super friendly, especially Annie who was lovely, and the food and drink were exceptional. We will be back.

Lovely location
Charming picturesque location Dinner let it down though - as a guest we should have been told to pre-order from the menu as there was little choice left by the time we got seated at the table

Fantastic stay in this gastropub. Finished to a high standard in an amazing part of the peaks. Breakfast was stunning and our evening dinner was first class. Only minor quibble was hearing the people above us in our room

It was very peaceful - perfect location for hiking! The room was quite large and comfortable, the bathroom was spotless. It’s dog-friendly which was an added bonus and the food was excellent.

Quiet as a Barn Owl
Lovely location-off the beaten track-with easy access to usual tourist spots. Stayed for 3 nights-on 2 of these nights the pub was closed-in the detached Manor House Barn.The facilities here are first rate. Will be looking to undertake a return visit to sample the excellent food offering

The accommodation was lovely and the area was great. It would have been nice to have been able to check in earlier and check out a touch later. I had read good reviews about the breakfast and it was slightly disappointing to only be offered a continental, even though this was nice

Would not recommend
The room was very good nice, just.We could not fault the room but very disappointed with the cooked breakfast it consisted of 2 rashers of streaky bacon which was very hard, a pot of brown sauce and what seemed a small hash brown and a fried egg, which I can not have, unfortunately the waitress forgot to tell the kitchen no egg on mine. We have stayed at many places and never have a seem a cooked breakfast like that. No sausage, black pudding, baked beans or mushrooms. Also they don’t give you toast either. The tea pot was chipped and cracked, this should not have been used. The meal on the Saturday was not good the Hogget was very tough and my partners was also cold, as were the vegetables, the cabbage was served with a lot of water in the dish. We did complain about the meal at the time and my partner was offered Hogget that I presume would have been hot. There was nothing knocked off the bill. As we stayed on a Sunday night they don’t do cooked breakfast, which I think should be told when booking. The continental breakfast was carrot cake & cinnamon brioche, fruit plater (4 slices of blood orange, water melon and grapes) granola natural yoghurt & rhubarb. Where were the cheeses, ham and croissants, also toast would have been good. We eat in the Sunday but as they stop servicing food at 5pm we had to make sure we were back in time. We had the roast beef dinner, again we weren’t that impressed with it. Total spent £604.62 for 2 nights with meals, would not recommend

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The people that run it are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms are done to an exceptionally high standard and the breakfast was superb. There is also excellent parking which is ideal for anyone with a classic car. Furthermore, its dog friendly so next time the furry one will be coming with us. See you again soon!

Amazing two night stay
Me and my wife stopped here for our 10th Wedding Anniversary weekend on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th What an amazing experience, our room was beautiful, open plan with views across the countryside, exceptionally clean and well equipped. Superb slipper style bath and walk in rain shower, Nespresso coffee machine and digital tv with a lounge area to boot, the bed was also very comfortable! Very quiet too, you could hear a pin drop at night! We ate in the gastropub the first night and the food is out of this world, amazing! Breakfast served in the morning again amazing, lovely fresh orange juice and coffee, amazing pastries and cooked breakfast! Great position for exploring nearby Buxton and Bakewell and the Peaks We will definitely be revisiting again

Fabulous stay and food
We had a fantastic stay: very comfortable and spacious room, well kept and decorated, brand new and in pristine conditions. But the best part of all was the amazing dinner and fabulous breakfast. The food and the service was exceptional. We would highly recommend staying and eating at the Blind Bull.

Excellent service, brilliant one night stay in the Barn, everything was absolutely spot on - although we didn’t eat in the evening, breakfast was superb - can’t wait to go back. Fairly pricey but we’ll worth it!

We stayed in the self contained cottage, which has loads of space for two. Lovely combination of modern and traditional design. Bathroom well designed with large walk in shower. Restaurant is excellent. Overall thoroughly recommended as a base in the Peak District, Castleton is a 15 min drive.
