Terrible Sunday roast with uncooked roast potatoes, over-cooked veg and disgusting gravy. Black mould in the bathroom and no curtain on the window that faced the street and left us both feeling fairly exposed. Wouldn’t recommend. It’s only saving grace is location and friendly staff.

Disappointing Room
Hotels.com dont state no food on a Mon, Tues, no breakfasts at all. Window in room 4 is very small side window, details say castle view but its not. The fire escaoe goes right past the windiw which guests use as a alternative way out, peering in the window. Worst thing 2 roof lights, covered in frosted plastic, what a terrible awaking at 4am! As there is no blinds. The electric roof fan looks dangerous when its on it moves at the ceiling as if going to come down. No hot water at basin in bathroom. Apart from that bed comfortabke and clean, lovely old room

Lovely venue. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Hallway would benefit from freshening up but decor overall was classy.

First off, this hotel had a bath tub that was DEEP and had hot that filled the tub. Secondly your bed is a 4 poster bed which is so cool. You feel like a kind or queen in it. The internet works best in the bar below, which is even better because sitting in the bar getting some work done while being able to people watch made it feel like your own living room. The staff are so insanely approachable and friendly. The parking is the easiest thing you will ever do being right across the street from the hotel. The last thing is the location. If you want to feel like you've been transported into another world its the place to visit. The big green hills covered in sheep all around are the best things you will find. Besides the castle that is up on the hill. Then there is also AMAZING coffee just across the street. I CANNOT RECOMMEND this place more to people and a must stop if staying in the lake district. Oh and the caves around are really cool. 10/10 will be returning for a longer stay next time.

Weekend stay.
Staff were friendly, service was good. The hotel and furnishings were a little tired with worn carpets. The bar area was badly laid out with unnecessary clutter. Out of hours access is through a side entrance and an untidy back yard. Overall though, an enjoyable stay.

2 Nights in Castleton
we had a 2 night stay and whilst the staff were very welcoming we were disappointed that they knew that the TV in our room wasnt working and didnt tell us or offer to move us into a different room. The room was a little chilly which was caused by the large window not being closed properly, we could not reach the handle to close it due to a wooden partition. The room was also noisy being directly above the bar which happened to have an open mic night on one of the nights we stayed. At £95 per night with no breakfast ( although we did receive a discount for their sister hotel in Hope ) we feel this hotel is overpriced by about £20.

Great room above a fun little pub. We enjoyed the convenient parking across the street. Check in was simple and our room was just as stated in the booking information. The staff that assisted with our check in recommended Tilly's for breakfast as they do not serve it at the hotel. It was great! Lots of shops and hiking located within walking distance as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Dont bother.
The room was great apart from very noisy from 6am due to the Quarry Lorries driving through the village. They should invest in some Secondary Glazing. The breakfast was disappointing. Streaky bacon, Come on. Offered wholemeal toast, served us white and had the cheek to question if we'd ordered wholemeal by the same lad who took our order. Two eggs on toast turned into one, hard boiled was interpreted as under cooked snotty. The Sunday roast was served cold. Random items were missing and very sparse. £16 and only served one potato , cold and hard. No breakfast was available on the Monday morning. Only served Saturday and Sunday. Think we'll give it a wide berth in future.

Great family and friendly hotel!
Great place to stay with immensely friendly staff. Choice and quality of food was excellent with the menu changing frequently to facilitate seasonal foods. Room was comfortable enough and clean. Only downside was breakfast wasn’t available to have until 9am, which was a shame and confusing as the area it services is there for people to explore the Peak District. The other watch out is that other places don’t open until 9 or later too, so will need to plan for something else to fuel before hiking.
