As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, there's nothing quite like settling into a cosy pub for a proper Sunday roast

Found in the peaceful market town of Bakewell, it’s the perfect retreat for walkers and ramblers alike to rest their head after exploring the rolling hills or after a spot of high street shopping at the local farmers market for those less adventurous

Derbyshire Dales District Council car parks; Granby Road, Market Place and New Street, all offer overnight parking

A traditional family-friendly pub

No matter if you days are filled with walking the Monsal trail or window shopping, our 5 rooms are well accommodated to make you feel relaxed and tranquil during your stay

Fresh and lively, with notes of citrus, green apple and soft floral hints
