Room was OK but very...

Liked: Breakfast was basic but good.
Disliked: Breakfast is served at 08:30 which for me and clearly other guests is very late. There was always a queue and once served a lot of people trying to get to the food.

Shockingly bad hotel

Liked: The location
Disliked: This hotel is obviously trading on the location alone. We'd have been more comfortable in a tent on the grass. The hotel is severely run down and in need of some serious TLC. Didn't eat or stay for breakfast as the smell of the hotel and the general grubbiness put us off.

Wow ! What a view...

Liked: Location and views are fantastic. It's across a valley from Dovedale and steep mountainsides. It's a hotel for outdoor types - perfectly located for strollers and hikers. It's fairly relaxed - not formal or "posh". Pleasant easy conversations with the owners.We will return and take a longer stay one day.
Disliked: My visit was in a rare UK heat wave. The dining room was too hot & stuffy at 8am breakfast. The manager could have tried to cool it off overnight by leaving windows open. The manager could have suggested taking our buffet breakfast to sit at an outside table where it was pleasant. Our room window was still shut at 8pm when we arrived, and could have been opened to cool it off a bit. But these were unusual conditions.Our booking says "mountain view" but we had a view of pleasant fields. My wife says the view was great anyway. i say the booking system may have a small glitch.
