The Staff Of Life

Served our purpose well. Would...

Liked: Exceptionally clean
Disliked: Bar the bacon, I think the breakfast ingredients were not as good quality as I would like. Based on customer profile I think people would like better quality breakfast ingredients?

Suited our requirements perfectly.

Liked: I found the tea making facilities to be the best I've seen for several years. The room was provided with a plug in air conditioner (which we didn't use). A stand up shower (i.e. not a shower in a bath). Breakfast in the bar was attractively served and plentiful.
Disliked: My husband who is a coffee drinker would have liked a proper coffee machine in the room.

Great pub, super staff ,...

Liked: Country pub, nice beer garden at back. Excellent price for mid week b and b. Not far from major road network. Quiet at night though some traffic from 7 onwards. Food was standard pub classics but well done and priced. Good wine and beer selection. What made it though were the staff who were really friendly , took and brought orders to the outside tables and continually checking all ok. Whilst accomodation is a little dated it was very clean. Would stay again if in the area.
Disliked: Nothing,

Outstanding place to stay! Hope...

Liked: Service was excellent and accommodating! Friendly and helpful and readily available. Food was delicious and well prepared, great ale!

Does exactly what it says...

Liked: Lovely staff, good food, good beer.

Superb stay.

Liked: Room was stunning. Breakfast is plentiful and tasty. Early check in at 2pm is great. Perfect location for Calke Abbey events. Had lunch there as well which was very nice and excellent value.
Disliked: Nothing

A good place to stay...

Liked: Friendly staff and excellent food.
Disliked: Facilities in the bedroom were basic

Lovely stay with attentive staff...

Liked: Nice warm welcome by staff, who were very attentive. Pub is located in a lovely area. The room was nice and clean. Good selection of beers and the food was excellent. Great breakfast in the morning.
Disliked: Only thing to note is if you have mobility issues, the stairs to the bedroom were narrow and in a semi spiral which could make access difficult. No problem for us though.

Good
