This is exactly what a pub should be. Great beer. Tasty pork pie. Personalised pottery. No riff raff. What more could one want? Thank you for the wonderful honest hospitality.

Love this pub, such an authentic old English ale House. Cosy bar area great hosts and friendly locals. The selection of real local brewed ales is great.

What A STUNNING pub. The friendliest folk in the world. This is my new favourite little peaks pub, and my dogs agree after all the treats the landlord gave them. Roaring fires, great beer and lovely locals. Driving past it, it looks almost as though it has closed down years ago, don't be deceived!I've given it 5 stars for food, as by chance there was a birthday party buffet when we visited who very kindly let us tuck in, however I don't think they normally do food, so plan for victuals elsewhere.

An amazing little pub. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the beer was spot in.

Called in for a drink only to be greeted by the worst reception ever. Woman behind the bar couldn’t have made it more obvious that we were not welcome, doubt she’s ever cracked a smile before, as for the locals, they were just a bunch of toffs who looked down on us. Quite ironic when all of us are local country lads just out for the day, I won’t bother frequenting this place anytime soon.

Tiny traditional pub serving great beer. The landlord and landlady, and the locals, were friendly and welcoming.

What a cracking pub. Beautiful heritage pub. No lager, no frills, no fancy cocktails. The mistakes so many pubs often make are not made here thankfully. Charming, old, proper. Only regret is that I don't live next door to it. I'd practically live there otherwise.

An amazing PROPER pub. Great beers. A pub as they used to be: not a place to eat. Lovely atmosphere. Great folk.

A real gem, a mythical trip to yesteryear! This place in enchanting, an ale lover's paradise where you're guaranteed the oldest traditions of an English tavern with the impeccable hospitality provided by a landlord and landlady that truly understand what the English pub is all about. If you're after cocktails or fine wine or a choice of thirty seven different gins then go to a bar in Matlock. However those seeking a taste of how taverns should be, go no further, this place is simply breathtaking.
Cracking down to earth pub with friendly staff and wonderful selection of ales. Campsite in field next door very handy.

Really glad I was able to visit here during our stay in the Peak District. Sadly, places like this are few and far between these days.

Walked 2 miles to find ‘the local pub’. Nothing about this pub is local, warm or friendly. The lady looked at me like I’d just spat at her when I asked for slimline tonic as a diabetic. Very unenjoyable experience, so much so that I was more than happy to walk 4 miles through nettles and cow poo to find somewhere else to drink. Avoid- like something off a horror film.
