The restaurant was good and the staff was friendly.

There was a lot of noise from the room above. And on top there was a lot of noise from the staff at 7am. The bathtub was dirty and there waa mold.

Good location, great to explore Peak District. Room was spacious, good bed, shower ok over bath, but could have done with more pressure. Was very hot, due to heatwave. Fan provided did ok, but room still very hot! Restaurant itself and staff were great. Air con in restaurant was superb, kept us cool, looking Iver garden. Food both at breakfast and dinner was lovely, good choices and catered for gluten free too. Lovely 2 night break!

Just the heat, mainly due to heatwave, fan did its best.

Short stay, did not spend much time in the Inn, partly as it closed early.

Perfect stay

Beautiful, immaculately presented pub in a lovely area. Accommodation was great and had everything we needed for our one night stay. We didn't book breakfast due to doing Congleton parkrun the following morning but would love to try next time. It really stood out how friendly and polite staff were throughout our stay. We booked a table for an evening meal, the food was excellent and enjoyed a drink afterwards in the beer garden. There was a wedding taking place, which didn't impact our stay at all and we liked how the rooms were in a separate building slightly away from the pub. Plenty of parking spaces and we were happy we could park directly outside our room. We look forward to staying here again.

I can't find fault with anything. Everything was perfect for our short stay.
