Excellent Stay Near Mam Tor

tasty breakfast convenient location chocolate touch short walk

I appreciated the tasty breakfast (especially the eggs from their own chickens). The location is perfect for hiking. The room included chocolates which was a nice touch. The path to the village took only 20 minutes.

My room was a bit small.

Location

10/10

The site is set within farmland surrounded by mountains. It is close to Mam Tor, Winnats Pass, and Peveril Castle. The village is easily accessible via a path through the fields (very peaceful).

Facilities

9/10
