Beautiful place to visit only walked in the grounds and went into the farm shop which is jammed with so many fresh and locally made produce its amazing, bit more expensive, but worth it. Massive range to choose from. The Cafe's are lovely food smelled and look delicious and luxurious. The toilets alone are very different, they are all mirrored in and out of the cubicles in gold. They are very clean and neat. The grounds are vast and beautiful, there are picnic areas, we took a picnic, plenty of Sheep wandering around, you need to take care where you walk and drive. They also have Deer and Cows. There are private gardens that you can pay to look round and also the house which will cost you a fee. They had a Man on Fire exhibition in the grounds, these were from America. They had a small good fair there where you could sample food which is sold in the Farm Shop. Good place to go to take your dog, but must be kept on their lead. Plenty of security staff around to keep eye on things. Wonderful place to take kids and wear them out, there's a lovely little river to watch the ducks. It's a lovely day out especially if the sun is out, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Really nice walk around the garden with the dog. Lots to see and do to explore and so very well maintained. We entered the gardens from the entrance by the stables where there was no queue - tip tip from one of the volunteers...

Great place to visit & explore. The sculptures on display were great. Radical Horizons exhibition. Parking was reasonable and plenty to do just paying for parking. Unless you have a full day to explore I wouldn't pay to go in the house/gardens. We will be back for a full visit.

Such a grand stately home with tons of arts displays complimenting the historical pieces. Love the vast garden, with different sites of scenery, not enough to see them all in a day. Kids love the farm yard and adventure playground. I would love to go there again with the 50% off voucher. Can easily spend a lovely day out with family here.

A lot of 🐑 on the park, they are very cute. You can interact with them directly. Garden was amazing, you must buy the ticket for garden. Recommend Cascade, Maze, and the fountain. The house inside was luxurious. It's hard to believe a family can have so many valuable collections.

Great day out with the kids. They particularly loved being allowed to play the piano in the house and the violin in the cupboard room. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable, gave the kids just the right level of info to engage them and not go over their heads. They enjoyed the farm and play area too. There is so much to see and do, we didn't manage it all. Look forward to going back another time.

This was my first visit here. We went into the house first, then the grounds. We had dinner there too. Went in the 3rd week or September on a lucky sunny day. It was amazing, lots of staff on hand to help and chat, information card in every room and a very well presented and preserved part of English heritage. My pics don't do it justice at all. Most of them were done on my camera

Spent the entire day within the gardens and estate park. The gardens are beautiful, as you would expect from Capability Brown, with amazing landscaping and wonderful specimen trees and planting. Had lunch in the Stables, and then enjoyed the sculptures and installations currently exhibited in the park. Well worth the entry fee, and would certainly visit again. Very highly recommended.

This was a near perfect day out. We got stuck in traffic and missed our entry slot. I phoned the house and they were aware of the problem. Told us not to worry and promised to get us in as soon as they could. This set the tone for the day. Everyone was so helpful, and pleasant to deal with. The Christmas decorations were just stunning and each room came up with different ideas. The stewards were very knowledgeable and freely gave us info about the decorating process. There was a short queue to get into the restaurant. The staff were not fazed by my onion allergy and assisted me to choose my food. The turkey cobs were really delicious. We ended our day at the farm shop with a great cup of coffee and goodies to take home.

Absolutely amazing place. It’s worth the drive from anywhere! The house is like the ones you hear or see in Disney fairy tales. The staff is super friendly and if you discuss history with them, you will spend quite the time around the corridors. Plenty of parking spaces, toilets and a lovely gift shop. Been three times and can’t get enough of it.

Loved the gardens the most, especially the rock garden with its tunnel and nearby hedge maze, but also enjoyed the house and animals at the farmyard. Do not bother with the audio guide if you go to the house - the cards in each room are actually much more informative yet concise.

Absolutely wonderful. The farm shop is a little pricey, but the produce is good. The grounds are excellent. (The roads are busy, & people do speed a little, if you let your doggie off lead, beware!) Lovely afternoon there.

Fantastic place to visit. Lots of history and culture, beautiful gardens to explore with hidden gems for the kids like the rock garden to climb on and the maze to explore. Would recommend to visit the house early as it can become busy. The staff are very knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions or give you background information. Most of the house and ground is wheelchair accessible. Parking is £5.

Today is the last day of Haddon Hall Artisan Market. There is already a Christmas atmosphere, and the weather is very good today. It snowed heavily at noon. ❄️ We enjoyed to visit the house which is over 900 years old. Also saw a lot of artists Christmas or art works, very good, the price is not very expensive. It's £7.50 per people and it's free for children. We feel good today, and it's worth going to see.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Just stunning place, steeped in history with one of the best tour guide opening talks I have ever heard. Friendly staff and incredibly atmospheric history. Garden is stunning, and cafe serves great food. It IS expensive: £23.50 for an adult, so with 5 of us going, that is an expensive day out. I understand that it is still a home, but feel a little more could have been open (one of the towers?) for that level of spend. I would say it is definitely one for sure-footed adults, as there are no obvious things for children to do (but they would be free entry). Both inside and outside it is very uneven with lots of steps, which contributes a lot to the incredible character but makes it inaccessible for anyone with mobility issues. There is no obvious way of making it accessible ... not on the building agenda hundreds of years ago! Externally, it is one of the most stunning places in England; romantic, historic and truly spectacular. Internally, it is fascinating, but just not that many roo.s on display. Well worth a visit if you prepared to spend the money.

Hadden Hall has a lovely warm feeling about it. I believe it's the only stately house to not have been damaged in the war. You can tell it was a loving family home with no nasty skeletons in the closet. Definitely worth a visit though very pricey for what you get. No real gardens or land to explore just a section of the house. The restaurant is lovely with home cooked food and obviously popular as many tables reserved on a Thursday.

Haddon Hall is a beautiful manor house, where you can see about a dozen rooms, chapel, a tiny museum, and gardens. It is well presented, with about two pages of information in each room that tells of its history and notable items, like tapestries. However, the entry fee feels quite expensive at about £25 per adult plus another £3.80 per car to park. We spent a pretty leisurely hour in reading/seeing most things, so felt a bit steep in price compared to other comparable homes in England. The restaurant had pretty good food like jacket potatoes, sandwiches, soup, a few other mains, in addition to cakes and hot beverages. It's also slightly expensive and seating was a bit tight around 12:30/12:45, but the food came out quickly and was tasty so a nice stop if visiting Haddon Hall.

The Hall is very historic, quite lovely and well cared for. An excellent free 30 minutes guided tour is available, on the hour and half past. After that you're left to wander those rooms open to the public, and some of the garden. We found this took another hour or two, the majority of the hall is private. It was £75 for the three of us, including parking (£3.80), which we might have felt better value were we permitted to walk the paths by the river, or the battlements on the public side.

Haddon Hall has been on my list for a while, I was glad to catch the roses before they faded! A little bit of a pricey affair £23.90 entrance plus £3.80 parking, the staff in the cafe were a little rude if you ask me. Guided tours were going but I enjoy to take myself around quietly and avoid the crowds. Beautiful place, gorgeous grounds, lovely views. Would be nice if there was a bit more access to walk the wider estate. But all in all I lovely day out.

What a fantastic medieval hall, a true untouched gem. It has some truly interesting history and beautiful gardens. The guides in each room were great and answered any questions. The great hall and chapel are spectacular. There is n cafe, small gift shop, and a large car park across the road with a charge of £3.80. A good 3 to 4 hours are needed.

Visited the Christmas market at the hall and it was beautiful. There was a great variety of stalls inside and out, so that you got a real sense of the whole building and grounds Would definitely recommend a visit

Amazing interesting place, we really enjoyed our visit. There are friendly informative guides around the house and gardens to answer any questions you may have and also plenty of information to read in each room. Particularly loved the chapel. The whole place has a nice atmosphere although there were a few people there it doesn't feel crowded and you feel free to move around at your own pace. We sat for a while in the gardens overlooking the river it was so peaceful. Some people in the reviews have commented that it's expensive, we did have a 2 for 1 gardeners world card and under 16s are free so as a family of 3 it costs just under £24 and £3.50 parking so was pretty good value for us. However if we did have to pay full price I still think it's worth a visit. Also Derbyshire residents are getting a 30% discount at the moment. We were saying its a shame you can't just go to the cafe for lunch without having to pay the entrance fee for the house as the grounds are so nice, we would definitely take a ride out for lunch occasionally 😁.

It's a full day here to get the most from your visit & the guided tours are well worth it. The house is well kept though very uneven in places due to the centuries of footfall. The gardens too are beautiful & not over-manicured. We stopped off at the café for lunch which was beautifully served, tasty & not over priced. My only gripe is at the extra car parking fee on top of the cost of admission.

Fascinating place with a wealth of history (it's so old). So points to note.. parking is across the road. It's an automatic barrier system payable on leaving by credit or debit card at the barrier (couldn't see coin facility). Oncd over the road, Tickets for the house purchased at the little hut . They don't give you a map, they don't do them. Walk up the drive & over the little bridge. The stables block has been converted into a restaurant- its upstairs, they will bring the food down for you to eat outside, but don't provide a waiter service to take orders outside. This is the only place to eat or drink, no picnic is allowed in the gardens. The walk up to the house is steep, so not for anyone with mobility problems. Once through the main gate, up on the left are toilets next to the museum (the only ones on site except by the stables). There are tours which are worth doing as the individual rooms have very limited written info, so buy a guide book (£9 June 2023). There wasn't always a guide in each room to ask questions. One guide told me they don't label items on purpose, shame as most places have a little note about what stuff is..this is my main criticism, hence the 4 stars. Overall, it's worth a visit, tho.

I'm not overly into stately homes etc, but really enjoyed Haddon Hall. It was reasonably priced, nice little gift shop and theirs a cafe & facilities. The hall itself is an impressive building with a rich history. There are guided talks, but not compulsory. It's not stuffy but public friendly with plenty to see. The gardens are as magnificent as the hall and was perfect on a warm sunny summers day. Parking is across the road from the main entrance, so be careful crossing the main road on foot. Well worth a visit if you have the chance.

An interesting experience down the flight of stairs, onto the boat and through the narrow tunnels. Not much to see but the tour guide did his best to try and make it interesting for us. The stop over whilst the boats change hands was quite underwhelming. If it was cheaper, I'd have been more impressed but at £17pp, you can spend your money better elsewhere. Just a reminder, this is not for claustrophobic people!

This tour was great, we only had time to do one cavern, and there is 4 pretty much next to eachother here, but we're so glad we chose this one. It's a super unique experience taking a boat through the cave, and the natural cave at the end was also really cool. The mix of man made mine and natural also was a nice mix. The tour guide was fantastic, I unfortunately can't remember his name, I'm sure he gave the classic anecdote of "if you liked this tour my name is... and if you didn't it's...". He made us laugh and taught us a lot, super friendly guy who made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit for anyone planning to visit the area. My pictures and others online don't do this place justice, just trust and visit, it's worth it.

Such a fantastic tour today. We had Noah and he made the experience so much fun and quite comical would definitely like to do this again. Top quality tour and tour guide

Fantastic experience. Leo was fantastic, very knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions easily enough. The experience lasts about 45 minutes in total and includes a boat ride through a tunnel (be wary if you are claustrophobic). There are 106 steps which aren't too bad. It is probably best thing is to take your time and use the hand rails and if you are over 5ft 10 you may need to duck your head! Would definitely recommend a visit

Visited here after Mam tor. Fortunately managed to get a ticket available on the door for an afternoon trip. I also bought a parking ticket from the shop alternatively, you can use the machine across the road from the entrance.The parking fee was £3.50 on my visit and around £20 for the tour. The tour is guided and primarily by boat. Once you find a suitable hard hat, access to the boat is via a set of steep slippery steps. The tour lasts approximately an hour and follows a tunnel to the site of an underground waterfall. The guides are very friendly and provide lots of fun facts. The tunnels are very compact in places and the hardhats come in very handy. Something to consider if you are planning a visit. Fairly novel way to view an old lead mine.

It was a great experience and the tour guide was both informative and entertaining. The views of the cavern at the end of the tunnel were also breath taking. Top tip, it's very chilly down there. If you feel the cold maybe bring a jumper

We visited the cavern as a way to escape the great British summer weather, it was torrential so 150m under ground was the best place to be. We took our 6 year old and 3 year old down, The youngest was free and tickets generally are cheaper bought in advance. The youngest was nervous at first, but our tour guide Jack was cracking jokes right from the off, which put him at ease, and he loved the experience at the end. This was informative, interesting and really good fun, I would highly recommend it. My only gripe is that the time you book online is 20 mins ahead of your actual entry time, so read the small print and turn up at your actual time slot, or bring a full wallet for the gift shop!

Josh our guide who is in the pictures was an amazing young man. Very funny, full of facts and a great story teller. Would definitely recommend this tour and try to get Josh as your guide. Credit to the company.

Although neither of us had shared our expectations in advance, following the trip we both agreed it had not been what we expected and not good value for money. The advert stated "An Incredible underground boat journey" and "A magnificent cathedral-like cavern" but it was not as fabulous or incredible as we had hoped. The walk down (just over 100 steps) is an adventure in itself, make sure you wrap up warm, it got chilly and make sure you have sturdy footwear for the descend. This tour is dog friendly, we took our furbaby with us, make sure they have something warm to wear. Our tour guide Leo was very good, extremely knowledgeable (interesting) and he was flexible.. which was good as we would not have got very far otherwise. It was our first time in a cave system/cavern, so perhaps we were naive as to what to expect. This did not met our expectations, based on the advert, certainly not like any Cathedral we have visited. There is very little to see or hear and it is a good job you get to wear a hard hat/helmet. Personally, for us this felt more of an educational school trip. The photographs are far better than what you see in real life. This was not good value for money in our opinion.

Absolutely loved the experience! Our tour guide was really good and kept us very engrossed with the narrative and given the dank dark atmosphere, his sense of humour definitely helped! The cave is marvelous! The boat ride is an experience and I absolutely recommend it!

Had a nice experience. 5 year old wasn't too pleased with it all, not sure what she was expecting. It was quite informative, nice little ride on the boat. Was a little pricey and I think having young kids pay alis a bit much. One real oddity was the toilet situation. My daughter was dying for a wee after over an hour drive. Went to the kiosk over the road and the woman told me the closest toilet was in the village. I persevered and went next door to the gift shop and they have me a token as I had already bought tickets but I'm confused as to why they weren't just open for everyone? Very strange

Not many places in the UK where you can walk 106 steps to 490ft below ground, get into a boat that goes through a tight tunnel and get to a magnificent cavern. Guides are witty and have a good sense of humour, and the tour is educational and enjoyable for both adults and kids.

From toddlers to adults we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Josh was a brillaint tour guide. Clued up on all the facts with the occasional good 'dad' joke. No, he was absolutely brilliant. Made the tour more fun. Would 100% recommend for all ages.

Loved the experience! Our tour guide was amazing and very engaging! Watching the rope making process was better than I'd expected, and the cave itself is a real beauty! Overall, I definitely recommend visiting here!

Interesting and entertaining history of a great piece of geology. Guide was enthusiastic and especially engaging for families with kids. May be a little frustrating if you’re specifically interested in the geology of the cavern system but you can stop and hang back to engage with that during the tour.

The Devil’s arse. Neil Moss tragedy etc. this place is full of history. As an old caver I’ve been in here as a tourist and a caver. The entrance is very impressive as you approach it from the village you feel the temperature drop. You hear the birds that nest there squawk and swoop around you. It’s like something out of Jurassic park. The kids will love it. If you are in the area pay it a visit.

It was a nice experience, the presentation of the tour guide was nice and funny. The cave was interesting, it is quiet cold inside so be prepared. There are portions of the cave where you need to squat walking to access. The attraction is highly recommended

We went to see a cave whilst in the area at Castleton with our two young children. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised at how good this experience was. The show caves were impressive but the stories of the people and the lore around the cave was so interesting and well told that it has really stuck with us and became a highlight of our week in Yorkshire.

The geological history of this cave started about 350 million years ago when the Carboniferous period in process made fossils like crinoid , coral reef and weather worn. This cave is evident in interesting facts like stalactites, radon gas,vestibule,boat and cave dwelling creatures. Adventure stories like Narnia and Sad incidents like Neil Moss death gave a goose bump. The entrance is too large and spacious to attract,the cave has various chambers lit up perfectly.The guide was advanced in making ropes and narrating the incidents.Visiting ticket for adults 20 pounds each. It is worth a visit and it is new to me. I love this cavern.

We were there to see a band, and it was fantastic, the acoustics of that place is amazing, there was both hot and cold drinks and alcohol too. If you get a chance to see a band there just go for it.. We have also been in the day too, to actually see the cavern and it's an amazing place with a great history, so day or night it's really worth it.

Loved it, tour guide was amazing. Very informative talk about how the cave got its unique name, and you bet we came away with a magnet for the fridge and a keyring to say where we had been 🤣

Brilliant experience. I loved the rope making demonstration using some of the children on the tour. The tour guide was informative and made the tour interesting and fun. It was great to hear the history of the cavern. Some of the cavern was really low and you have to stoop to get through it but you are warned before hand so you don't hit your head. It was also quite slippery in places so shoes with good grip are essential. The cave is well lit and there is a part in the tour when the guide turns out the lights to show how dark it really is down there and for a couple of minutes you can't see a thing. Brilliant experience. I highly recommend it.

Grate little place, tours on the hour last an hour and they are informative and entertaining. The walk is about half a mile with steps and slippery surfaces. One point you have to duck slightly. Well lit. No facilities on site and if you book tickets online you will save a bit. Look out for the dragon

Overall an enjoyable experience, took an hour for the tour in total and there is a section where you do have to crouch to get through. The tour guide Chris, shared the history of the cavern from the rope making to a visit from Queen Victoria and how the workers lived. It was educational as well as fun and my son got to make the rope which he gets to keep as a souvenir. Did think the price to enter was slightly high, but there was a a discount if you book online.

We enjoyed a trip into the caves and the history of the Devil's Arse. The rope making demonstration was good and our guide told us about the historic uses of the caves by bandits and rope makers. There is one section that requires you to bend down low to get under, which I managed, despite carrying a rucksack. My only gripe was not being able to hear the guide due to the number of people in the group we travelled through the caverns with and that they weren't using anything to amplify what they were saying, although I still enjoyed it.

I ended up here after passing the entrance on a walk and was begged by my son to go down the mine! I can honestly say it wasn't my personal choice to go on the tour but that I actually quite enjoyed it. It was interesting and the guide was very informative and kept us engaged. There's lots of steep steps which take you down and then you obviously have to make your way back up on the return. I do think it's quite expensive, we paid £40 for 2 adults and a 5 year old but as I said I hadn't planned on that being part of our day.

Nigel was a fantastic tour guide, full of knowledge and very friendly. Made you feel at ease when going so deep underground. Not for those who are claustrophobic or of poor fitness due to the stairs and depth, but otherwise absolutely fascinating and beautiful place. I was hesitant of the £18 entrance fee and had actually come once before and decided against going inside the cavern due to the price. Glad I coughed up this time and saw it.

Was a great experience. The steps are not that bad but can be slippery in places. George, the tour guide is really nice and informs you to hold the rails on the steps for your own safety. The caves are nicely lit up, so you can take in the full size of the place and the colours in the rocks. There is a toilet shop and cafe on site. Another tick off my to-do list.

An absolutely fantastic pace to park up the sun set and sunrise was amazing. Also met some lovely people there . Highly recommended for everyone who has a van and the vanlife community.

Nice tour down the mine which is actually mostly natural cave. Takes about an hour. There’s 400+ steps so you need to be fit. It’s a bit expensive but worth it if you’re interested in the history. I took my two young children on the tour and they loved it. It gets cold 7C at the bottom so take a jumper. It’s a bit expensive for what it is in my opinion but glad we did it once. There are toilets here and a gift shop.

This was a brilliant find and had a great time. Nigel was our guide and he was fantastic breaking down the history of the cavern, mining and of course the Blue John stones. It was made far better with hunour and his way of telling his stories. Next time we visit the peaks, we will return! Also note there is this broken road which was explained on the tour a little further down the road from where the car park is. Worth having a look at

This is a really interesting place to visit in a beautiful area. The cavern tour lasts around an hour and takes you around 100m below ground through a series of caverns formed over 200million years ago. As well as learning about the mining of a unique mineral (Blue John) there was lots to learn about geology and the history of the mines. There are visible fossils in the cavern wall apparently up to 500million years old! There is free parking on the road and lots of lovely walks in the area. There is a shop and they sell basic drinks/ice creams but I'd recommend going the short drive into Castleton for many better cafe options. There are toilets at the visitor centre. It's not cheap for an hour long tour and not suitable for those with mobility issues (200+ steps and no lift) but otherwise highly recommended.

Took the children to enjoy seeing and learning about blue John and the mining history. So much fun going down into the cavern! There are a lot of steps, but the guides don't rush you. It's a very sensory experience and you don't have to wear a helmet. Do take a camera

I have been to blue John cavern few years Back but the excitement still the same. You have to walk in to the cave at least 290 odd steps some places are swisty and slippery. Is your are a six footer keep you head low in some parts. I wish If I had my own spot flash light so that I can lit up the dark corner as a please. If you are travelling close by make sure you take some decent food to eat unless you wants to wait till you get back to main road.

George was amazing tour guide. Really knowledgeable, polite and humerus we had a lovely time down the caves and learnt a lot. The tour is 1 hour approx and there are quite a few steps. It gets a bit chilly down the bottom so recommend wearing a jumper and packing some gloves to help cold hands holding onto the rails (especially for kids) The floor gets quite damp and slippery so they recommend walking boots over trainers (although no one slipped while we were there better to be safe than sorry!) The cafe is limited to hot drinks and small snacks (crisps and chocolates) the people in the shop were lovely and very friendly with some Blue John jewellery and other gems for the kids. You can take dogs which is also awsome and simple toilets for patrons to use.

Took a room there for 3 days. Fabulous room and made to feel very welcome by friendly management. The only thing stopping me give a fifth star was the inadequate water pressure in power shower which I think was too low for the heater to work properly and really needs to be sorted. We were, to be fair, invited to use the shower in the next (unoccupied!) room. Menu looks fabulous but staffing problems and restricted kitchen meant we couldn't sample it.

I was here so many times before yesterday and I have been always happy. But yesterday I found that something has changed, the menu in particular and also the quality of food (meat of burger, mushy peas and potatoes). The lamb shank and the pies were nice. The vegetables as well were so much nicer in the past. What happened? I really hope things will improve as I really love this place. Btw the staff was really nice and kind yesterday.

I felt I needed to post a review since some of the reviews I read before booking almost made me think twice about booking. I very much enjoyed our stay here - the location is great, right in the middle of Bakewell and by the river. I didn't experience any rudeness from the staff - sometimes maybe people mistake efficiency for rudeness - but everyone was prompt, courteous - when we checked in someone took us up to our room personally and showed us around, told us to grab a spot in their lot before it filled, and told us what time last call for meals in the pub was in case we were hungry. Place was very clean and comfortable. We did end up eating at the pub and had a nice meal. I suppose I did notice what one person said about the mattress being towards the end of its life, but it was honestly fine and I've seen much worse. I'm sure it'll be replaced in due time when necessary. I'd gladly come back.

Came here for lunch with my partner at the weekend and ended up with terrible food poisoning, still Ill 2 days later. £16.50 for a reheated chicken burger is ridiculous but added food poisoning on top is a joke. I would avoid at all costs. Reply to owner regarding previous review: I find it hard to believe that the burger wasn't reheated seeing as it came to me in around 15 minutes and didn't taste like it had been freshly cooked, it was rubbery and hard. It wasn't anything I had eaten that day, I am sure of that. Sorry I failed to mention it came with chips, onion rings (3 small ones to be precise) and a minute portion of coleslaw. But for £16.50 I would hope it didn't come on its own! And yes, I was happy to pay the price, albeit a steep one at that. But I paid the price expecting to receive food quality that matched the high price. But instead I received a nasty burger which gave me food poisoning! I cant comment on what other people received but only what I received. Instead of giving me back a sarcastic reply, I suggest you spend some time educating your kitchen staff or sorting out your hygiene, or both! Good day to you too :)

A lovely village pub in the heart of Bakewell. A good selection of local beers and cask ales. A good range of food on the menu; the lamb shank lived up to expectations. Went on a Monday night, it was quiet, but that was what was expected. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Very disappointed been several times always been pleased. This time lamb shank was hard and overcooked. Told the bar person he disappeared then came back with £10 half the cost of the meal. No apology no "would you like to change your meal" Just a bit surly and put out. Sorry but that is not good enough. Meat is the most expensive part of the meal. You should have given a refund We are sad that you have ruined our day out and our favourite eating place

We just went for a meal. Nice food, quick service. It's pretty standard fare but the quality is good and well presented. It's overpriced though for what it is.

Lovely pub, we attended as part of a large group. The space provided for dinner was a bit small for 19 people and some of the food had to be returned for being burnt. Our starter which was fish platter of sorts was lovely though and the service good. I would visit again. Castleton is lovely to visit of you like walking

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ye Olde Nags Head and it was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the charming and cozy atmosphere that the hotel exudes. The staff were warm, friendly, and incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with a lovely view of the surrounding area. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had a great night's sleep each night of my stay. The hotel also had excellent amenities, including a wonderful restaurant that served delicious food and a cozy bar that was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. What really stood out to me, however, was the exceptional service that I received from the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, and I truly appreciated their attention to detail and willingness to help with any request. Overall, I highly recommend Ye Olde Nags Head to anyone looking for a charming and comfortable hotel with exceptional service. I can't wait to return for another visit!

Had food in here on a Friday evening. My wife and I both had a starter and main which were absolutely fantastic. We booked for the next night I overheard other diners and they were all raving about the food so it's thoroughly recommended. Great beer choice as well. My one recommendation would be to book a table downstairs, there are a small number upstairs but it looked a bit lonely and felt a bit cooler up there, but that may be what you want!

We were disappointed by the food and the service. Went for Sunday Roast and the staff didn’t know if the meat was from local farmers or not, didn’t know what pieces of meat they had. We decided not to risk it and had a couple of burgers. The meat on the Beef burger wasn’t good and the chicken burger seemed to be cooked hours before we ate it, same with the fries, seemed to be heated in the microwave before served. Only a couple of friendly members of staff. It’s a nice pub in a lovely location with a cozy fireplace. It would be great if they trained staff to know what they’re serving and provide information about where their produce comes from.

Excellent value for money. All the staff were friendly and helpful, with the exception of Sophie who served us in the restaurant last night. She was exceptional. What a lovely young lady. An asset to the business. Well done. Good selection of beers and good choice of menu.

Lovely experience at lunch today. Really friendly welcome and quick service. Food was very tasty and served in a great atmosphere, open fire and all. Perfect for a post-walk pub lunch!

Love going to the Nags Head! All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, definitely the best pub in the village! Food is amazing too whether it’s breakfast or an evening meal. I would recommend to have a look at the specials board if you’re looking for something a bit different. Great choice of beers as well!

Stop off for a pint and a hot beef sandwich, my son had the hot pork. Food was excellent, good choice in craft beers. The meals coming out looked first class. Friendly, pleasant service, rate it first class Al round.

Fantastic sausages, lovely mash and a massive Yorkshire pudding, what's not to like? Not quite enough onions in the onion gravy for my liking, but that's down to personal preference. 👍

Stopped in for breakfast & some fresh produce. Good quality, but it is a bit more expensive than other places but you pay for quality. The deli has a wonderful selection of pies, padties, meats & cheeses & huge ready-made baps. There is even cream tea in a box ready to go. The cafe has a decent breakfast menu & the service was quick and efficient, but most of all, the staff are lovely ! If you get a chance to sit outside- do! It's got a wonderful view.

A lovely farm shop with an abundance of local produce. The staff are helpful and friendly. Just be ware, it does get busy so you do wait a while queuing but it’s well worth it.

Simply the best farm shop in the country. The food is amazing and definitely worth a visit. Ample parking and suitable for Motorhomes if you get a space that allows rear overhang

Very beautiful house and gardens. Too much to see in a single visit and especially with a Xmas market. Helpful and friendly staff and plenty of them. Organised like a military operation. Brilliant but at a high price. £3 a coffee and a burger? £9.50 🤔

Managed to get a table, have a sandwich and go through the shop in an hour! Initially service was slightly slow, but the food and drinks came out quickly. They were able to handle my gluten free request, the ham was yummy and the bread was even fresh! I loved the cloud shaped noise-dampeners on the ceiling. The shop had an amazing range of estate meat and local fish and chicken, as well as a Christmas shop already!!!

Really great menu with superb location and views over surrounding countryside. They were still serving from the breakfast menu at 11.00 and we had smoked salmon on muffins topped with two poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Great 👍

Chatsworth Farm Café was lovely! We had afternoon tea. Although it was school holiday time and quite busy the service was great! Very tasty scones.

This is a popular spot for walkers and can sometimes be difficult to get parked, it's worth trying though. The gift shop is nice with a good variety of local gifts. The cafe is spacious and clean and the staff very friendly. Service is quick and efficient. The menu is varied from breakfast to lunch options. The food is good value and quality.

Cycle Hire: easy to find, large (Paid) car park, we stayed at the B&B so parking was free for us. helpful staff processed the hire quickly and effectively. only issue was felt rushed with clock watching and pressure to return bike in allocated time. The trail itself is stunning! well maintained and good length with plenty of room for walkers and cyclists. (with the tunnels was surprised the hire bikes didn't come with lights) Cafe: large menu with reasonable prices, good selection of cakes and treats, nice sized cafe with plenty of seating. came twice in one day for breakfast and then for a cake. cleanliness was unsatisfactory and felt staff were there just to pay the bills. On a staff good day this place would be a great place to visit if you are in the area.

3rd visit here over the course of 2 years. Foods great and coffee is good too! Got absolutely loads of salmon yesterday and for £8.50 it was a bargin. Couldn't have even made it cheaper. Nice little play park for the kids and good spot to ride the bikes too. Highly recommended :)

Can't comment much in the cycle hire as we took our own bikes, however the bicycles we saw looked very good and the hire shop looked very professional. The cafe was very busy my only criticism was there was a bar that sold beer and ice-cream but it was not manned, maybe a sign-in showing the difficulty they have in recruiting. The trail was brilliant, and there are a number of cafes along it to take refreshments We did not eat in any as we had our own packed lunch, but all looked good. The trail. Is good for cycling or walking, got busy towards lunch time, minor niggle was people not sticking to the left side of the trail. Will be a regular place to visit in the future for us.

Lovely cafe. Friendly staff, patient staff taking orders. Could be more efficient at cleaning tables but the place is very busy on a weekend. Turn out of food is super speedy. Kids pasta dish pleasant but a bit dry. Jackets are lovely and fluffy. Pork sandwich was beautiful. Lovely string tea also, forgot to ask what tea do you use?! Very tasty. Toilets clean. Nice gift shop. Overall nice experience and would return.

We are six young at heart ladies who hired bikes & completed the trial there & back. We went for normal bikes which was easier than we thought, as I myself haven’t cycled in years. Brilliant bikes and a very professional service. Then a superb lunch at the cafe, all freshly made with good quality ingredients. The happiest service I’ve seen in year, what a cracking spot. Thank.

This is an excellent place to park and walk or cycle to Bakewell along a section of the Monsal trail. It is relatively flat and plenty wide enough for people dogs and bikes. The cafe itself is extremely popular and a good stopping off point . They do a good coffee and there are bowls of water for dogs. There is seating inside and also a large covered area with seating, for those who prefer to remain outside. Didn't eat but plenty of people were; and the food looked good.

Great little spot. Food great, nice gift and book shop. Outside covered seating area has overhead heating so no problem with weather. Fantastic access to the Monsal trail and bike hire is available.

I only used the toilets which were smelt of a sewer, had no soap and no sanitizer and only cold water. The shop was very festive with plenty of reasonably priced knitted garments. There were many lovely books too and we purchased a couple of books for our 7-month old grandson.

Lovely cafe situated on the Monsal trail formerly the old Hassop train station. There is an outside cafe and an inside cafe. Bike hire there also, there's a children's play area. Loads of seating outside. The coffee was great just what we needed on our way back to Bakewell. The staff were very friendly. Definitely a good stop for refreshments on your walk.

We haven’t been here for a few years, so I’m not sure if the management has changed or something, but I thought it has gone down Hill. The staff were all grumpy and rude, it was a Saturday evening and maybe they had been there all day, but there is no excuse for rudeness. The food was average, my buttermilk chicken burger was burnt. It’s perhaps better to just call for a coffee whilst walking rather than to go here for an actual meal.

Great location to start walking (or biking) on the Monsal Trail. Good food, vegetarian choices are really nice, served quickly. We sat out doors, plenty of room indoors and out. A well organised and friendly run establishment 👍 We parked here as it gave us a good walk to get to the Monsal Viaduct and take in many of tunnels and wonderful landscapes and views of this fascinating old railway line. Walked four miles out then same back. Epic day out 😀

A lovely, welcoming pub. The food was reasonably priced and very quickly served, in fact, I think the speed of food coming out from ordering was a record for me. I had a vegetarian mushroom pie, with veggie gravy, chips and peas and it was perfectly filling. Thankfully I had a little room for the award winning sponge pudding-which lived up to its name. The staff were friendly and attentive. Food is ordered at the bar and brought to the table, although table service would be a plus, it’s understandable with the number and efficiency of staff. Beer was kept well and tasted fresh

Stayed in Hartington for two nights. Tried to eat at the Devonshire on the first night, and told they were fully booked up (54 people) for the whole evening. Which was surprising given it was a Monday. So we booked for the following evening, and as soon as we tasted the food we saw why! One of the best pub meals I’ve ever had. Steak cooked to perfection. The quality and price were top notch. Gary & Tom on the bar were superb. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Really nice local pub, great food, good selection of beer and cider. Brilliant setting, proper old style cosy pub. Super friendly, funny and kind staff. Frank needs to work on his skills behind the bar but we'll let him off due to the fact he is a dog.

A spontaneous visit after living in the area for nearly 20 years! A quiet rainy Sunday was a perfect moment for a half pint and peanuts. Well, the manager behind the bar was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Tables clean, toilet clean, and no blaring music. It makes me think that the food would be worth a try. If you're passing through the Hartington village or hiking or wanting a date venue in a charming village setting then this is for you.

We are visiting the area and decided to visit the pub on Sunday for a meal (8 of us in total). We had assumed there would be a Sunday roast option, but the pub messaged us after booking to inform the roasts don’t run in the summer month so it would be the regular pub menu. This was great customer service! We had a lovely time and were made to feel very welcome with chats at the bar and general attentiveness. We all enjoyed a good meal and some nice local ales. The atmosphere inside was really lovely and we would happily visit again!

Had a lovely short stay here. Room was really nice, bed was sooo comfortable. Food in the restaurant was great as were the staff. Landlords have changed recently and are doing a great job. Beautiful village location fantastic area to do some walking and see the Peak District.

Couldn't ask for friendlier staff. We brought our mucky dog with us post dog walk and they were so welcoming. The pub is dog friendly in all areas which was amazing. The food was divine and we will certainly be back. One of the nicest pubs I've been to in a long time, from hospitality through the quality of food/drink. A must if you're in the area!

We ate here as a large group (8), and they were very accommodating. Lovely food that was just what we needed after a long hike in the peaks. Well worth a visit and we will be coming back if we are in the area. Lovely main courses and the desserts were delicious - big portions!!
