Excellent service as soon as I arrived at The Barrel Inn. All the staff I came into contact with were friendly and extremely helpful. From check in, breakfast, bar staff and waiting on. Food was wonderful. Apart from the above what most impressed was when I was out for a walk, Oliver contacted me to see if myself and my husband needed a reservation for that evening. Above and beyond as far as I'm concerned, looking after their residents. As I know from the evening before the pub would have been extremely busy. Well done The Barrel Inn.

Great pub with excellent accommodation (stayed in the 'Puncheon Room') which was well appointed, comfortable bed, lovely spacious bathroom. Had evening meal and breakfast at the pub, both were excellent (can fully recommend the 'Peak district roast leg of Lamb'), and good breakfast option of full English and granola/yoghurt/fruit. Outstanding location which is stunning on a sunny evening. Can happily recommend for any type or length of stay.

I had a lovely weekend at The Barrel Inn. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed. The food both at breakfast and in the evening was delightful. The staff were welcoming, which as a single traveler, is always appreciated. The location was ideal for walking with spectacular views. I recommend this establishment without reservation and will definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at The Barrel inn. They were accommodating to our potential late arrival, the room was spotless, cosy and fresh. The amazing view at sunset was stunning and although we were too late to eat dinner there, the breakfast was delicious. We had a brilliant night sleep and great hot showers the following morning. This was a recommendation from a friend and so worth it, we’ll definitely be back.

An excellent experience despite the adverse weather conditions.

Excellent service as soon as I arrived at The Barrel Inn. All the staff I came into contact with were friendly and extremely helpful. From check in, breakfast, bar staff and waiting on. Food was wonderful. Apart from the above what most impressed was when I was out for a walk, Oliver contacted me to see if myself and my husband needed a reservation for that evening. Above and beyond as far as I'm concerned, looking after their residents. As I know from the evening before the pub would have been extremely busy. Well done The Barrel Inn.

Great pub with excellent accommodation (stayed in the 'Puncheon Room') which was well appointed, comfortable bed, lovely spacious bathroom. Had evening meal and breakfast at the pub, both were excellent (can fully recommend the 'Peak district roast leg of Lamb'), and good breakfast option of full English and granola/yoghurt/fruit. Outstanding location which is stunning on a sunny evening. Can happily recommend for any type or length of stay.

One of the most welcoming places we’ve stayed. Every member of staff we met was genuinely friendly and made sure our stay was great. Spotlessly clean, great breakfast and a lovely atmosphere.
