the staff were friendly and helpful .

the room was quite noisy, seemingly located above the kitchen, and this made it hard to rest. the view from the window was also unappealing as it overlooked a messy courtyard. additionally , the service was slow during dinner , and my food order was incorrect with missing items.

the location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions. i could easily visit chatsworth house and bakewell, destinations i always dreamed of seeing. the free parking added a layer of convenience and removed any stress about additional costs .

Unfortunately, i noticed the absence of fresh fish options, disappointing. I had hoped for more variety in the dining menu, though i understand menus can sometimes be limited by availability.
