Part of the Old English Inns group and one of the several popular foody pubs in Bakewell. A menu to suit everyone at reasonable prices and good and friendly service. The pub has modest parking but there is plenty in the town nearby.

Great food, atmosphere is the best and all at a wonderful price. Service excellent. In our 5 day stay in the village it became our daily evening eatery. Would recommend their 2 for 1 meals at 9.95 especially for those travelling on a limited budget, their selection of local beers is worth trying a different one each evening.

Asked a passer by where was decent for pub food. She said The Castle is ok if you don't mind ping and fry stuff. She was right. Typical country pub (a good thing) with lots of locals with dogs. Food was standard heat and serve fayre but ok. Nothing particularly good but nothing terrible either.

We were looking for somewhere to eat while on holiday with friends and came across this place on the Internet so thought we'd give it a go. So pleased we did. The food was gorgeous and very very reasonable in price 2 meals for £9.95! The kids meals were a perfect size and presented beautifully. The two staff we met... More

We stopped for a Saturday lunch and much enjoyed our visit. The room was permanently full, staff were all friendly and helpful and the meals were reasonably priced. The highlight was their Bakewell pudding. It may not be the classic recipe but it is very tasty!

As soon as we opened the door we noticed that the carpet hadn't been hoovered, there was a lot of big bits all over the carpets that you couldn't miss, a sure warning sign... More

Staff friendly and welcoming. Had a decent sleep. Breakfast very enjoyable (but should have been included in the room price). However - room and en suite needed (a) titivating, and (b) a thorough clean.

Our second stay here and unlikely to be the last. Staff were again superb, friendly barmaid checked us in. Large room, tv, kettle, sofa, wardrobe. A little bit of tlc needed. a lick of paint wouldn't go amiss. bet then again it doesn't claim to be the Ritz! Great location for the town centre, literally a stones throw away from... More

Stayed with my hubby after lovely day round Bakewell. Great beer, lovely coffee and obviously popular with the locals too! Comfy bedroom, no pub noise and private too. One of the best breakfasts I've had and I've a sampled a fair few, served with much enthusiasm and very promptly. Will stay again
