My boyfriend and I stayed here for a weekend. Pioneer House is very homely; our room was quirky and comfortable and I slept like a log in the lovely bed. There was a fairly new flat screen TV in our room but it only had 5 channels.

It is well connected - the train station round the corner gives easy access to and from Sheffield and Manchester. Pioneer House is just down the road from the picturesque village of Hathersage and it is of course surrounded by the beautiful Peak District.

The only somewhat negative comment I have is about breakfast. I should first mention that breakfast in Pioneer House is a pleasant experience - the breakfast room is charming and well stocked, and cooked breakfasts are plentiful. However, we were asked as soon as we arrived what we wanted for breakfast the next day (hadn't even thought about it), and when we came down on the second morning we were expected to have the same thing as we did the morning before without being asked, which I think is a bit unreasonable. Otherwise, the service was friendly and helpful.

Would recommend a drink at the Angler's Arms.

My husband and I really enjoyed our weekend. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean, but reatined a homely atmosphere. I particularly appreciated the victorian bath. There was plenty of hot water to sooth tired muscles after walking miles in the surrounding countryside.

The owners were friendly, helpful and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back for another weekend.

We had a lovely time here thanks to our wonderful hosts who ferried us everywhere as we had no car. The place is very nice and we would stay again. Thanks AAA111+++

Easy to find and located in a good spot to visit local places such as Hathersage, Castleton and Chatsworth. Comfortable rooms which are beautifully decorated - loved the vintage bathroom! Very comfortable beds. Friendly and helpful
service and food was very good.
