"I received a recommendation from a shopkeeper in Hartington that instead of paying for parking at the NP carpark, I could enjoy tea and cakes at the tearoom and park for free. Sure enough, there was a sign that said "spend a penny with me and park for free"! I bought a takeaway cup of tea for my thermos and headed off along the Manifold Trail, knowing I was welcome to park for as long as I liked. After three hours of walking, I treated myself to a delicious slice of Banana and Pistachio cake and a hot chocolate (from a machine, but still good). There was also a small gift shop with postcards and local crafts to browse through. The service was friendly, and I found it to be a great deal to be able to park for free in exchange for a drink and snack that I would have bought anyway. Note: Parking is free with purchase from the tearoom."

"This pub is a real find. Bruce and Chris were lovely hosts, and (their son)? The lads who were doing the music. No food served here, but don't let that put you off... The gardens are so lovely and to have a drink on the terrace around early evening is a must. Great wine too, we can recommend the Pinot Grigio! Also we left an item of clothing behind and Bruce kindly offered to send it on to our home address. Really thoughtful and caring folk. We just wished we could have spent more time there. I'd love to go back in the winter when the fire is on and experience the ambience from the inside. Parking: We actually walked, but there is parking."

"My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered a cream tea with scones and cream, but it did not meet my expectations. The scones were flat and overly sweet, almost like eating sugary flour. The cream provided was not real cream, but a cheap whipped substitute. While the atmosphere and service were pleasant, the quality of the food left much to be desired. I left feeling unsatisfied and wishing for a refund."

"I would rate this pub a zero if possible… We came to this pub after a long walk around Wetton in the thunder and lightning. We order coffees and cakes and sat down and one of our friends had a salad pre packed because of his diet. We was then giving a dirty look by an old woman I guess was either the owner or wife of the owner. She rudely said “you cannot eat food in these premises” then proceeded to make comments as she was walking off. We continued to finish our drinks and then the chef came up to our table with shouting saying “you cannot eat that, I’ve been slaving away since 7am this is a restaurant, would you do this anywhere else?” The lady then said in passing “I hope you suffocate on that muffin” which was brought from the pub. Which is absolutely vile when we’re lining their pockets. We proceeded to say we’ve spent money here and we’ve only come for a quick drink and also mention how disgusting it was how they approached the situation instead of asking politely, to which we would’ve been more understanding. The chef actually came across as quite threatening and we felt very unwelcome. So we finished our drinks and left. Highly recommend avoiding this pub if you’re having a good day. This ruined our experience as a whole. What a shame.."

"We thought we would give this pub/ campsite a try as we wanted to cycle the tissington trail we booked onto the campsite at the back for £25 a night. We have a VW T6 Camper van. Positives: The pub is set in a lovely village has a cozy fire up the chimney and serves great food the chips were amazing!! The campsite pitches are spacious and it was quiet at night. Negatives: the shower facilities were in need of renovation they were clean but not heated and nowhere to change in privacy the shower itself was hot but the little block was FREEZING. For £25 a night we expected better to be honest the washing up facility was the same unfortunately looked like it needs a refurb. This is why we can only give 3 stars. A great tip for the pub would be if your touring customers are paying £25 a night then maybe offer them a discount off their food bill if they eat with you…. Most other pubs with campsites do this. We did enjoy our time here but because of the primitive shower facilities would not come back for camping."
