    Radiator was on full blast in single bedroom. Unable to turn it down. Could turn it off in twin room. A bright green light on the ceiling on all night disturbing sleep. Fire exit safety light? Not necessary in this day and age, no other hotels have it. Already have a fire exit just outside the door. A lot of noise out in the corridor late at night.

    Twin room was fine. Modern style. Comfy beds. Nice staff. Generous tea and coffee. Good car park. Bar downstairs. Great value.

    Breakfast is not on offer, which is fairly important when you are cycling all day. However, sandwiches are available just up the road.

    Location is good for the Trans Pennine Trail. Secure bike lock up overnight.

    The rain, but it was the same over the entire country!

    We arrived late and left early. The landlady greeted us in a friendly manner and showed us around. Thereafter we didn't see a soul as we left straightaway for a family party, came back and fell into bed, woke up, showered and left. All good!

    Some noise on Saturday evening but it is a pub however more noise possibly as someone mentioned previously that a chiller above is causing the room to vibrate with creaking sounds a lot of time in this room.

    Great price and great location., it is central for national parks around the area.This place is perfect for the Trans Pennine Trail and Peak District. Bed was comfortable and room was accessbile at back via with easy parking.

    Shame it doesn’t do food but we took a short drive to Penistone and found plenty of options.

    Clean and comfortable room. Easy access to fields to walk to dog. Free pool on a Tuesday night meant we were entertained. Staff were friendly.
