    Basic comfy bed for the night. No breakfast

    Large green safety exit light lit up the room really bright, and gaps round curtains meant eye patches are needed if you are a light-sensitive sleeper like me. Room 2 faces the road and needs to have curtains closed all the time for privacy getting ready. A sheer blind would be good to let light in during the day yet give privacy and can have curtains open. There is not much space in the bathroom to put 2 people's toiletries, which could do with a shelf over the sink. Bit too much big furniture in the room made moving about awkward - couldn't put bags in the wardrobe as a huge old trouser press takes a lot of it up. Needs an iron instead to make wardrobe fully usable by guests. These small changes would improve the stay. Tip. These are rooms above a pub - be sure to check the pub opening and closing times. Tip. This is a bed only basis. Lots of breakfast choices in Penistone and surrounding areas. Tip. Bring your own Hairdryer. Available on request to have in the room.

    Welcoming hosts. Comfortable mattress made for a comfy sleep. Freedom to come and go independent to the pub opening times (apart from a late check-in at 4.30).

    Easy access, good parking, was stress free, was exactly what we expected for the amount paid.

    Did exactly what we needed for a 1 night as a family, we have family in the area, we would definitely use again.

    The shower room was quite cramped. You can't get breakfast here.

    The room has everything we needed including tea making facilities. Check in was easy but you must check in before pub closes to get access to the room keys.

    Having to go out for breakfast? Not a big problem as we found/were told of a good place to go which did not disappoint. Could have done with a couple of hours extra in bed Saturday morning due to having had a great Friday evening!

    Lovely pub which, as a family of 6 and an eleven month old, we took over for a couple of nights! Yvonne was most welcoming and accommodating. Made to feel very welcome. Sorted out a takeaway for the Friday night and taxis for a wedding we were going to on the Saturday.

    The radiator wouldn’t switch off on the first night I was there. Believe me, I tried everything to switch it off. It was hot, the window was small and didn’t let the heat out, so had a poor night’s sleep as a result.

    It’s handy for going to Lavender international on courses.
