    Bar meals were below the standard we had experienced on previous visits, and we had to ask for items for our room.

    The Castle Inn made a good base for a holiday in the Peak District, but the accommodation needs TLC.

    Three problems. 1. The window was falling apart and we had to jam it open with the waste bin to get some ventilation. 2. The toilet flush leaked but was replaced while we were there (one week). 3. The choice of breakfast was hit and miss depending on staff availability.

    Good welcome, clean and comfortable room, good quality food. Easy and secure access. Attractive pub in attractive surroundings. Quiet nights.

    Maybe a few comfy chairs in part of the bar area to enjoy a drink after a walk.

    Didn't have breakfast as my husband and I usually only have yoghurt and cereal, small appetites! As I am a lady of a certain age a hand rail would have helped in the shower. The Castle Inn was very well cared for and the staff very friendly. Thank you to everyone. The Chapmans.

    The room’s curtain fell down in the middle of the night which meant getting ready in the morning was a bit difficult as the window directly faces the beer garden and street. The staff were fab though so I’m positive this will quickly and easily get fixed.

    Loved the atmosphere, the staff were great! And the food was delicious ☺️ great location in Bakewell too.

    The only drawback with the room was the light all night which distracted slightly from our sleep. The biggest gap under the door I have ever seen but that was easily rectified by placing a towel over it. It was the green light over the bed that was the problem. The pub, although very convenient for everything in Bakewell, is on a busy road and the outside seating area is next to it which can be quite noisy.

    Very central position. Stayed 2 nights in the Bakewell room upstairs but separate from the pub with our own entrance off the beer garden. Room was adequate and big enough for us with a nice comfy bed. We enjoyed our evening meal when we arrived and the 20% discount was a bonus.

    The room we stayed in was quite dated, we found the bed quite hard (personal choice), some noise outside in the early mornings due to the location of the room (I.E. road traffic, delivery vehicles, noise from the extractor fan on the roof and noise from the kitchen below). This isn’t a complaint as we appreciate these things are out of the pubs control, it’s more of a observation x

    Excellent location, ample facilities for what we needed, thank you x

    Room was on the road which made it incredibly noisy and “beer garden” patrons sat right outside until closing. Appreciate that’s the layout but if made clear in booking I wouldn’t have booked as I am noise sensitive. Dog friendly rooms were converted garaging which was cosily designed but smelled damp and had pervaded the soft furnishings. I did speak to the owners about this and they said they would be washing everything immediately after. Room also wasn’t made up while we were out on Saturday. When I queried this with staff on duty I was told it was “my fault” as I was supposed to leave a card on the door. First time I have ever experienced this in a room/hotel environment.

    Very central to the attractions of Bakewell with a small free car park
