Peak District pub in prime walking territory. A former railway, now a pathway, passes right by, giving the pub a regular stream of customers both drinkers and diners.
Food appears to be a focus. We were greeted on arrival and with most other customers eating, we were expected to ask for a table. However, we became two of only 4 drinkers in the bar area. Sharp's Doom Bar is the regular beer here, whilst guests were Bradfield Farmer's Brown & Thornbridge Brother Rabbit. The interior is quite cosy with a number of different corners to hide away. Views from the rear of the building are impressive.

Restaurant type pub in the main room with some real ale on. There was a nice open fire in the room to the left as you entered from the side.

Two separate areas either side of the central bar in a much-modernised pub. Concentrating on food but has several good ales on offer, including some from the nearby Hartington brewery. A little pricey.
