The Blind Bull, Little Hucklow

The room we stayed in at the back of the pub called The Old Barn was amazing. So clean, eco friendly and spacious. We did think the top floor overlooking the lounge area could be utilised better as there was just a massive dining table in there. The staff and dining in the pub was exceptional.

Fabulous stay and food

We had a fantastic stay: very comfortable and spacious room, well kept and decorated, brand new and in pristine conditions. But the best part of all was the amazing dinner and fabulous breakfast. The food and the service was exceptional. We would highly recommend staying and eating at the Blind Bull.

Fantastic stay in this gastropub. Finished to a high standard in an amazing part of the peaks. Breakfast was stunning and our evening dinner was first class. Only minor quibble was hearing the people above us in our room

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The people that run it are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms are done to an exceptionally high standard and the breakfast was superb. There is also excellent parking which is ideal for anyone with a classic car. Furthermore, its dog friendly so next time the furry one will be coming with us. See you again soon!

Quiet as a Barn Owl

Lovely location-off the beaten track-with easy access to usual tourist spots. Stayed for 3 nights-on 2 of these nights the pub was closed-in the detached Manor House Barn.The facilities here are first rate. Will be looking to undertake a return visit to sample the excellent food offering

We stayed in the self contained cottage, which has loads of space for two. Lovely combination of modern and traditional design. Bathroom well designed with large walk in shower. Restaurant is excellent. Overall thoroughly recommended as a base in the Peak District, Castleton is a 15 min drive.

Disliked: Staff & service
Regretfully, we booked a suite but it turns out they were double-booked and put us in an another, smaller room, which didn’t have the same facilities. Staff were quite dismissive and told us to complain to Expedia and ask for a refund as the room they put us in was cheaper. 3 days later and the Expedia can’t contact the management to arrange a refund of any kind. Such a shame because it is a lovely place and the foot in the pub was genuinely excellent. But we paid an additional £185 for this meal for two and they didn’t even arrange a drink as a means of apology. I think we’ve been very reasonable.

We had a fabulous 1 night stay, room was beautiful, patio area was great too. Only negative feedback was no milk and only a coffee machine which was awful for tea drinkers as the water tastes like coffee still. Saying this however we would come back and just bring a kettle! :0)

Beautiful location and lovely accommodation

Lovely location in the scenic countryside and super clean accommodation with gorgeous bathroom and comfy bed. Food was very tasty but portions on the small side. Breakfast could definitely do with some small but significant extras. No choice of fruit juice, no toast or cereals and no ketchup or brown sauce available. I’m not keen on muffins and cinnamon rolls for breakfast so a choice would have been better. Tried to have some bar snacks, but they were too busy in the restaurant so couldn’t serve us anything but bread. I would stay here again for the location and comfort but they could up their game when it comes to other areas..

Great place to stay. Worth noting breakfast was included but the confirmation email stated no cooked breakfast on Mondays. No mention of this before booking. Still great room and would recommend it.
