Mixed review..
The rooms are directly below the bar as restaurants area, the chairs being moved can be heard up until 10pm and it is not relaxing unfortunately. We wanted a cosy night in the room before a big hike the next day… The rooms below the bar don’t get much fresh air, which leaves quite a stale smell. On a positive note… Bedding was very crisp and clean. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough. We enjoyed scampi and home cooked chips for dinner!!! 10 minutes drive from the Kinder Scout walking route which was amazing.

This bed and breakfast is in an ideal location, the facilities are great, the food in the restaurant is lovely and not too expensive and the rooms are clean, spacious and warm. They are spotlessly clean and you have everything you need here.

Lovely Inn in a great location, lovely staff
Beautiful Inn. Rooms were lovely and very spacious. Staff were friendly and young girl that checked us in was so lovely, never stopped smiling. Location was perfect for us as we did the Kinder Scout walk from here. Check in wasnt until 4pm but we were able to park there from 10am for no extra charge. Meal in the evening was great and the fact you were able to take in dogs to the snug area afterwards was lovely. Highly reccommend

Very enjoyable, fabulous food
The welcome was warm, despite good covid measures, everyone was very helpful and very happy to help. The food was fabulous at every meal, and the beer selection and quality was great. Parking was plentiful, easy and seemed secure. The location of the hotel is quiet and excellent for walking, cycling, motorcycling or just visiting the peak district. Our only complaint was the room was cold when we arrived, and as it was cold outside (October), it took the radiator several hours to warm the room up to a comfortable level. The mattress was also a bit creaky and noisy, possibly due to the room being kept cold between guests. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would heartily recommend the hotel and everyone there that made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you.

We stayed for a friends wedding and had booked all the bedrooms. It was like they were part of our family and really took care of us and made us feel at home. Breakfast was brilliant, and the staff were very adaptable and helpful when we wanted to have a space for our friends mini hen do. Would definitely stay again!

Good value for money.
Good food, friendly staff and a clean room. This place is priced appropriately for the package you get. You could pay a lot more for something not much better. The breakfast was particularly tasty and well presented. It was close to Manchester and ideal for the Peak District. I was surprised it wasn’t busier.

We weren’t warned about a pool match taking place meaning our room was noisy until 2300 and the children could not get to sleep. Not a good arrangement when offering family rooms. Would have been nice to be able to stand in the shower as well due to low ceiling.

A very friendly and welcoming place.
We stayed at The Sycamore because it was ideally situated for a wedding we were attending. It is located in a lovely village within beautiful surrounding countryside, great for walking. The room was plain and basic, but comfortable, and the bed was comfy too. What really made the stay was the owners. They were so friendly, chatty and accommodating with a super sense of humour and I would stay again because of them. The breakfast was gorgeous and the main pub area and restaurant were beautifully maintained.

1 night stay
First impressions were good with a freshly decorated room. Unfortunately the shower kept breaking so we were moved to another room which was not as nice but was OK. Staff were quick to help and try to fix but as they couldn't we were moved rooms with no fuss. Had a meal on the terrace which was decent and again staff were always friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and overall was a decent stop. Not a lot to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel so better for a short stay than long one unless you are driving out each day.

Not for business
Lovely hotel if you want to get away from it all and explore the beautiful area. Unfortunately if you are on business and need wifi then this isn't for you. Little or no wifi throughout the hotel although it claimed to have it everywhere. Food and staff where exceptional. My room was lovely although needed a little tlc as only 1 of 4 lights where working in the bathroom.

A great surprise
It was only a brief overnight stay but the Inn was great, the room was a great comfortable size. The food I had was freshly cooked. Would like to stay again to try more of the food and drink and also see the surrounding area.
