Loved by The Dog & Partridge Country Inn guests
"Accommodation is like a little village of chalets in the grounds of the pub, all adequate with flat screen tv."
"As a central location for visiting Chatsworth we could not have chosen better & Dovedale, Matlock Bath, Ashbourne are all close by, so that even for our short stay we were able to pack in a lot."
"We also opted for a pre packed lunch to bring to Alton towers which was very good value for money."

i loved the parking situation. each room had its own allocated parking right outside. the conservatory dining area was nice. the food was tasty. the hosts were cute and happy to help, this.
The soap provided in the bathroom was a tiny disc. a wall-mounted dispenser or bottle of hand wash would have been better. It is a minor detail.
