The room was as you would expect for the money. The major disappointment was the lack of a blind for the skylight which meant the room was very light until quite late and then again from early, a nightmare for trying to get children to sleep.

Friday limited staff food finished at 7:00 pm. Hotel Alarm at 5am on Saturday morning. Staff did not have a fire drill, and were untrained. Saturday Evening no food as they ran out of gas. Sunday morning only veg breakfast was scrambled eggs on toast as the Chef had gone to the football. Rooms are mouldy and unclean. No mattress protectors. As a walkers pub it is brilliant but staying overnight is a very different experience.

Fantastic location for exploring Ladybower Reservoir, nice quiet accommodation with a super comfy bed and spacious room. The food was excellent and staff very friendly and helpful. Love the fact it was very dog friendly too with dog food and treats on sale at the bar too being a nice touch. Only stayed one night, next time we hope to stay longer.

An all round great location
The pub is right next to Lady Bower Reservoir and makes a great location to either drive to places such as Edale, Castleton or to walk straight from. We walked from the pub in the morning up to Bamford Edge. The view in the morning just makes you feel great. The service is very good. For the price, the hotel rooms were great, being clean, relatively spacious and nicely laid out. We had a family room and there was a double bed and 2 singles, no strange surprises when we got there (which happens sometimes with family rooms, like 2 double beds or a sofa bed). The pub itself was splendid. The food was good, (in particular the pie, the soup and the breakfast in the morning). The beer was good and the staff were really friendly and made you feel at home. We’d definitely go back again and look forward to it. I think it’s going to be a regular place now as we’ve tired of the unpredictable nature of camping outside of the summer months!

Friendly and helpful staff but noisy
I have no fault with the staff, the location or the general facilities of the hotel. You can literally walk up a bridleway from the hotel layby onto the moors and the reservoirs are close by.The problem was with difficulty getting to sleep. The hand dryer from the pub toilets was noticeable and all through the night there were cars being driven fast past the hotel, presumably to race up the Snake Pass. This was not helped by the relatively short distance to the traffic lights leading to lots of loud standing starts and heavy acceleration through the gears as vehicles passed the hotel.
The bridleway from the hotel lay-by.

Accommodation tired,staff amazing,food sensational
Overall had an okay stay. The accommodation was a little tired and the room we were in was very close to a very busy road. I had to get up 3 times in the night to close an exterior door as people kept leaving it open and the traffic noise was very loud. The other guests were not very repsectful, stomping up stairs and banging doors. The service in the inn was exceptional, the ladies were very friendly nothing too much trouble, the food was amazing. Breakfast was a must, do not miss this.

Amazing Inn
Our stay at the Ladybower Inn was great. After a 22km hike, the Inn was right off a public footpath which was convenient and checkin was also swift. We had a lovely little view of the reservoir from our room. Staff are very nice and friendly, and we really enjoyed dinner + an amazing selection of breakfast!

A nice 3 day stay while working at a nearby cement works, but with a friend who enjoyed the area while walking. Staff were so friendly, great breakfasts and big thanks to the manager Lars who was the barman when we arrived too late for the chef, but went above that duty and cooked us a lovely fish-n-chip supper.

Not cleaned properly. Drink and chocolate ifrom previous guest in the wardrobe and empty biscuit wrappers behind bed side table. On check in was simply given a key. Had to go back to check on parking to be told I need to enter details on a tablet in the bar. Surely this should be explained at check in! As should the WiFi log in! Though was told not to bother with WiFi by the barmaid as she said it was rubbish. She was correct. Very dark at front door of room 6. Had to use phone light to unlock!
