Description

The Peak District is deservedly renowned for its pubs and hostelries. Whilst nearly all have always served a good pint of real ale, most now also offer reasonably-priced food at lunchtime and in the evening. Some of those in smaller villages have restricted opening times (eg. 12pm-2pm at lunchtime and 5pm-11pm in the evening) so worth checking in advance before heading off.

The nearest pubs to Haddon Grove Farm all serve good food and we can recommend them all.

Over Haddon (1.5 miles) – The Lathkill Hotel – serves pub food and has a small restaurant. Straightforward fare, reasonably priced. Worth booking for evening meals, particularly in the restaurant. Great views across towards Lathkill Dale. Ideal start or end point for a walk through this secluded nature reserve.

Monyash (2 miles) – The Bulls Head – good range of pub food although the landlady isn’t always the most friendly! Perhaps it’s just part of local character! At the other end of the Lathkill Dale walk from Over Haddon

Sheldon (2.5 miles) – The Cock and Pullet – very popular with locals, particularly Sunday lunch. Limited menu, but hot and fresh. Especially recommend the roast dinners with all the trimmings! Opens a 12pm for lunch. Worth booking if more than a couple of people as it gets very busy. There is a nice walk from Haddon Grove Farm up Green Lane and past the Magpie Mine (old lead mining works) to Sheldon. Mostly uphill on the way, but downhill on the way back!

Ashford-in-the-Water (2.5 miles) – picturesque village nestling off the A6. The Bull’s Head serves food which is a cut above the usual. We can particularly recommend the steak sandwich, also the homemade soups and puddings. Also The Ashford Arms – a large pub with plenty of room. Good range of standard pub fare.

Monsal Head (3 miles) – right at the top of Monsal Dale with breathtaking views across the valley with the disused railway viaduct in the foreground. The Monsal – cosy pub overlooking the Dale. Several eating options although generally the same menu. In the main pub, in the converted stableblock (cosy but busy) or outside in the courtyard. Good food and wide selection of beers.

Bakewell (3 miles) – lots of choice of pub, but we can recommend The Castle Inn which offers a good selection of food.

Froggatt (6 miles) – The Chequers Inn – a very popular pub/restaurant offering high quality meals and a wide selection of real ales. Worth booking, particularly in the evening.

Guestbook
We have taken some comments from our Guest Book "Fantastic location with stunning views and excellent standard of accomodation with everything you could need. We all enjoyed the swimming pool and games room and our dog would like a field like that to play football in at home -so sad to leave!" - Ms B Aug 10 "Once again improvements since our last visit - nice new bathroom. We always find holidays here relaxing and invigorating" - Mr B Jul 10 "Had a beautiful time - only problem was having to go home" - Mrs S Oct 09 "We had a lovely weekend and absolutely loved your cottages. We would definitely recommend you to others and stay here again ourselves" - Miss R Sept 09 "The properties (we took two) were spotlessly clean and even early arrivals were made to feel welcome...Clearly these owners care about their property and, more importantly, about their visitors. I certainly hope we will be able to arrange a return visit." - Mr B Apr 09 "Everything is very comfortable and well thought out for families - good attention to detail! Garden and plants are lovely, very well-maintained giving the place a very nice feel. Good luck!" - Ms B - Aug 08 "Nice relaxing break, good accommodation, attention to detail, friendly hosts, very enjoyable" - Mr S - Aug 08 "Great time had by all - we hope to repeat the experience in the not too distant future." - Mr S - Aug 08 "An amazing stay for our whole family. Haddon Grove was so well equipped and beautifully styled with everything thought of. We had 9 adults and 10 children in our party (aged 1-16) and all were entertained and happy for the whole week, despite the weather! Louise and James give an extremely warm welcome, we cant wait to come back on our next trip to Bakewell. Thank you so much!" - Mrs H - Jun 08 "When we come back to the Peak District, we won't stay anywhere else!" - Family B - Apr 08 "Our cottage was lovely, everything was clean, and James & Louise were so friendly and helpful!! The pool was lovely, and we hope to be back to stay again soon! Excellent accomodation & great value for money! - Reeves Family - Swadlincote August 2007
