    The location for the venue we were going to was very good. The food at dinner was really good and plenty of it. The whole place was clean, warm and well maintained.

    This was a great place to break our journey between Scottish Highlands and Derbyshire. A friendly pub with excellent food both for an evening meal and breakfast.
