Beautiful location and a beautiful building. The owner Steve and the staff are the loveliest people, very welcoming and friendly/chatty. Really made us feel at home as soon as we arrived to check in. The Lavender room is relaxing and oozes luxury and comfort. The food was perfection - we ordered the sirloin and my compliments to the chef, ultimate happy dancing! First night and such a strong impression has been made, we are already planning a second visit and looking forward to the rest of our stay, going home will be hard.

first time visit , booked a table for lunch,.they only service lunch menu. the prices of lunch meals were reasonable.the vegetable soup was hot and good. the batter of fiah and chips were crispy. the custards that come with apple crumbles and sticky toffee pudding were only half of a small jugs. a good service as they gave us more custards when we asked for more.

If visiting Bolsover. Then the Sanctuary Inn is definitely the place to go for drinks or food. Steve the owner and all the lovely helpful staff always give you a warm friendly welcome, along with the talented chefs dishing up the finest of food at very reasonable prices Myself and my wife had the mixed Paella last night. Friday14th March. Fantastic flavours and a nice sized portion. Full to busting. The food and service given here is always second to none. Having sampled most of the food and tapas on the menus and the specials board. We can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Sunday dinner is also a treat to be enjoyed. Sometimes with live music to enjoy with your dinner. Once the weather picks up and warmer days arrive There is a walled beer garden to the rear of the Inn. Where you can sit and enjoy food or drinks in the fantastic sun trap, with fruit trees and flowers it is a really pleasant setting. We mostly take our dog Ruby with us. So if you’re a dog owner, lover. You are welcome at this dog friendly venue to bring along your family friend with you. Drinking water bowls always available for your dog. So what’s not to like. Give it a try. PS. Make sure you try Steve’s special freshly made Sangria. Dave, Jilly and Ruby dog.

Wednesday night had the set steak meal, with sharing board starter of meats and olives, with a bonus red wine each…£38 for two of us….unbelievable. We do eat out a lot ( it’s our age ) but that’s as good as we’ve had in a long time, couple that with table service by two lovely young ladies who were so attentive but not over bearing, tonight was a truly fantastic culinary experience….we shall be back. Well done Sanctury and your team

We've had Sunday dinner several times since The Sanctuary changed hands . It's always been good but yesterday it was excellent. The biggest change was that instead of a dish of boiled vegetables they now serve diced, roasted root vegetables along with red cabbage and broccoli spears ( on the plate) which were so full of flavour . The cauliflower cheese was delicious with a crisp cheese topping . For desert I had the Bakewell tart with custard , my husband had tiramisu and both were very tasty . The staff were so friendly and attentive which made the whole dining experience a pleasure We will certainly be going back and can highly recommend
