I had a fantastic 2 nights stay here at the end of Feb. It's a really lovely place with fantastic staff and comfy rooms with power showers and lots of high quality amenities. Breakfast was incredibly good value and super tasty. Outside of breakfast, the menu is excellent, both lunch and dinner, plus the cake from behind the bar was delicious! Cracking value and ideally located for beautiful walks around the area.

Between adult us we had four different main meals, one side order & one pudding on 2 different occasions recently. The Chicken & Ham Hock pie was very tasty & moist. The "Famous" pie was also good though I struggled to find the bacon & black pudding. The Sunday Roast was superb apart from the bland mashed potato. The big burger was very good & filling. Elsewhere the garlic bread was tasty but the bread & butter pudding special lacked flavour but was a generous portion. All in all I wouldn't hesitate to eat & drink there again. The surroundings are homely & clean. I love the Laurel & Hardy pictures in the toilets. The ale is well kept & the staff are friendly & efficient, particularly the hard working Landlady & young waitress. It has it's own car park opposite.

I came here for a beautiful lunch with my brother and his wife. I was keen to try their famous pie and it was so delicious. The meal was very filling too and the atmosphere here was lovely. The service was good. I will have to go back and try the fish and chips one day as my sister in law loved it!

Located on the main road as you enter into the centre of Castleton.Visited a few times over a couple of days for food and drinks. Very historical old pub/hotel. Beautiful cosy old fashioned pub vibe to the place. Service was welcoming and friendly. We had breakfast and evening meals. Food was good at a reasonable price. A few little things could be improved but overall still definitely one of the better pubs in Castleton and worth a visit.

We visited yesterday evening for the first time in ages, I had steak and ale pie, my partner chicken and ham hock pie. Both meals were delicious but we would have preferred puff pastry rather than shortcrust as the pie lids. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and a few drinks, staff excellent too
