Lovely touch of a cake left for us by the owner and when we needed to ask something, rsponse was very fast

The hot tub was great, especially after a day filled with hiking etc⦠The location is great, with many pubs (highly recommend "The Crown Inn at Totley" the food was superb! & lovely bar staff) close by. Bakewell is very pretty and the associated tarts & puddings are excellent. Pool table is great, if a bit old, and the table football is always a giggle. There are a few minor niggles with loose fittings in the bathrooms, but nothing to spoil a stay here, but it could do with a little maintenance boost. Would definitely stay at The Old Robin Hood again.

The photos donât do it justice, as itâs far more spacious and stunning in real life. It was perfect for our gathering, and such a great space for hosting the celebrating. The hosts were superb for communication and the hot tub and pool table were a great addition to our girls weekend away! We would definitely recommend staying here.
