I've stopped here previously, it is a lovely hotel in a very quiet rural setting, with lovely gardens.
The breakfast is freshly prepared.
Also a proud Sheffield lad, I give them extra marks for having cutlery " Made in Sheffield "
Ideal place for a quiet, relaxing stay. The staff could not have been any more helpful or accommodating. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice, plus a fresh light bites menu available all afternoon and into the evening.

Lovely hotel, the team there are really really friendly. Breakfast was great!!
Hotel was wonderful. A lot of period features still in tact. Beautiful gardens & location. Bedroom & bathroom showing sighns of wear but still in keeping with the property. Bed was very creaky but comfy. Room was clean. Staff were amazing & very helpful. Had a late afternoon snack in the conservatory & it was delicious. Breakfast was plentiful & also fresh & delicious. Bar was well stocked.
Only downside was no lift so my elderly parents struggled slightly getting up & down the stairs.
Really nice place to stay, the room I had was also huge.
The service was very friendly and efficient, and the breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had.
I stayed here for two nights and had no issues except the toilet stopped flushing but this was sorted within minutes of my mentioning it to a staff member.
The staff were all excellent and are very courteous and polite. The rectory itself is old and the rooms and decor are not modern but this just adds to the charm in my opinion.
All said and done it’s a nice place to stay at a very reasonable price.
