Cons:

• "We weren't allowed in the pub with our dog."
• "Booked a table for 2 persons the day before which was a Saturday, to go for Sunday lunch. When we arrived we were shown to our table, we we're seated right next to the log fire which was in full swing. The heat from it was too much my husband leg and face got really hot the heat was unbearable."
• "Firstly it's on a high speed road and you will want to slow down as you get near because it's easy to miss the turn."
• "Seems it's the only pub in peak district with a no dog policy, found out on a walk from hayfield."
