The Cheshire Cheese Inn

We enjoyed staying at this traditional inn and meeting the lovely people who run it. It felt like such a genuine, honest, real place - somewhere we could relax and breathe easily, in contrast to the massive chain hotel we had just been staying in in Liverpool, where sheer numbers of guests led inevitably to a dehumanized, mass-produced feel. Here we were real people in a real place eating real food and sleeping in a real room with character and personality. The towels were folded into the shape of swans, the bed was so soft, there was a warm private bathroom with a separate shower and bath, all beautifully clean. From our window we could see the river and the high hills, we could watch the rain sweeping across the landscape and the sun rising clear above the billowing clouds. The walk from the station took us past quietly grazing sheep and banks of sunlit yellow daffodils. We are grateful and very happy to have had such a restorative time here. Thank you to everyone, and long may it continue.

We popped in for some post hike sustenance last Sunday and the food was exactly what we needed! 2 perfect roasts and 2 scrummy desserts, me and my partner were fighting over the gravy bowls! I recommend the hot chocolate fudge cake with the cold double cream, although I am a little biased! We are not locals but we wish we were! We will be back...

Cheshire Cheese, Eden Road. Great stay in the heart of the Peak District. Friendly service, great food and excellent beers.

Friendly staff, great food fantastic overnight stay for young / old couples who want to wake up with the countryside at there frontdoor. Amazing night was had by all

Stayed at the pub Friday and Saturday 31st January and 1st February. The room was very clean & the bed was super comfortable. The heating made the room very difficult to get out of bed, it was that toasty! We had an issue with the TV / wi fi on the first day. I went down to the bar to get some advice and a very friendly chap (he used to work there) sorted it out for us! Great stuff. We ate in the pub on Saturday night. The food was excellent and value for money. The pub was in an ideal spot for us to explore the Peak District. The breakfast on both mornings set us up for the day and we didn't feel like we needed to eat lunch afterwards! Well done to Laura and her husband for being great hosts.

Mid week Peak break Great location. Friendly landlord offering tips on best places for walks etc. Good breakfast. Room quite cosy but bathroom could do with an update and better window insulation.
