“Amazing getaway to a comfortable inn in an historic building with excellent staff.”
+This is a very old stone building dating to 1577. Today, it's a cozy pub with a fire place, plenty of seating, and a good food. We had a two bedroom accommodation attached to the pub. The pub was good with families and had a good selection of beer. Our room was clean and in excellent condition. Edale is a small town with plenty of walks and hikes nearby, good for experienced hikers and families with kids alike - it's far from everything, but you're probably not getting here without knowing that already.
−We really enjoyed our time here so finding things wrong is tough. The interiors were in great condition but were dated. Since there are only two pubs in Edale, they get business on nights that there are a lot of people in town.

“Great location, but not the quietest!”
+Fantastic location for the Pennine Way, Kinder Scout etc. Lovely setting within the surrounding hills. The pub does great food and the cafe nearby has an excellent breakfast selection. The rooms were basic, clean and comfortable - perfect for a couple of days in the peaks. Reasonably equipped kitchen but the other options were good so we didn't really use it. Bed was comfy. It's a bit pricey but you pay a premium for the location.
−We stayed in Grindsbrook Cottage, which is a flat above the pub kitchens on the back of the building. I was in the single room and there was a loud hum/vibration from (I think) the kitchen extractor fans behind a vent in the wall. It was difficult to sleep until it went off at about 10.30pm but then, unfortunately, there were a group of young men outside on the picnic tables chatting and drinking until past midnight. Staff didn't move them on... Also, the water pressure in the shower was terrible!

“Fantastic”
+Perfect location for the high peaks. Great pub with good food and great range of ales. Nice to have a very spacious cottage rather than just a room.
−Not a complaint, but bear in mind this is a cottage with a kitchenette, so remember to bring your own breakfast materials as breakfast is not included. There are good cafes in Hope village for breakfast.

+Great location, pub food was great. Bar was busy, couldn’t get a table so they delivered it upstairs.
−Beds and furniture are dated and a bit basic and not very comfortable. I think they are used to muddy walkers so not much thought for comfort. Hardly any kitchen utensils.

+Lovely 2 bedroom cottage at the back of the pub and next to the beer garden. Gorgeous setting in Edale. Clean, quiet and well equipped for a short stay.

“Great location for walkers with comfortable accommodation”
+Great location for walkers. The Old Nags Head offered cottage style accommodation attached to the pub. It offered a small living room and kitchenette. The cottage was clean and comfortable
−One bedroom was above what I assume was a chiller or air conditioner and there was a constant hum. Not too distracting but it meant that we had to close the window during the night making the room hot

“Comfortable, great location, all you need.”
+Location fantastic just above the pub and in the heart of Edale. Wonderful little cottage equipped with all you need. Kitchen has cafetière, fridge, good selection of crockery and cleaning equipment, comfortable beds, cool in the hot weather. Pub does lovely evening meals and beer garden was busy with a good atmosphere.
−Silly really but a staff member I saw the week before we came said there was no cafetière in the cottage and no bread knife so I didn’t bring any real coffee and planned to borrow a steak knife to cut my bread up. I always like proper coffee in the morning. The cottage was in fact really well equipped in the kitchen which you’d expect for self catering especially as the pub doesn’t do breakfast. So they need to communicate with each other better because I missed my proper coffee and we had to leave before the Cafe across the road opened.
