The Sycamore Inn in High Peak

Wow!! Absolutely stunning Xmas dinner. Perfect Turkey and the trimmings were spot on. Lovely evening and the waitress was personal and attentive. Lovely meal and so reasonable for the quality.

The room was dirty, with stains on the bedding and mould in the bathroom. All of the rooms are directly under the bar/restaurant, which means they are very noisy and the only window looks into the communal corridor, causing no view, no privacy and a lack of natural light.

We received a lovely warm welcome when we arrived here last night, which is always a good start. Our absolutely delicious food was served quickly and the portions were generous. All in all, couldn’t have wanted better and we will be back!

We haven't been for a while but we frequently revisit the Peaks. The Sycamore, a great pub to eat home cooked favourites.

Really pleased to be allowed access to room early as we arrived early for local wedding. Also that they found a dog- friendly room even though we hadn’t booked one with a doggy goody box which was a lovely touch Very clean and comfortable room Loved the comfy bed. The owners and their team were all super friendly and professional. Superb breakfast. We will definitely return

Warm, welcoming and professional, all staff were helpful and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and clean, we found the beds very comfy. Good size bathroom with powerful shower. WiFi was easy to connect to and reliable. Large carpark, outdoor seating and grassy area for children to play. Breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much trouble.

Rang in advance to book our camper on the carpark overnight, spoke to a very friendly lady. Good beer, great food, friendly staff. Just a little expensive, but its a sign of the times. A very quiet overnight stay. Would return.

This was a fantastic short break, set in beautiful surroundings, a very good sized car park, lots of outside seating, a large area down near the car park, with plenty of bench seating/tables. A large area where children can play ball games(bring your own ball? i didn't ask if they had any). The hosts Sammy and Daz were truly welcoming and friendly, and managed all so well. I absolutely loved the food - got slightly addicted to the chunky chips and fishcakes! delicious. All of the staff were kind pleasant and attentive without being overly intrusive. The accommodation was lovely, my room had a double bed and i could look out of the window whilst sitting comfortably in my bed with a cup of tea, which both the tea and coffee were of good quality, I'm sure the bed linen was Egyptian cotton, best nights sleep in ages! There was a lovely well thought out dressing table with a mirror , enough drawers and a cupboard to hang clothes. A lovely on suite bathroom with a good shower. All very clean and kept well by house keeping. On the dresser there was an information folder with wifi codes and local attractions. The pub is above the rooms but at no time did i notice any loud noises. the pub part has several rooms dining area cubby and bar area, again all clean lovely and inviting, the locals were also very friendly. there is a small town just down the road and a bit further a few bigger shops next and similar. I mostly went for rest relaxation and recuperation and this was achieved with ease,,, for me it was idyllic I mostly just

My husband and I arrived on Friday 9th June 2023, we stayed till Sunday 11th June our son held his wedding reception here, the welcome from Darren and Sammie was amazing, nothing was too much trouble the way we were all looked after was fantastic, food was excellent from breakfast through to the wedding meal, buffet in the evening just exceptional, all staff were so friendly nothing was to much trouble, we can not recommend the sycamore enough they really are a top class place to stay, this was our third time we stayed and we will definitely be back , the service and friendliness of all staff is just five star, Jackie Roseblade

Stayed in the massive car park in our campervan. Lovely bike ride down the sett trail. Went for food in the pub which was excellent. Lovely friendly staff who greeted us well. A deffinate winner. Chips were 8/10 great well cooked steak. If you wish to stay ring and book in advance.

We enjoyed our visit. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The interior of the inn is very well kept and decorated. The food was lovely too, and of a much higher standard than the average pub. The area is wonderfully scenic. We will be back.

As always the staff are brilliant. Absolutely no complaints about their service. They go above and beyond. I eat here quite often and have always had excellent food. I really appreciate the fact they do half portions which are invaluable for older customers. BUT on this occasion I ordered the green veg melody risotto (not available as a half portion). The menu says it’s “cooked in a creamy arborio rice” …. mine was a sloppy soup with bits of rice and vegetables in it. So much so that I had to ask for a spoon to eat it. Yes, it was really tasty which was why I ate it … but it was NOT a risotto, not what I expected and which should have been, at the very least, of a porridge type consistency. When I complained (& I reiterate it did taste good), I was told that was the way it was supposed to be. I’m sorry … it was a soup not a risotto. On paying the bill I said I was dissatisfied and, to give her credit, the waitress gave it to me for half price. However I would have been much more satisfied if the “half price” option had been offered without me asking for a reduction.

Excellent staff. Very welcome. Rooms were good and excellent bathroom. Food was very good and great atmosphere in the bar. We had a dog which was made very welcome. Good facilities for walking dogs. Downside was location of the rooms. They were situated under the bar and restaurant. Could hear footsteps on Saturday night until midnight. On Sunday it quietened down about 10pm! Nothing we could do about it.

This wasn’t our first visit to the Sycamore. We go regularly throughout the year and always at Christmas. The same wonderful friendly welcome always awaits, along with a roaring fire in the winter. Our kids and teens are always in tow as are our dogs! Fabulous home cooked food, fabulous wines and always a local beer for the blokes! Nothing is too much trouble for Sammy, Darren and the team - and the puddings are literally to die for!!!! Never had a bad experience in all the years we’ve been going! Thank you guys 😍😍

Fantastic and attentive staff and the food was lush! The “boss” and I arrived Easter Sunday for lunch. Warm welcome and our server was oh so sweet and lovely. Great Sunday lunch and a very pleasant Malbec! Bar manager sorted a taxi for us too. Really good place. Recommended!

You would be hard pressed to find a more welcoming pub! Child and dog friendly, lovely home made food, always warm and well kept. It’s a home from home. Sunday roasts are the best, amazing Yorkshire puds, home made pan gravy and lovely veg. Can’t...

Processed food heated through. Told staff Sunday Lunch was dry when asked why we’d left the food. When leaving we overheard another couple complaining to staff with the exact same comments. We paid our bill in full with the mindset, we won’t return. Don’t like...

Despite being a"dog friendly" pub we were made to feel quite unwelcome with our dogs and children. We live in New Mills and would definatly find somewhere else to eat in the future .

This is our favourite place to get away too, the hotel, the staff, the food is all 5 star. We are never disappointed. Every meal is beautiful. We stayed for 2 nights this time, it was lovely to be welcomed back like old friends. The...

We had our wedding celebration meal here and can't thank the owners and staff enough for making it a wonderful day to remember. Sammy was so relaxed and helpful, allowing us to choose from the main restaurant menu for our wedding meal and even putting...

Daz and Sammy are the perfect hosts catering for all customers in a way that makes you feel at home. They suggest that all who arrive as guests leave as friends and I couldn’t agree more. Their knowledge of the area is exceptional so you’ll...

Well what can I say about this amazing hotel. Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights as a little relaxing break and it exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The beautiful picturesque location with amazing views and walk make our stay extra...

I went the Sycamore Inn on Saturday for an afternoon tea for my hendo and the experience was outstanding. The food quality was outstanding, and catered to everyone's individuals tastes - the vegan option had a massive selection of cakes, and was all hand made....

Visited on the recommendation of friends. The Inn itself is nice, though has more of a corporate than a personal feel. We both had Birra Moretti to drink, which tasted very watered down. The menu's had a wide variety of very nice sounding meals but...

We were staying locally, and Celebrating 29 years of Marriage. We were booked in to the Packhorse, but changed to the Sycamore as it looked nice pub food. We checked the place out that afternoon during a walk, we had a couple of drinks. The...

Booked a room at the last minute - didn’t know what to expect. It was very friendly, very clean & food was good. Can’t fault.

Excellent food, friendly staff and permission to stay in the car park overnight all really appreciated. Definitely one to return to.

We got married 7th August 2021, although it was originally booked April 2020 (covid delay). I honestly cannot put into words how amazingly helpful Sammy and her staff at the Sycamore were with postponing, then rearranging the day. I have to admit I am not...

We booked a table for outdoors for six people. They do a text confirmation which it turns out is really useful as it gives a number to ring if you need to make a change. My friends were coming up from London and were running...

Food was great. In fact, everything was great. Location, room, staff, owners, food, wine & love for Milo. Thank you. We will be back x

Excellent village pub with great food and perfect coffee! We arrived on a cool wet August day after a long wet walk. It was very cheering to find real coal fires gently glowing in the various rooms. Good choice of food including some nice vegetarian...

Our 2nd visit of many to come. This is my favourite place. The staff are so friendly n after our first visit we already felt like part of the family. The food is beautiful. Nothing is too much trouble. They just have a way of...

This pub is listed in the Britsops Handbook which offers overnight parking to Motorhomes. We arrived hoping to have a meal at this place only to find that it was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which was not shown in the handbook. The place seemed...

Attended the sycamore inn with my boyfriend after arriving in the peaks. We have been this restaurant twice before and enjoyed the full experience. Unfortunately we did not this time. We have come for a break due to some health issues and wanted a peaceful...

We called the landlady Sammy at very short notice to fit in our table of 18 (including 3 children) for our wedding meal after our small ceremony this month. It was short notice due to the pandemic again changing our plans. Sammy did a fantastic...

We had a wonderful stay, great staff, awesome food, dog friendly. A central location for our hike Edale - Mam Tor - Kinder Scout - Jacob's Ladder! Made my partners birthday celebration extra special.

Absolutely awful. Do not go. Food over priced and not worth half the price it is sold at. Useless staff and not worth your money

My wife and I picked the sycamore inn from reviews on trip advisor, and was not disappointed, beautiful restaurant and very tasty food, we had the stake and ale pie and the bbq half roast chicken, and both of us cleared the plates, very enjoyable...

What an amazing hotel. The room was lovely n clean. The warm welcome we received- all the staff were so friendly n helpful. We had lunch evening meal n breakfast n every meal the food was excellent. We had a cozy table in front of...

We had dinner here and the food, service and safety measures are all brilliant. A special mention must go to the marvellous people running and working here for creating such a warm and friendly place to eat out where nothing was too much trouble. Well...

The Sycamore Inn, is by far the best place to go for quality home cooked food, nothing is too small or to big for Sammy & Daz who run the Inn. All the staff are fanatic and remember your name and your drink for when...

I have had the delight of having this pub as my local, run by the delightful Sammy and Daz, for over 5 years. There is now a one way system set up to ensure social distancing and the tables are laid out perfectly with a...

My husband and my 84 year old mum had 3 meals in the Sycamore so far since it reopened. The food was great, hospitality was fantastic. So, so glad to see them open again. On all occasions we have been in for food we have...

We are so impressed with the care taken by all the staff at the Sycamore Inn with Covid regulations to make our first trip out after lock down one in which we felt safe and very well looked after. We highly recommend the Sycamore Inn.

My wife, her mum.and I have had 2 meals in the Sycamore so far since it reopened. The meals were as good as they ever were and recommended but I want to concentrate here on the 'Covid' safety aspect. There is a queuing system first...

No social distancing by any of the staff, however when the landlord and landlady aren't making any attempt to social distance, there's no example for the staff to follow. Disappointing set up given The Sycamore has the room to provide a safe environment. Just not good enough to have staff in no PPE leaning over you...and no attempt to take details for track and trace either. Wont be returning

We had lunch here last Friday. A very warm welcome from all the staff. A roaring fire made for a cosy setting.An excellent menu with lots of choice. The thing I liked best was that you could have small portions. This was great, meaning I could have three courses, and enjoy, without feeling bloated.I had mushrooms in cream sauce. Served with a warm baby hovis type loaf. We both chose the caramelised onion and cheese flan. It was delicious. Lovely fresh salad and gorgeous real chips. Syrup sponge and custard was divine. Light, beautifully served and lovely creamy custard.Very reasonably priced, lovely setting. We will be back very soon

The food was excellent but the music was dire! Even when they changed it, it was equally as bad, and didn’t do much for the ambience!

Every time we visit we have a high quality experience with food drink and customer service. I love the way the bar and dining areas are set out and he function room was perfect for our wedding. Our favourite is the steak night on a Thursday we make it a family treat about once a month. Good access for the less able from the front door off the main road and half portions available from most of the main menu which is great for my elderly mum as she has a smaller appetite and can choose from a range of dishes. Perfect for family meals out and we take our dogs out into the balcony area in warmer weather where you get a fabulous view of the surrounding hills.

Fabulous family friendly country inn with warm welcoming atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and will do anything to assist. Food is absolutely first class and also a bonus it has a dog friendly area to bring our furry family members with us. Also disabled access is Brilliant as sometimes bring 2 of our family members along who are wheelchair bound. We visit a few times a year and are never disappointed.

Is it a pub/restaurant or dog kennels, because the reviews seem to centre on how good the place is for dogs.

Firstly I am not reviewing the food ( we will definitely try it next time we visit though).We took our 4 month puppy to the Sycamore on Saturday afternoon - we live 15 minutes walk away so we thought it would be a great experience for our pup as we are trying to get her used to all situations.As I have said we only live round the corner but havent been in for years as we had a few iffy experiences with previous Managements ( there have been a few over last 10 years) - the same cannot be said for the current owners/staff they went out of the way to make the 3 of us feel welcome.We sat on comfy sofas in the snug and immediately a lovely member of staff bought over a water bowl/ blanket and a dog biscuit ( If your a dog owner you know how special this is).The pub was fairly busy for a February afternoon - food looked very good (as i said, next time!).The gardens at the back are extensive so great for a quick toilet break ( for the humans there are inside toilets too!!!)Upstairs is the restaurant and bar area with the snug, down a flight of stairs ( or ground level from huge carpark) is a livelier bar that I think is the function area too.We stayed a couple of hours and had a lovely afternoon.Once again thank you so much for making our pups first outing welcoming and most importantly one she will want to do again,:)

Stayed here while on a walking trip. Just a totally wonderful experience.The food in the restaurant is fabulous and is equally matched by the outstanding service. We ate dinner, breakfast and lunch and all were excellent.Our room (No 1) was spacious, warm and welcoming with a huge comfy bed and very large bathroom. Quality towels and toiletries completed the comfort. Excellent tea/coffee making facilities with more than adequate supplies, which is brilliant.The staff have obviously been wonderfully trained, they are happy, attentive and interested. The restaurant runs like clockwork.Daz and Sam, the proprietors are very friendly, making the whole experience feel personal. We will definitely return. It is a complete credit to them. Thank you for a fantastic weekend.

Boxing day meal very small portions we both ordered cod in a orange and walnut crumb we asked for tartre sauce and they brought us horse radish by mistake which we unknowingly put over our cod when we realised it was horse radish we informed the staff and were told to scrape it off ....Rui ned the whole meal very disappointed in the staffs attitude to the ruined meal

Loved our family Christmas dinner at the Sycamore. Food quality was amazing and the service was good too. Would definitely book again for next year!

Came to the Sycamore for Christmas Dinner, as usual the service, quality of food and the venue were absolutely amazing. We made the mistake of going to a local rival last year, so were a little nervous about what to expect, well you blew us out of the water with a phenomenal experience . Thanks to you all for making our day

Great friendly service, very cosy open fire. Food was delicious. Would definitely go again. They also do the option for half portions for people with a small appetite.

Started coming here a bit more often recently as we now have a dog and they are very dog friendly. Called in tonight for a drink and ended up having some food off the nibbles&share; menu, food was excellent and plentiful and the staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful, soon as we walked in they bought over some water and a treat for our dog Luna! Can highly recommend the Sycamore .

After visiting a local church in Hayfield we took a party of 48 for lunch. The food and service by the staff was excellent. Considering there were so many of us with different choices everything came out together and was served piping hot.

Fabulous freshly cooked Sunday lunch for family of 8 today - just perfect. Enjoyed by all. Would recommend highly

Tea at the sycamore last night, another super gluten free meal. Sam and Darren can't do enough to accommodate, even making dairy free custard. The choice of gluten free is fantastic. Highly recommend as the food, owners and staff are excellent

We didn't say anything about it being our honeymoon but the staff couldn't have been more helpful if they had known. Room was lovely very clean & food was gorgeous.would definitely recommend it&will; go again.

Arrived to a warm welcome from all the staff ... even helped with the suitcases -bonus.

Stayed here 2 nights mid week for walks with dog. The room was very clean and well stocked with bathroom shampoos, tea coffee facilities and free WiFi. Ample parking space but a little walk up the bank to get to the hotel entrance. The staff were excellent really friendly and very well chosen some of which were on hospitality courses that were obviously working in their favour. The breakfast and evening menus was varied and really well cooked piping hot.

Staff professional and helpful, the food fabulous, and the rooms are extremely comfortable, the sycamore inn is a absolute gem and a worthwhile stay Richard and myself would like to thank all the staff for a fantastic stay

A lovely, lovely place in the heart of the Peak District. We booked a 3 night stay in a Family room and paid extra for our dog to stay too.

We were on a long trip back from Holyhead to london and rather than doing it in one go we decided to stop off here on the way back, and enjoy the peak district the next day, food was really nice and they went out of their way to keep the kitchen open for us in spite of us arriving late. Lovely staff and very nice atmosphere would definitely come back for a relaxing stay.

We regularly visit here as a family for food as it is well priced, reliably tasty and the portions satisfy my husband's larger appetite. The service is always friendly and the surroundings are nice with beautiful views from the terrace. My only suggestion - make good use of some of that fantastic land behind the car park with some good quality children's play equipment and make yourself a family destination!

Had a Brilliant night here I needed a get away as my husband had passed away a year ago couldn't have asked for a better place really friendly welcoming the room was really nice and comfortable lovely big bed we went up for dinner wide range of drinks and the food was excellent all cooked fresh nice and hot lots of choices to we can down for breakfast had full English as you do toast coffee cereal fruit alsorts to pick from would defo come back 5 stars all the way loved it thank you

We were in the area and chose this accommodation due to location and price- The room was clean with a comfortable bed. The outstanding food was a very pleasant surprise. We had evening meal and breakfast which were both exceptional. Staff were friendly and helpful. It’s in a good location and we walked down the old train line to Hayfield for a pint before walking back for our evening meal.
