The best restaurants serving British food in Hathersage and Eyam Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Popped in again for refreshments briefly whilst out cycling. Every time I go in I’m met with a smile from the friendly staff and owners. Love this place and its position in the village is great for people watching. Today I had an oat flat white and a piece of amazing tortilla. Thanks again.

Had a lovely breakfast this morning, a small sized one which was more than enough and a ‘hot’ hot chocolate! Service was quick, efficient and the staff were lovely as they always are. Plenty of extra seating upstairs and in the summer there’s a lovely garden area.

FELT ROBBED called in at dinner me and wife having looked at the menu we both decided too have soup and a sandwich £8,95 with ham or cheese didn't fancy ither but they did have turkey so we had soup and sandwich with turkey on instead of ham or cheese but instead of being charged £8.95 x 2 = £17.90 i was charged £14.40 x 2 =£28.80 for having turkey on a breadcake instead of ham or cheese i did think being charged £10.90 MORE FOR having turkey on 2 sandwich even Dick Turpin wore a mask

Had a lovely four mile walk spurred on by the thought of a great breakfast at the end. Went in to the cafe , chose our snacks went to order only to see a sign ‘cash only’. As we only had cards we had to leave. I wouldn’t have minded if it was pay by card for an extra fee but there was no option.

Very over priced soup-£11.95- with the thinnest piece of sourdough bread I’ve ever been served. Luke warm. I’ll not be eating here again

Lovely cafe. Lovely place to watch the birds. Lovely food. Simply lovely. Would recommend to everyone.

We were a pet free traveling couple who were very impressed with the cleanliness of the room and ensuite it was spotless given that they do allow pets to stay. Every request from parking early to gluten free breakfast (I’m coeliac) was accommodated faultless stay no negatives to report would stay again

This was so good we ate here New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Sylvia served us both times, the food and service is exceptional; great traditional English food and hearty portions. I had the venison which was good perfectly. A roaring fire makes this the perfect place after a dog walk through the peaks.

After finishing our walk earlier than expected we hunted round for somewhere that could take ten of us. A quick call confirmed they could push some tables together. Food was very good, service friendly and nothing not to like. It's a few miles outside Hathersage which gives it more of a country inn vibe than a town centre pub. Would go back.

Well, where should I begin? Upon arriving at the car park, I was greeted with stunning views, which made a great first impression. However, upon entering the hotel, I noticed that the restaurant was extremely busy, and it appeared that there were limited staff members available. Our initial interaction with the staff was not particularly welcoming, as we were told to wait outside for 20 minutes before being checked in due to the high volume of guests. Personally, I believe that this is not an ideal way to greet guests upon their arrival at a hotel. Despite waiting patiently for the specified time, unfortunately, no one came to assist us. As a result, I waited an additional 15 minutes at the reception before finally being able to check in. After a lengthy wait of 35 minutes for the check-in process, we were shown to our room. It appeared that the room was in urgent need of renovation and investment. The decor was extremely outdated and basic. One point to note is that the main road nearby, which seems to be mistaken for a racetrack by many drivers, experiences constant traffic even in the early hours of the morning. The noise level is comparable to sleeping next to a racetrack or a motorway. Evening meal. We had a reservation for a table at 6 pm, but the staff informed us that 7:30 pm would be more suitable for them. We understood that they might have had a lot of reservations for the evening. However, when we went downstairs at 6 pm, the restaurant was empty, and it remained so even at 7 pm. For breakfast, the options are limited to English breakfast, vegetarian options, or cereals. Similarly, the hot drink choices are limited to tea or coffee. The quality of the breakfast was satisfactory, but it could be improved. Additionally, there was only one staff member handling all aspects of the breakfast service, including taking orders, cooking, working the bar, bringing out food, and managing the reception for booking out. While this individual did an admirable job, it is evident that they require assistance, as the workload is excessive for a single person, let alone two. Conclusion. If you are seeking a one-night stay at a basic accommodation, the Millstone Inn may suffice. However, I must admit that it is a marginal choice, and I would not recommend an extended stay. The hotel rooms are in urgent need of not only a thorough deep cleaning but also significant investment to bring them up to an acceptable standard. While the staff is friendly and hardworking, they would benefit from additional training to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness, especially during periods of staffing shortages. Regrettably, I cannot recommend the Millstone Inn for future stays. Despite its charming location, the overall condition of the hotel requires significant improvement.
