Scotsman's Pack Hotel

Excellent service, welcome and food. Only downside was an errant fire alarm and the exit sign in the room was exceptionally bright! The outdoor drinking/dining space is very good for Hathersage.

Firstly, lovely pub, great atmosphere, good range of food and drinks. Bar staff for afternoon and evening were lovely, we had a great time. I booked a twin room with ensuite (#3) as no more singles available. Again room was very nice, clean and nice touch of biscuits. Ensuite was clean and a good size. But the shower didn't work, just a trickle of water. Only found out in the morning and didn't want to run a bath. On checkout i told the staff who said i should have pulled the cord! What cord!! It wasnt an electric shower so i hadn't looked for a cord (why would you). Anyway, i emailed the pub when home, explaining the issue. No reply. 2 days later i resent the email to get a 'sorry, i checked it, it does work but not much water comes out, all the others work and ive called a plumber'! Not great customer service and no offer of a little compensation (ive paid for a sower after all). So, unfortunately i will never go back nor recommend it to anyone, which is a shame.

The hotel/pub is a situated a couple of minutes walk from the village centre na while there isn't that much in the village of Hathersage it's location is great for accessing walks, cycling and climbing locations. I was up there meeting friends on a Saturday night. The bar restaurant area was busy all evening and night and so there was a amount of noise, but it is a pub so that was to be expected and as the pub empties then the noise leaves too. No complaints about the room. I had a single ensuite room. It was simple with room to move around in. Bathroom had a shower (no bath). You are meant to book breakfast in advance, there is a sheet in the room to tick what you want. That said I didn't do the sheet and there was no issue. Breakfast was plentiful and had options to meet most dietary requirements. I would say that the hotel is not very wheelchair friendly, both for dining or staying. The rooms all appeared to be upstairs. Would I stay again? Yes.

We stayed at the Scotsman Pack for just one night. Room was lovely .. very clean and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Very cosy pub with excellent walking close by. Noisy in bedroom until music in pub stopped at 11:30pm but lovely place to stop. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good too.

Good value for money. Comfortable and welcoming older pub. Bedroom quiet, warm, cosy. Staff friendly. Pub was very crowded, nice atmosphere. Short walk from village centre. We'd go back.

This is a gem of a place, nestled in the Hope Valley. Picture perfect surroundings, excellent food, lovely comfy rooms and friendly staff to boot! And it snowed, making it Christmassy! We will definitely return.

First off, the pub is lovely, the food is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Our ‘room’ was number 4. It used to be a fire exit before it was converted. There is a lit fire exit sign in the room which is always on. This disturbed my sleep a lot. It’s like a green night light. They turned it off on the 2nd night. There is a fire exit sign because there is a fire exit to the outside in the room, with a curtain across it. This makes the room cold despite the heating being on constantly. I was also woken by the plumbing on both nights, which was loud enough to record on my phone. The towel rail in the bathroom has the temperature of several suns and conveniently located at the same height as the light pull, so you can burn your hand on it when turning the light on. We ended up wrapping it in towels. The shower is unusable as it is scalding hot and very poor flow. It apparently has 2 settings - off and scalding. No adjustments make any difference. Our friends also stayed in the hotel and the other rooms don’t have the same issues, although they did hear the plumbing.

All I can say is it was ok. the sound of running water kept me awake, but thats partley down to the weather
