The pubs is warm and welcoming and the rooms were comfortable and clean.
The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, we didn’t have a lunch or evening meal there, but saw some of the food and it looked fantastic.
The host, Kevin, is really nice man with a great sense of humour and couldn’t do to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
I can’t recommend this place highly enough for a short stay in the high peaks.

Traditional pub in an excellent location for walking and an easy off road 15 minute walk into hayfield. The pub itself is friendly and cosy, with log fires and the most amazing food. Best beef we’ve had in a long long time. Staff also really attentive and couldn’t do more for you. Our room was spacious and clean with stunning views. 10/10 for the breakfast. They asked exactly what we wanted and it was cooked to perfection, with options of extras if you wanted two of anything. We’ll most definitely be returning to explore more of the area.

We stayed here as there are plenty of walks close by, and the hotel is the perfect place for this.
The building is a beautiful old building with loads of old-fashioned charm. We ate in the pub for our evening meal as well as breakfast, and both meals were amazing! Generous portions and delicious food. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely staff again.

I would just like to thank Mark & Gary and all the staff for such a warm and friendly welcome and making our stay exceptional.
We stayed in the superior double room with a stunning view over the garden and lantern pike in the background, there was ample tea and coffee making facilities, two comfortable chairs, the room had all you needed with added attention to detail. The bed was warm and comfortable with luxury cotton sheets. The en-suite bathroom had lots of space with a large bathtub and shower.
Our breakfast was superior with lots on offer and they were only too pleased to accommodate our dietary requirements. As with all the food served here, it is cooked and prepared with warmth and passion. The main menu had lots of fresh home cooked food on offer. I recommend the homemade cheese and onion pie and the feta salad and cod in beer batter was a delight. The pub itself presents a warm, cosy and friendly atmosphere, good ales and great bar staff and the open fire was a treat.
The location is perfect for exploring the peak district with all the main places in close proximity. If you are looking for
somewhere with a great Derbyshire warm friendly welcome with an amazing host and excellent staff and food, then this is the place for you.
We can't recommend it enough and can't wait to return later this year.
The only downside was that my partner became unwell and we had to slightly cut short our visit but a huge thanks to Mark, Gary and all the staff for their genuine concern and attentiveness. You will be pleased to hear that she is recovering well!

The staff in lantern pike was very friendly and easy to talk to. They explained the history of the pub and location to us. I thought the room was adequately sized and comfortable. Everything was in working condition.
The Wi-Fi signal wasn't the best in the location. Other than that everything was really good

We had a wonderful stay at the Lantern Pike Inn, which we chose for its ideal location near the start of the Kinder Scout route we were hiking the following day. It’s a lovely village pub with a great atmosphere and friendly locals. The dinner menu offered excellent choice and the food was outstanding.
We were upgraded to a larger room, which was warm, comfortable, and very welcoming. The owner Mike, couldn’t have been more hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was a freshly cooked full English using local ingredients, and as a thoughtful extra they even sent us off on our hike with fresh fruit and filled our coffee flask.
It was also incredible value for money for the two of us. If you’re hiking in the western Peak District, look no further than the Lantern Pike Inn, you won’t be disappointed.

Very warm clean room with comfortable beds and big heater which is important because we stayed there after a long hike in the snow. The location is good for main hikes as it’s 15-20 mins drive from start for Kinder Scout and Mam Tor, the breakfast was superb! Thank you!

Owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming, my partner wasn't well on our trip and they went above and beyond to make sure that she was comfortable, even making a hot toddy and bringing it to the room.
cosy room, good food, breakfast was great, nice location and friendly atmosphere
Booking.com says that you can check in from 13:00 but the owners have changed and despite them trying to get this updated, it hasn't. We turned up just after 1pm but couldn't check in, however the staff got our room ready as soon as they could.

We really liked the the pub, overnight stay and location. The staff we're very helpful and friendly, (wonderful) and accommodating for our needs, as my partner is vegetarian. The views we're amazing, and we loved the coal fires. The history of the pub was interesting. Our room was lovely too, very comfortable and cozy.
The only thing we would of liked to have seen is a more modern bathroom, but as the couple are improving it, it was clean and functional.

Exactly what you want and expect from an old country pub b&b. Staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, including putting on breakfast for us even though we came down late!

*Easy to find.
* Parking available.
* breakfast included
* evening meals served (Home made pies!)
* The landlord, Mark, was welcoming, helpful and offered us the choice of an upgrade.
* Our room had a comfortable four poster bed and a bathroom with loads of surface space to put out our stuff. (How many hotel bathrooms, especially new, minimalist and opulent ones, give you just the top of the loo cistern, behind the taps or the floor for your toiletry/ cosmetic bag?)

Mark is a gorgeous person oozing with personality. The staff were very friendly. Beautiful establishment with an open fire and great beers. The room was really nice, clean and comfortable.

Staff were amazing, accommodating and nothing was too much. The bed was super comfy, the amenities were good, the location was just what we needed and the view was beautiful
The toilet in the room was so close to the wall and shower door that there wasnt much room to manoeuvre. Also the noise was a little too much for my daughter as we had an early morning climb and the noise went on until late.! Although I was advised it was a one off reunion. Also was a Friday night so maybe thats just expected in an inn?

Mike and Gary were brilliant hosts and the pub was cosy and welcoming ,obviously well loved by local people . Food portions were generous for both breakfast and dinner . We were at a wedding in the area so only ate there one night ,but would have been more than happy to eat there again.
There was honestly nothing to dislike about our stay at the Lantern Pike Inn .

What an absolute gem of a find this place was, the location is ideal for visiting local villages such as Eyam, Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and Holmfirth to name a few.
Mark, the host, is absolutely brilliant and makes you feel like you're one of the family and nothing is too much trouble for him. His food is second to none, his breakfasts were superb, and the Steak & Kidney pie we had for our evening meal was tasty and delicious. The pub is spotless, with lovely furnishings and our ensuite room was immaculate and very comfortable. The staff are lovely, friendly and very helpful and you feel like Mark and his team, including Grandad 'Phil' genuinely want to make your stay the best ever. They definitely made our stay one of the best we've ever had, and we definitely want to visit again.
Finally, the Lantern Pike has strong links with Coronation Street, some links with Emmerdale and Mark also has a link with Kathy Staff (Nora Batty), but you will need to visit the pub to find out all the very interesting facts direct from Mark himself. The local village Hayfield is also where Arthur Lowe (Captain Mainwaring) was born, another interesting place to visit.
If you want to visit and stay in the Peak District, you must stay at the Lantern Pike, you won't be disappointed. We'll Done Mark and all your staff and thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

The landlord was a very pleasant man and his staff equally so. It was a community hub where everyone appreciated what the landlord was doing. Meals were reasonably priced and generous with the helpings. Lovely view of the countryside.
Parking was tight but the location on a steep hillside could not be altered!

Not only the breakfast but the bar food was excellent: an extensive menu, freshly cooked using locally sourced ingredients. The location is superb with plenty of great views and walks close by. A proper village pub with a super friendly landlord
Some refurbishments going on during our stay but these will only enhance the property when completed
