3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

I was wondering what the reviews of this place were after our visit. We didn't check Tripadvisor before we booked two nights there, but as it was a 4 star b&b with 'Breakfast Award', we didn't think much, especially that we didn't have the time for research. The reviews here are very good, but we didn't find the place that... More

Just spent 2 nights at Pioneer House, B&B and found it to be an excellent stay. We would highly recommend it to anyone. We found Dave and Janet to be very friendly, polite and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Full English breakfast - excellent.

We stayed here for 3 nights over Easter and had a great stay. Janet and Dave were most welcoming and cannot do enough for you. The room was quirky and comfortable with a great bath which was well used after long days walking. It is in a perfect location close to everything (driving preferably) loved the walks, scenery and pubs... More

We stay at Pioneer House in December as part of our UK holiday and were very impressed by the hospitality and welcome. We also like closeness to rail and buses and sometime owners give us lift in they car which was very nice. Thank you to both and will certainly come back to Derbyshire.

The place was fine, we picked it just because it's close to the train station. it was clean, and I like their decoration. we were there for our 1 year anniversary, the couple were not helpful at all, they told us there were no buses running (after the first day we discovered there were), they seem to have no idea...

Really comfortable and immaculately clean B&B, spitting distance from Bamford train station. My friend and I had a twin room - separate shower room but only used by us, so no complaints. Fabulous breakfast cooked by Dave each morning which set us up for our two day's walking holiday. Lots of decent pubs around for evening meals, though a bit... More

The B&B was well located just outside of Bamford and was far enough away from Castleton to avoid the thriving (and at times somewhat tiresome) tourist population/traffic. It proved an excellent base for visiting the local area with pretty much all the popular local attractions within a 15 minute drive - Castleton, Hathersage, Stanage Edge, Eyam and Ladybower Resevoir were...

This is a great B&B - comfortable, cosy, impeccably clean with a great breakfast: quality ingredients and cooked well. We had room 1 for the bath - it's a deep roll-top and was very welcome after a day's walking. There was always plenty of hot water and clean towels. The bed linen was really soft and cosy and the double... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Pioneer House is set in the stunning Hope Valley between Hathersage, Hope and Castleton, and is an ideal base for exploring this beautiful and interesting area, whether walking, climbing or just sightseeing. Our lovingly restored home is relaxed and friendly with three comfortable bedrooms that have up-to-date en-suite or private facilities. We are very well served by public transport with trains on The Hope Valley Line from Bamford Station a few minutes away, giving easy access to Edale for the start of the Pennine Way and the stunning plateau of Kinder Scout, or to Hathersage for Higger Tor and Carl Wark, and Grindleford for Froggatt Edge. Sheffield city centre is conveniently only 20 minutes away. The dams and reservoirs of the Derwent Valley are just a couple of miles away and are easily reached by the local bus service. For the more adventurous this service also gives access to the northern moorlands of Bleaklow, Howden and Derwent Edge. Alternatively there are many other excellent walks straight from our door ranging from easy to strenuous, so just leave your car on our drive and enjoy a carefree day out on the hills and moors of one of Britain’s most spectacular areas. ... more   less
