Steven and Julie were outstanding hosts and were ready with helpful advice about anything from planning visits to country houses to recommended places at which to eat in the evenings. After a long drive, tea and home-made cake was very welcome. Very comfortable accommodation and amazing breakfasts set us up for our daily visits around this spectacular area.

We spent two nights at this B&B in mid-April (sorry for the delay in posting this review!).This stunning old house has been beautifully and sympathetically restored yet with all the 'mod cons' of a top boutique hotel. As a group we had 2 double rooms and both were comfortable, spotlessly clean and stylish. Our room had twin beds that had... More

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at this fantastic B&B. Julie and Steve were very welcoming and helpful with great ideas for activities and days out in the area. The breakfast was as good as any restaurant I've been to, and I recommend the eggs benedict with smoked salmon (other options available too). The building has been renovated to a high standard...

Thank you for taking the time to review the Old Shoulder of Mutton. We’re so glad that you enjoyed your stay in the Peak District National Park. Wow, that is some compliment for breakfast coming from a reviewer of The Foyer at Claridge’s, The Fat Duck and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. Have a great time back in Australia, but we... More

We chose this B&B to spend a weekend break following our wedding and could not have been more pleased with our stay. Your restoration of your house has been completed to such a high standard. We were blown away by your attention to detail not only with the room, bathroom, and provision of a guest lounge, but at breakfast and... More

Thank you for your review, and for choosing the Old Shoulder of Mutton for your honeymoon. The walk you did is superb taking in the bluebell woods, local lead mining history, ancient moorland, the Nine Ladies Circle, castle ruins, Robin Hood's Stride and a great pub or 2 - all in 8 miles. We hope you get back for many... More

Just spent two nights over Easter at this fantastically restored house with great hosts Steve and Julie. Its in a very quiet location just off the main Street of Winster village. All the previous reviews have covered everything and our expectations were not only met, but surpassed. B&B owners come and see how these guys do it, they are the... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review - and such a favourable one too. I remember your comments about the high standard of joinery in the house - this has been relayed to the joiner who did the work - it made his day. We hope to see you again. We love this job! More

It was great to meet you both - and so pleasing to hear that it all went well for you. Thank you too for introducing me to your car - I'll be having one of those - looks like fun. We're also pleased that you walked Lakil Dale and Stanton Moor - both favourites of ours. We hope to see... More

Julie and Steve warmly welcomed us to their recently renovated Grade2 listed building - and what a job they have done ! The old pub is full of interesting features and details; our room was exceptionally well-presented, clean and very comfortable; the residents lounge provided an ideal spot to relax and talk. Breakfast was delicious, especially the "froached egg".... We'll... More
