A proper pub serving great local ales and really good food. We loved it here. It was so quiet and peaceful with just the sounds of the river (and owls at night). Really good walking from opposite the pub down to Watersmeet and surroundings. We stayed mid-week and it was really quiet, just another 2 couples that were staying were... More

This is ideal place to stay if you love walking, good food and a restful atmosphere. The room I shared with two friends had fresh modern bedlinen and towels and was comfortable, clean and warm. We dined in on both nights of our stay and had some excellent food and wine - the posh fish and chips are particularly recommended.... More

We based ourselves here for two nights to walk around the area. Lovely quiet location & ideally placed for walking. Some aspects of decor a bit dated but it's being gradually up dated. In our party of 5, 2 had a lovely, freshly up-dated room at the back of the building which was slightly larger than the one 3 of... More

If you are looking for a truly authentic English pub with with a wonderful local atmosphere, great food, real ales and good service, head on out to the Rockford Inn. This was our 2nd visit for dinner. We went here for my birthday dinner because they had homemade pizza on the menu. It was a wonderful night with friendly locals... More

We stayed here over Easter and it was a really relaxing stay. The location is very quiet and remote. The highlights are the river and fishing. Don't stay here thinking that you will be in a village. This is a hamlet and we based our stay around the Inn. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed with cable TV with... More

I have just spent three nights in the single room at this Inn. I was warned that it was small, and they were not joking ! However, I loved it ! I am used to fitting in wherever I hang my hat and, once I'd sorted myself out was nicely settled in. The meals were excellent, and I had a... More

Just returned from a 3 night stay, the 320 mile journey was well worth it. The welcome from Sarah and Cathryn was warm and friendly as were the log fires. We stayed in Room, a double En Suite which is very comfortable. It is easy to say that everything was perfect but our stay was. The comfort, hosts, beers and... More

Friendly attentive owners. Excellent food, ate there each night of the three. Wonderful location with superb walks that are immediately accessible. Great value. I was very impressed, and started to plan my return before I departed. John_D

My boyfriend and I have just spent 3 nights at the Rockford; I did not want to leave! Sarah and Cathryn made us feel so at home. The pub is lovely, we ate there every night and the food was fantastic (and so was the wine). We stayed in a charming room (7) which has a side view of the... More

We stayed there for 3 nights last week. After a 250 mile drive I could help but smile when I saw the Rockford Inn, inside was every bit as inviting. We stayed in room 1 which was very nicely decorated. The only criticism was that the bed was a bit on the hard side. Cathryn was kind enough to leave... More
