A warm friendly welcome, great food and atmosphere. The staff at The Sportsman are second to none; friendly, attentive, efficient. We were saved from a disastrous weekend when our previous long-standing booking at another establishment was cancelled and we were squeezed in at very short notice and looked after like royalty. The room was comfortable and spacious with usual facilities... More

We bought a Groupon deal for this pub in Hayfield. The deal included 2 nights B&B plus 2 course dinner on first night.

Went for tea on a Wednesday night. Very warm welcome by helpful barman, and seated at a table near the window. Ordered the meal at the bar as they were slow to come to the table but the barman apologised and said they were short staffed. Food very slow to come out but when it did arrive it was lovely,...

Although it's on the road there is... More

The landlord has always been welcoming, and the staff fantastic. There is... More

Very dated with dirty heavy on the eye carpets. The room we stayed in was small, too small for a wardrobe or chest of drawers, in the en-suite was the worlds smallest sink and a compact shower with mo more than a dribble of water, you could not fill your kettle from the sink as it would not fit!. However... More

Great location for walking in peaks , however the room was basic, v uncomfortable bed and tiny bathroom, food was not the best although the beer was a plus, the bar area needs a major revamp to make it more appealing . Would not revisit.
