Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic stay at The Mermaid Inn. The booking experience was excellent with speedy and helpful email replies. The house was extremely well equipped with everything we needed. Karaoke on the last evening was a lot of fun. The beds were very comfortable and it was very helpful to be able to configure the beds to suit the needs of our group. Brilliant family reunion. Thank you

New year getaway! We stayed at the Mermaid inn over New Year 2023, a party of 33, 7 families in total. You couldn't ask for better accommodation! The house catered for everyone, we even had our chilled moments doing puzzles & lazing on the comfy sofas. The pub I have to say was the highlight along with the pool table,darts & karaoke. Everything was thought of in the house & felt very homely & cozy. The dining table was perfect, sat everyone from bingo evenings to a full on 4 meat carvery on new years day! Was a bit like school dinners at times! The Mermaid was perfect in every way! We had this booked 22months in order to get the date & Pete liased & keep us informed through out the whole process. Would definitely return again x

Fabulous family Christmas at the Mermaid. Fabulous house for a large family gathering. Really loved the spacious lounge areas and the bar was really fun. Kitchen was well stocked and all of the bedrooms were a good size and comfortable. As for the dining room - it was the best ever with plenty of room and an amazing view! Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic large group venue - good for families The Mermaid is a fantastic venue for large groups, with all the amenities you could need and views to die for in an isolated spot. The bedrooms were all of an excellent quality, with extremely comfortable beds and well appointed bathrooms. The social spaces are a nice blend of homely and engaging, with a dining room large enough to accommodate everyone. Kitchen is well equipped and appointed - we self catered for 30+ for 3 meals a day with no challenges. Major supermarkets will deliver. The location is stunning and remote (no neighbours to annoy with karaoke) but also accessible and within striking distance of lovely Peak District towns (or Alton Towers if that’s more your thing). It’s self evident that this is a well run family business as all communications were friendly, personal and professional. Our deposit was repaid within hours of departure. All in all, I’d recommend this venue to any large group - we were a collection of 40/30 somethings with kids and had a great time.

We stayed at this house last weekend for a corporate weekend with our staff and can honestly say it was really amazing, it totally exceeded our expectations! Amazing views, lovely bedrooms, all with en suites. So much space - you could all be together or have time to enjoy in smaller groups around the house. Booking with the owners was also really helpful and stress free, nothing was too much trouble and the house was so well stocked when we arrived with all the little things like toilet roll and washing up liquid, which in other rental houses previously we have had to provide ourselves. We had awful weather....! But the benefit of all the games, pool table, darts board, karaoke etc made up for that and we had a real laugh. Also went to local Sports Centre and did Archery and Axe throwing which was a lot of fun. House views are amazing, its in the middle of nowhere, fantastic for what we needed, would love to return at some point! Thank you to the lovely owners and their team!

We have just returned from this amazing house . We went for my Dad’s 90th birthday as a surprise for him. 4 generations all under one roof and from age 2 years to 90 years. There was something to do for everyone from playing pool to playing darts to water fights outside with the smaller children. Pete the owner couldn’t to enough to help and make our stay so welcoming. The view is absolutely stunning. We had amazing weather and the sunset was spectacular. we had a chef to cook for us all on the Saturday evening. Definitely one for the memory bank. We all agreed we will definitely come back again as a family. There’s no one around for miles so you can party as much as you like . Nice to find somewhere with so many bedrooms with on suites . Amazing house .

Surpassed Expectation A truly excellent stay. The location is isolated which was perfect for us, as it provided genuinely breath taking views. The bedrooms are a good size and whilst you could argue they need a tiny bit of updating, they're comfortable and in keeping with the feel of the rest of the property. The kitchen was great providing everything we needed and had new ovens. The dining room worked perfectly for our group of 30 which is nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Finally the pub..... What an addition. It became the hub of the house and provided hours of entertainment. The whole booking process was smooth, simple and transparent. Can't recommend highly enough, we'll be back
