A brilliant venue for our family gathering! The Mermaid was an ideal location for our large family gathering (27) for a week together after a wedding. There was plenty of space for everyone (aged 2 to 77). The rooms with their own ensuite bathrooms were great. Naturally room sizes vary a bit. The living space is excellent with activities in the bar area or chilling in the extensive lounge areas. The kitchen worked well and is near to the enormous dining room with "that view"! The whole place was very clean and orderly when we arrived. Beds were very conformable. And the owner could not have been more helpful - thanks Pete! Hope we get to go back some time!

Fantastic for family gatherings. This was our third visit and the Mermaid Inn never disappoints. The property is continually well maintained, the bar area is a great meeting place, the lounges are a superb and comfortable break out area and the dining area, with its views, is just so special. A very well appointed kitchen is also in place and the downstairs bedrooms are great for the less mobile. All of our family commented on how clean and well stocked the venue was and we are currently trying to arrange Mermaid 4. In addition to this comms with Pete, Marie Axelle and Mark is great. Well worth a visit!

Stunning views and fantastic pub games! Absolutely fantastic facilities. The pub with darts and pool is definitely a winner and I love that it is also dog friendly. We had the absolutely best weekend making so many memories. Highly recommend and stunning views over the Peaks.

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!
