Indeed it is more like being at home than at a B & B! The full English breakfast is excellent.

Quite simply, my favourite place to stay in the world!

The couple who run this B&B are incredibly friendly and just lovely people to have a conversation with over one of their trademark HUGE full English breakfasts! They have a wealth of knowledge about places to go and things to do in the nearby Peak District National Park, and are also authorities on the local pubs! The rooms are not big but very cosy and homely, with small en suite bathrooms in every room. The beds are out of this world comfortable, and are so high and well-stocked with pillows that it is a struggle not to think that you may have been coronated some kind of monarch between coming through the door and sitting down on the bed! Rowsley is peaceful and very pretty - a stereotypical Peak District village, and my girlfriend and I always look forward to our stays here.

I made my reservation several months ago when invited to a Wedding nearby…read more Before reserving, I read the web site thoroughly and was pleased with what I read hence my booking. On arrival the alarm bells rang and that was just looking at this place from the outside. I was greeted by the very pleasant John and shown to my room. Although clean enough, the room was in a really bad state of repair and the decor was extremely tired to say the least. When I go away, I expect a decent standard of accomodation and this fell way short. I was really annoyed as I had travelled a long way to get here. The Kirk Lea Guest House website is extremely misleading and there are lots of issues within the room I was due to stay in. The window would not close, there was a burn on the polystyrene light fitting and the floor was very uneven. The furniture was very worn and damaged and nothing matched at all, not an attempt to look "shabby chic" I can promise. There have been some attempts to decorate by the current staff who are well aware of the appearance of the place and were very apologetic when I approached them with my impression of the place. They were helpful and could not have done more to assist me in finding a suitable alternative. This review in no way reflects on John and Val who are lovely people and I wish them well for the future!.

This is quite a cosy, decent looking pub but they just didn't really serve anything I would want to drink, Boddingtons keg being the most interesting, but ultimately unrewarding option.

From spunky pensioners to Soul devotees on their way to Manchester's legendary Twisted Wheel club, you'll meet lots of cool people here, all with their own story to tell. There's no real ale at Monroes and the prices are a little on the expensive side, but what else would you expect from a hotel bar? Anyway, when you visit this place, you don't really care about what you're drinking or even how much it costs it's all about the atmosphere!

I've stayed in diamond lodge numerous times, but after April 15th-16th I'll never go back!…read moreI arrived after a 4 hour drive and at first everything seemed ok, until it got late. My room was directly above the refrigeration plant for the kitchen, it started and stopped every 10-15 mins. To make matters worse, the window was broken and wouldn't close. I was told I couldn't be moved anywhere, then was moved at 2 am, by which time I was completely frustrated and so worked up by that time that I didn't sleep till 4 am. I was up again at half 7 and had a 4 hour drive in front of me. I complained to the front desk who insulted me by first trying to argue that the refrigeration plant didn't run at that time, then said since I was moved halfway through the night that everything must have been ok!!! I've never been treated in such a shocking way, after first trying to argue with me I got an artificially sympathetic apology! What a disgusting way to treat loyal patrons.

Literally on top of the hills, the restaurant overlooks Manchester and has panoramic views all around it. Right next to the building is Hartshead Pike, a famous landmark. On a warm summers day, this is the place to be in Manchester for some tranquility as well as some fantastic food and beverages. You don't have to drink, you can have a special coffee or soft drinks and you can eat your meal outside and enjoy your peaceful surroundings. My favourite is the Caesar Salad with a glass of Rose wine. It is lovely and fresh and fills me up a treat. Look at their menu on the link for the website for more offers and early bird menus. Try it.
