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.

There are six individually styled rooms and my favourites were the Aubergine room and the Double Cream room which had a gorgeous roll top bath! I recommended it to my brother-in-law and he whisked his wife off for a romantic weekend which they really enjoyed and my husband's parents have also stayed there. Prices per double room are from £140 to £170 in the high season and around £120 to £150 in the low season including breakfast. Check out the website for further details and any special offers.

The hotel and rooms are really nice. The staff at the front desk let us check into the rooms earlier than stated which we really appreciated. The facilities are nice and had everything that I would personally want: pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, lots of room for lounging. Also plenty of showers dotted around. For a treatment I chose a 30 minute back neck & shoulder massage because really why would I choose anything else? The masseuse was friendly and professional and the massage was really good. She asked if I had any problem areas and I mentioned that my shoulder had been causing me pain, honestly I can't say she paid any particular attention to that shoulder and it still hurt, though in her defence it wasn't a sports/physiotherapy massage so I can't complain. The evening meal was really very good. Instead of a price limit which some hotels impose, we had a choice of any starter and any main from the menu - with the exception of possibly one of the steaks? I can't really remember but it wasn't unreasonable. I went for the ribs, which aren't something I would usually order but had been advertised as the restaurant's speciality so I felt I had to. They were really good. For my main course I had lamb which was cooked to perfection, really delicious. Breakfast was pretty good. Partly buffet style although the tea and coffee was made fresh and the eggs were cooked for you. I'd definitely recommend this place for a spa break.

The house is a double cottage which houses the guestmaster couple on one side, and the guests are on the other. This means guests have their own lounge and dining room. The gardens are also beautifully kept, including a pond. It's within 10 minutes' drive of Lincoln (5 minutes to the Showground), and for those who like walking there are footpaths all around. We loved our stay and felt very welcome at Honeyholes. One more thing I will say the decor is very vintage, dark wallpaper in some rooms, flowers everywhere (even on the loo roll!); it oozes character, but you have to like that sort of thing.

Generally I found it good value for money, not cheap, but with a nice comfy four poster bed (which Ninja found very comfy - see photo), tea and coffee on hand, and its own parking it was not bad. Unfortunately it lost half a star for not having the heating on before we arrived (it was brass monkey weather) and another half for not getting into the corners and behind the fittings with the hoover (something I've noticed happening more and more in Britain) people do look you know! It was great fun to watch the chickens and the big fat turkey strut his stuff in the garden (he survived Xmas I hope he had the same luck with New Year). The breakfast was very generous. Thick cut bacon with delicious butcher style sausages and not a baked bean in sight. The only downside was the ever changing bread, from a bakery style loaf (yummy) to a Warburtons sliced (yucky), it was never the same from day to day.

They greeted us warmly on arrival and were very chatty over breakfast. They clearly love what they do! Really nice rooms - delightfully comfy beds and tea/coffee facilities in the rooms. Ours didn't have its own bathroom, but we knew that on booking and didn't mind. It was a lovely bathroom down the hallway! One of the highlights of the place is the little farm outside. There's a dove hut, bee hives, a turkey and chickens. You can buy a pot of honey to take home! Amazing award-winning breakfast to top off the stay. Homemade bread, really tasty sausages and bacon, and lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt. We didn't want to leave! There's a few pubs within walking distant although we came back a bit tipsy at 11pm and got told off for giggling, so be respectful

Guy and Jan are fabulous hosts and really understand how to renovate, decorate, equip, run, and manage a B and B. Such wonderful attention has been paid to the design of the rooms. Spectacular hand-made beds, terrific lighting and fixtures. Well designed and comfortable bathrooms. The property is clean and the breakfasts are amazing. Jan and Guy come from a long background in the hospitality business, and it shows. They and their staff work extraordinarily hard to keep the place spotless and running smoothly. The Inn is perfectly located so that you can see all of the great spots in town and the area and consume massive quantities of good food and beer "downtown" and then have a nice stroll to walk it off afterwards. The scrumptious breakfasts, wonderfully caring owners/staff, and beautiful accommodations make Lamb Inn Guesthouse a B&B that we will return to whenever we can. If they put a pub in the lower level in the future, I might not even leave the property! Four enthusiastic thumbs-up from us. BTW, ask Guy about what the inverted peace sign means. Best wishes to you both!

Having never visited before, I had no idea what to expect - but I was blown away by the beauty that makes up the Woodbrooke centre. We had two rooms with massive glass windows overlooking rolling hills outside - loads of natural light flooded into the rooms, and set the scene for a very relaxing and creative weekend. We were allowed to wander the grounds for inspiration (as is the Quaker way, I'm told - full of reflection) though we were too busy to see very much of it. We also had food catered for us by the centre, and it was delicious home cooked hearty (and largely vegetarian!) fare. I would DEFINITELY recommend this as a venue to anyone wanting to run any kind of retreat / course / function. It was brilliant. Really relaxing, and beautiful.

The food is super, (plus of course you can book Lunch and Dinner too if you want), they grow some of their own vegetables in the on-site walled garden. They are able to cook for any diet pretty much and can do packed lunches if you ask in time. The staff are lovely too. The bed part of the facilities is fairly basic, but they are good and rooms are warm and inviting. Have always liked it here. They have tea and coffee on tap downstairs in the dinning room and their new garden room is lovely to go and sit in during the winter with its log burner and during the summer you can sit outside. Will be back.
