We stayed at the plough on Saturday night after finding out the place we stayed on Friday had double booked our room for the Saturday. Rather than return home we looked for places with last minute availability. The plough had one room left and allowed dogs (£15 a night) and we had visited before for a drink whilst passing on a hike so booked to stay. We stayed in room 1 which was quite small but well presented, the bed was comfy and the shower powerful and hot. The room was quiet and peaceful other than the occasional other guests passing as it’s the first room near the entrance. We had a walk in to Hathersage in the afternoon for a couple of drinks which took about 15 minutes across the fields just after the bridge and then walked back for dinner at the plough. Dinner was very nice, lots of choice on the menu, fresh roses and candles on the table, very professional and friendly service and an extensive wine list. Breakfast in the morning was also good with again friendly and helpful service. Our only comment on the breakfast is that the sausages weren’t anything special. We’d had big juicy locally sourced sausages at the place we stayed the night before so these ones seemed a bit basic in comparison - upgrade those and breakfast would be perfect! The owners have thought of everything and it shows in the little details from the toiletries / cotton pads / ear buds etc in the bathroom to the blankets for the garden and tray for dirty shoes in the hallway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay albeit short and sweet and will definitely return, we might try the shepherds huts next time.
