Recently had a two night stay to attend a wedding in the local area. What a wonderful stay! A stunning location. The room and bathroom was immaculate. The bed that comfy I struggled to get out of it! Julie was such a lovely friendly host, she even offered to drive us to the wedding and pick up. The breakfast was yummy! Would definitely recommend.
With help from the lovely host Julie - I planned a surprise stay for my (now) fiancée and her friends + family. As well as the fantastic and large rooms (the pool table was a lot of fun !!) we also rented the well equipped and decent sized kitchen for the afternoon/eve and additional parking. We had an awesome time here celebrating our engagement. The host Julie is incredibly kind and helpful, we asked how to use the cooker and Julie went out of her way to cook and cut up the many foods we brought along (thank you!). Breakfast was yum and the water bottles and brunch bars were a treat too! Better service than any hotel I've ever stopped at. I couldn't recommend the Higherlands Hotel + Julie enough. Many thanks to Julie!
We stayed with Julie at Higherlands for a night after Sunday lunch on the Churnet Valley Steam Railway. It's just a couple of minutes drive from the station. We had a lovely welcome, nothing is too much trouble. We watched England v Slovakia in the lounge, then went on a great walk in the local countryside, that Julie recommended, and then retired to our room. Plenty of space, very comfy bed, great shower, all good. Breakfast the next morning was the perfect start to the day. Thanks Julie
What an amazing stay, Julie's hospitality from when we arrived until our departure. The room was spotless, the bed super comfortable even the sheets had a fantastic fresh smell. The breakfast is fit for a king, I couldn't finish it all but was really tasty. The shower was powerful with plenty hot water. If your in the area its the place to stay.
What a lovely B&B. We recently stayed for 2 nights, enjoyed excellent breakfasts, comfort, cleanliness, quiet, (apart from the early morning rooster!), and a most accommodating host, Julie. We had a pool table in our room! (ask Julie, she'll explain). There's very little that Julie doesn't know about the surrounding area, so ask her!
What an amazing place. Julie our hostess was friendly, helpful and played taxi to our wedding venue. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed really comfy. The breakfast was huge and extremely tasty. Highly recommend the hospitality and warmth that was offered to us, from the first moment we made contact with Julie. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
