The Woodroffe Arms in High Peak

A great location if you're hiking from hope and a traditional British pub. However that's as good as it gets from me for this place. We booked to stay here on Air B&B for a night over the Easter weekend (2022) for the latter point. The booking confirmation came through and the payment was taken two nights before. We went to check in around 17:00 and they had sold our room to someone else! They had no rooms left and so we had to quickly book elsewhere. Luckily we managed to book somewhere in Buxton (20 min drive).That's beyond unacceptable management and poor at best! Thankfully we were able to find somewhere over the busy Easter weekend. But it was sheer luck there was a room available elsewhere, there weren't any other places available close by. We live only an hour away, so whilst it would've been disappointing had we not found somewhere else to stay, it would've been okay. But imagine if you life 2-3 hours and booked to stay here! The local and surrounding area is popular for hikers and books up fast! That's a long drive home!The pub looked old, tired, small and full of down and out local loud laddish lads. The reviews weren't great to begin with, and the hotel we managed to get in Buxton was great! So perhaps this was a blessing in disguise.There's lots more classy pubs and far nicer places to stay in Hope or Castleton. I honestly wouldn't give this place your time, energy or money, let alone trust in your booking confirmation!This place is one to avoid!

Locals type pub, good friendly service. Welcoming of dogs. Enjoyable evening watching live football. Would happily go back

Having drinks and chats with rambler. Will re-visit again.

A "locals" rather than tourist pub...no food...apart from bar snacks.Reasonably priced booze.Colourful locals....very friendly actually ...however it can get interesting. Eavesdropping can become hilarious as the locals get louder as more beer is consumed.Nice Woodburner.....Good old fashioned boozer....I love it

owners and staff are very friendly,its a great atmosphere and dogs are more than welcome in there.

Nice pint but lured in by sign promising home cooked food, unfortunately don't provide any

Excellent hospitality and even allowed us to eat takeaway in the pub. Greatly appreciated would defo come back again

So there isn't many pub choices in hope Village. But if your looking for a well priced quick drink then here you go. When we went it was pretty quiet but welcoming. Wine choices are your entry levels with no new Zealand so we had Vodka instead

A good down to earth village pub which seems to exist for locals rather than tourists. Beer at normal prices, a friendly tenant, tiled floor, dogs welcome, immaculate toilets, beer garden to the rear, open fire. This pub normally opens at 3pm in the week and does food in the evening.However by special request, (and probably not wanting to make a habit of it), the landlord opened up early for my four man hiking party and provided us with victuals, beer and tea. That's how obliging they are.

Great real ale. Really good atmosphere. Gary the governor great bloke made to feel welcome. Would recommend to anybody who likes the local pub atmosphere.
