OYO Ye Olde Bowling Green Inn - Adults Only

Cracking stay at this establishment, the cooked breakfast was lovely, the bed was comfortable & the staff were great the best part are the views across the valley, absolutely stunning setting & all round enjoyable stay!! The pub/accomodation has had new ownership since September 2023 & they appear to be doing a spot on job. I was very pleased with our stay & Bradwell is a pleasant little village.

A friendly pub with warm, comfortable rooms, plenty of hot water, a hairdryer and decent WiFi plus plenty of parking. The owners go out of their way to help you enjoy your stay. Not loads going on in Bradwell but some nice pubs and just a 40min walk on a footpath to Castleton via the cement works (mostly quite pleasant, honest!) if you want to avoid parking problems there (also a bus but we didn’t try this). Wish we had noticed the brewery (Intrepid) on the road north from Bradwell. Food is quite reasonable with a couple of gluten free options and just 1 vegan option. Our friends found their lasagne was a bit tepid (nothing a microwave wouldn’t sort out but they didn’t want to ask). Breakfast was excellent, cooked to order and Samantha was able to cater for our various dietary requirements (I liked the pancakey oatcakes and there is also gluten free toast, etc). Good coffee and also some cereal/fruit juice available (oat milk on request). Lovely outside area for when it does eventually warm up and dry out! I forgot to mention we didn’t need our room cleaning (who needs towels and sheets changed every day?) so suggested making this optional at check in would reduce cost and resources used. Overall an excellent place to stay as well as visit for a meal and refreshment!

The owners of this pub are so incredibly friendly, we could not have had a nicer welcome and our dogs too! 🫶 The view from the pub garden is absolutely stunning, just wow! We each had a meal and were all blown away by the food, it was so good, piping hot, real good quality, freshly cooked and really tasty. You made 3 Welsh ladies very happy 😊👍💕

Amazing friendly local pub . The owners and bar staff could not do enough for us . We had a great time . Food was excellent . Rooms were very clean and warm . We will return .

Lovely village pub! We visited twice during our stay in Bradwell. Staff made us extremely welcome with toys for the children and biscuits for the dog! Traditional home cooked pub food which was delicious. Clean plates all round. Friendly welcoming atmosphere! We will be back to stay to explore of the Peak District. Great local find!

What an absolute little Gem, Recent owners Richard and Samantha and barman Rob were a delight, proper genuinely friendly people, The pub is a delight, if I lived within walking distance it would definitely be my local and I lay claim to the "high stool" at the end of the bar henceforth :-) Our Sunday Lunch was as good as any we have ever had, the accommodation was above and beyond, I really do hope this happy band have a very bright and successful future at Ye Olde Bowling Green, they so certainly deserve it.

We stayed in the carpark in our campervan after ringing to ask if this was ok. We arrived and went into the pub for a meal and a couple of drinks. What a lovely welcoming pub. The meals were beautiful and nicely presented and good value for money. The landlady couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. They do have rooms available so would definitely recommend a stay here. Lovely village and nice walks.

Poor experience overall. Food was basic and hardly worth the money, asked for added onions and didn’t come with my burger. Staff were poor, took forever to come over and even ask us what we wanted and waited too long in between meals as well. Would not rate this place for food! Standards poor.

I contacted Samantha to ask about the possibility of hosting us for the night, a Family of 8, two motorhomes and a double room. From first contact Samantha and her team couldn't have been more helpful. She kindly booked us all in and saved us a few quid by not having to go through booking sites. In all honesty I wasn't expecting a lot when I saw the food menu, it was simple pub grub and very reasonably priced, the quality and portions we received were excellent. They even managed to squeeze us all in for breakfast the next morning, which again was way above expectations, fantastic quality and with lovely views. Nothing was too much trouble and I couldn't thank them enough. The beers were pretty good too :)
