The following comments are taken from the guestbook we keep. Verbatim.
Thanks very much for a great weekend for my husband's 50th birthday at the Crewe last weekend. All our guests really enjoyed it. All of the rooms were of a very high standard and everything surpassed our expectations. The bar area was fantastic and we spent most of our time in there. The location was great and although the weather wasn't great there was plenty of places to go. We also had a fantastic Sunday lunch at the Royal Oak which everyone was really impressed with.

Hi
Thank you for providing such a great location and venue for my recent weekend house party. All my guests loved the venue and found it interesting and most of all, very comfortable. I had some friends and family in the cottages which suited very well and were well appointed. The Crewe and Harpur itself - all rooms really great and the en suites were fantastic. So we really really loved the place and the village location is stunning with a number of valleys converging to provide great scenery too. I know that at least one of my guests will be recommending you to her family members - she took the details!!
Many thanks. A fantastic venue we were lucky to find!

Just wanted to say The Crewe + Harper and all the cottages were amazing. My friends, family and I had a fantastic long weekend celebrating my birthday.

I had my hen weekend at the Crewe and Harpur and it was immense! The venue is gorgeous and a brilliant idea for a big group - the run of your own pub for the weekend! We had the pub and one of the cottages - we loved every minute. We took on the theme of being in the pub with a pub quiz on the Friday, and took in some fab views on the Saturday with a walk to the Pack Horse Inn. It was great to be able to have a party back at the C&H on saturday night too. My friend who had planned the weekend had done a big Asda shop to see us through which I'd also recommend doing. It was an amazing weekend and I'd recommend it to anybody. We had a fab weekend thank you - it's such a great idea. Everybody I've told can't get over what a brilliant set up it is! Many thanks.

I would like to say that we had an absolutely fantastic time and it definitely exceeded our expectations. All our friends who joined us couldn't believe I had found such a great place and I am betting that some of them will book in the future. I know we definitely will. Thanks so much for helping to make my husband's 40th birthday a weekend to remember

On behalf of our whole party, I would like to say a very big "thank you" for the loan of the Crewe & Harpur. We had a ball! In hindsight, I don't think we would have changed anything and I only wish someday we will be able to do it again. We hope to be able to return to your part of the country again one day and you will be our first port of call for accommodation.

Our entire group had a sensational time at the Crewe and Harpur; I've been to a number of similar events (40th birthdays mainly..) but nothing has got the kind of feedback I've been receiving this week. Everybody absolutely loved it and we are definitely going to book it again for next year.
Thanks once again for a great venue - it was truly memorable.

I've just arrived home after spending the weekend in The Crewe and Harpur and wanted to write to let you know what a great time we have had there. The pub / main bar room was everything we expected and hoped it would be and everybody enjoyed themselves immensely. What really took us all by surprise was the quality of the accommodation in the various properties and I heard a couple of guys talking about coming back to you in the future for various impending family get togethers. It's not often that I go on a stag-do and people are keen to return to the venue with their family in tow.

Our weekend was a tremendous success.... lots of budding barmen and women!! (which probably accounts for more than a little wastage!), the Hartington Gold was also a great hit with men and women – yep real women drink beer!!!!
The rooms, both in C&H and cottages were very comfortable and spotlessly clean (we had some very picky guests believe me!!) and lovely and warm. We wish to recommend Bob Findlow of Grough-Stuff Walks – he was very helpful in organising a suitable walk and made it interesting too. He has left some business cards in the C&H. The meal that Peak District Foods supplied on Saturday evening was out of this world...how they attained such a high standard of food after travelling was just impressive. Again not one complaint!! On Sunday evening the remaining six of us visited The Royal Oak for a meal, the staff there were lovely and friendly.... the food was fantastic!
Thanks again for helping us celebrate Judith’s 50th birthday.... there were lots of people talking about returning again!

Kind Regards

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic weekend at The Crewe and Harpur. The venue was great and all of my guests really enjoyed themselves.
I am sure that we will be in touch again as several of my friends have important birthdays early next year and the pub is a brilliant venue in fantastic countryside.

Gaunt, Jan 2011
We all had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas and the Crewe and Harpur was the perfect venue for this. I would like to thank you for all your help whilst we were there.

Please can you pass on the message to your staff that everyone had a fantastic time and thought that the venue was amazing. We will certainly be recommending it to friends/relatives
O'Brien, Nov 2010
We had a great time and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.We will definitely be returning to the Crewe & Harpur next year and I will be in touch soon to organise dates.
Walker, Nov 2010
Everything at The Crewe and Harpur worked out really well, except the weather, although they did not let that ruin things.
The accommodation was great and just suited what they were trying to do. They did "come dine with me" and went for a 80's theme on Tuesday night which was great fun and even had the music playing and some old adverts too. I think they struggled to get up on Wednesday for the paintballing but the fresh air did them good and a leisurely walk after that was just what they needed. Thank you for all your help. If we ever need anything similar again we will know where to come.
Umbro, Sep 2010
I would strongly recommend the Crewe and Harpur. I booked the Crew and Harpur and Etwell Cottage for my 30th birthday weekend and it was an amazing weekend. Everyone was really impressed that I managed to find such a great place and I have no doubt that we will be returning.
Cochrane, Sep 2010
Just a short note to thank you for the use of the Crewe & Harpur, the meeting was very successful and all delegates enjoyed themselves. If you could extend our thanks to your staff who were very accommodating and helpful.
Basilea Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Sep 2010
