Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Windy Harbour B&B offers cosy and comfortable rooms, and some guests have enjoyed scenic views from their rooms and a nice little outdoor area. The location offers easy access to the Pennine Way, and it's just a short taxi ride into Glossop centre. While some guests have mentioned the occasional noise due to thin walls, many have found the food tasty, especially the Sunday lunch, and the bar well-stocked. Downstairs is spacious.

adequate stay but needing improvements

small roomsteep stairs
the room i stayed in was quite small. there was also limited space to freely move around in the ensuite bathroom. additionally, the sound insulation proved inadequate as noise easily traveled through the walls. i also found that the stairs was steep, so moving the luggage was a little bit difficult for me.
