Packhorse Inn
About
The Packhorse Inn is a historic and charming pub perched in Little Longstone, Derbyshire. Celebrated as one of the Peak District’s finest alehouses, it offers a warm welcome with three roaring fires and a covered, heated pergola perfect for dog‑friendly patrons. The menu showcases locally sourced meat, game, breads and cheeses that change monthly to highlight the best of Derbyshire, while a curated selection of cask ales—particularly Thornbridge Brewery’s signature flavours—shapes the beer list. The cosy atmosphere has earned a spot in the Good Beer Guide and a top‑10 ranking from TripAdvisor’s cosy pubs. Guests are encouraged to book tables through the on‑site booking form, especially during weekends and high‑season periods, to secure a spot in this beloved local haunt.
