This is the second time I have stayed here and I like it. It has obviously been a grand place in the past and it retains some nice features. With a building like this it is difficult not to notice some little things that need attention. However I have had two of the best nights sleep ever when staying here. The bed was super comfortable and massive. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is extra but that wasn't a big deal and I have paid more for less in other places.

The bathroom was tired and dated, there was a charge to use wifi in the room, there was a charge to park your car in the carpark. There was a charge to use the hotel swimming pool (!). None of this was explained or seemed apparent at time of booking. The receptionist at checkout was just plain rude when asked a question about car parking. I've never left a bad review before and we are really easy going people but I didn't think the price we paid justified all this. The hotel itself is lovely and the other waiting staff were friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely fine stay for the room rate that I paid, was outdated and room was a little chilly so was grateful for blanket and heating in room was decent. All in all, a no frills hotel that could do with a refurb that is in keeping in its time. Cracking location and impressive entrance/lobby. Would absolutely stay again.

Stayed in room 167, tv not tuning into any channels. Phoned hotel up 3 times no answer. Went down to reception phoned again and it was only when i pressed the bell did a young lad came out the back saying he just heard it. He changed our room straight away to room 54. It took nearly 10 mins for hot water to come through to the bath. On the plus side tv was working. No wifi in room unless you pay, its 2024 move with the times! Expensive breakfast at £12 on the day you arrive or £15 the morning you decide to have it. Better to go 5 mins into Buxton and use a local cafe.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Was okay but a few things we were disappointed with: 1. WiFi is chargeable per day and you have to pay per device. That means every phone in your party. Since mobile reception was pretty poor in the area, this seemed cynical. 2. The gym was also extra (as were the rest of the health facilities) but the wording of the booking implies it is included (no mention of extra charges). 3. You have to request housekeeping. Whilst I understand this is probably to reduce waste and cost, would have been nice for the check-in team to point that out. Returning to your room in the evening to discover you are still out of the basics is a bit frustrating. The point is that those things are included in almost all other hotels so it’s a bit of a surprise and a gotcha.
