The room was not up to my expectations. Too much furniture in a cramped space. The bathroom was cramped too. The room was crudely finished, the floor and the bed creaked. Wi-fi was slow and disconnected repeatedly. I had to use my phone's hotspot to take part on an online video call.

Hotel is clean. Great location & nice staff. The shared areas of the hotel are lovely, but the condition of the rooms leaves a lot to be desired, as did the food. Extra for parking & use of leisure services. Over priced for the quality of hotel which needs an uplift in the rooms desperately.

Horrendous start the lift was broken an mum is 86 an disabled an partly blind .for health & safety it wasnt right. rooms weren't ready. He said was cos of lifts .lifts or not if Ur hotel says check in 3 u should check in at 3 not 4.20. the reception guy was on his own as was moth eaten,was chocca with ppl standing around waiting for rooms, There should of been more staff to deal with it . We wanted to go in the pool which said it closed at 5 Wen we asked he said 4.?? An by the time U check in it will be closed. !! It was mums Xmas present off her daughter's to stay here with nice hotel with a lift an pool .it was not what we booked .she had to walk up four flight of stairs. We got to the room an ours 305 was so badly arranged the TV was facing the wall so no TV in bed U couldn't move it ..the radiator was cold it needed bleeding the room was freezing we had to get up me an my sis an put our jumpers on. The bathroom was tiny..he said he didn't think we would get our money back if we went somewhere else cos we booked through Expedia an his ppl higher up would av to adjudicate it..this is not excepable. No matter who U book with the hotel was not fit for wot we booked. They didn't deliver , instead of sending me an invoice on the frid they should of sent an email informing ppl that the lifts weren't working. That is not our problem .he said the lifts went working from Friday. !!! If we would of known that we could of got our money back form Expedia ..it jus ruined Chatsworth

Location, next door to the train station, elevated position overlooking the town. Front facing room had distant views to Solomons Temple and surrounds. Convenient for all my needs. Onsite parking available. Excellent base for walkers, hikers, a distinct clientele of older folk and frequented by theatregoers to Buxton Opera House. Rooms are big, full of character as befits a grand victorian building. No noise from traffic or anything, at least not from my second floor front room. Clean, quiet and very comfortable, ideal when based here for several nights. Rooms are warm due to older type heating with exposed hot water pipes between rooms. Can't really be controlled but my large window opened enough for cool air. Ensuite wc perfect, furniture and useful tea making facilities too. No room cleaning unless booked the night before. It's a big building to service but I didn't think this would be an issue, but with my five night stay I should have had the room serviced at least once. Reception staff very helpful in all other respects, very smart, knowledgeable too. Breakfast can be booked with the room booking or, as in my case, I booked each day's breakfast the night before at reception. Breakfast is a proper, all you can eat affair. Couldn't fault it. Stuff yourself or take your pick! And the breakfast staff need special praise for doing such a good job. Yes, we'll worth the extra cost, as really, just not worth going anywhere else around the town, as you'll never get this value.
