Friendly, comfortable and clean accommodation.

The room was in an annexe at the rear of the pub. It had tea and coffee making facilities, large TV, storage and double bed. The room was clean and comfortable. The en suite shower room was modern and clean. The shower was good with plenty of room to move around. Complimentary shower gel and shampoo was also provided. I was particularly pleased that the toilet was quite high as I have a bad leg and often find it difficult to get off low toilet seats. Staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very good with a selection of cereal, fruit juice, full English and plenty of toast. Extra toast was offered if you wanted it. There was a band on in the bar on Saturday night and it was very busy but you couldn't hear a thing in your room. Very well sound proofed. Having said that there was a very loud rumbling noise every so often that seemed to be under the room. I'm not sure what it was but I could only guess it was some roller shutters or gates opening and closing in the yard. Perhaps a warning about this might be a good idea. It made jump the first time I heard it. All in all an enjoyable stay in a clean, friendly hotel.

Not accessible. Property is old and there are no lifts. Inconvenient to get luggage up and down to the rooms. Parking is a nightmare around the property. Rooms are overpriced for what you get for, would recommend larger, more well-known brands instead.

Good location.

Last minute booking, so not much time researching. Room was small but clean, tea and coffee making facilities. Shower was good and. Could not hear the live band that was playing, but had some noise off the street. Would have scored more but the staff were a bit rude when I asked for extra pots of milk. Good location, only on street parking.

An excellent place to stay for a couple of nights

Easy check-in and friendly staff showing me to my room and instructing me to let him know if there was anything I required during my stay. Room, which is separate to the main pub, was adequate in size and facilities with a very good shower in the bathroom. The hotel is close to the market square where there is a good choice of restaurants, shops and cafes, and it's easy to find breakfast if you decide not to have it in the hotel. It's also only a short 10-15 minute walk to the lower town with all the spa facilities and attractive buildings, although lookout for extortionate tourist prices around there!

The accommodation is around the back of the pub and was very good. The pub itself was not the best in Buxton so we went elsewhere. No parking and we got a ticket for parking nearby but the hotel were great when we raised it and compensated us.

A lovely hotel which is masked by a traditional pub frontage. The rooms which are at the back of the pub in a purpose built buildings are spacious and clean. The pub has great live bands on every Friday and Saturday evenings.

Great location, right in the town centre. Very modern and clean. Easy to control the temperature of the room. Downside: low shower pressure and no parking. A council car park is a minute walk away which is fine but the app didn't work and I had to go and pay again after 6pm in order to pay for the morning.

The room is attached to a lovely pub, situated at the back of the beer garden. Not much noise and, and the garden is closed at 10pm to respect people staying there. The room was large with a huge bed. 32 inch TV with Sky channels. Lovely shower room. Breakfast is served in the pub in the morning. The full English was tasty and came with toast too. If I had any complaint it would be the bed was not the most comfortable but didnt stop my sleep. There was live music in the pub on the evening I stayed, everyone was very friendly.

Very clean and modern annexe behind the pub. Unexpectedly quiet. Hauling a heavy suitcase up the stairs to the bedrooms was a bit challenging, but I'd definitely stay there again. Breakfast options were rather limited, but if you like a fried breakfast you're catered for!

Clean rooms and friendly service. Basic accommodation for a fair price. Very popular and lively pub. Well sound proofed so the noise from the pub doesn’t interfere with your sleep on weekends. We stayed here for a wedding at the pavilion gardens and were happy with our choice
