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.

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.

We were disappointed with the a few things in this hotel. The rooms are really just OK, the rooms need modernising, paint peeling off the ceiling, broken tiles, TV stations break up constantly, it needs some attention to really be credible 4 star in the standard rooms. The grandeur of the property doesn’t match the rooms sadly. We also had a constant rumbling going on in the evening. The full English breakfast is the focus, everything else is pretty limited in choice, which is difficult if you want a break from fried food. We didn’t use the bar, but the prices looked reasonable. It’s a popular and busy place, but it just didn’t live up to our hopes and expectations. The location is great for getting around. They seem to have cut corners to make savings, but it does show in the quality of service provided for their visitors!

The room was small but adequate and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our breakfasts and had plenty to choose from. The bar staff were pleasant and helpful. It would have been good to have some evening lights on the outside path down to the town. The gardener had a difficult job to clear the leaves from the path. He did a good job
