The hotel itself was beautiful in the main areas. Our room was the worst we have stayed in. The bathroom had paint peeling off the ceiling, rusty pipes, broken tap, broken toilet seat, the flooring was lifting, mold, no plug for the sink, the net curtain didn’t close and you were seen in the shower. We paid a high amount for this hotel as we specifically wanted to use the spa only to find it was shut for a refurb. We spoke to reception who said the hotel was full and they couldn’t move us. We didn’t want to use the bathroom or shower and spent the evening out of our room only to sleep and leave in the morning as early as possible. Will not be going back nor recommending it.

Do not recall any information with regards to the pool being under refurb and the gym being used for material storage. The room was as clean as it could be but it was so dated and everything well used/worn

Very disappointed
One night stay for anniversary and booked as it said there was A swimming pool and spa I was informed that it was closed for renovation even on hotels it said nothing about it being closed. The bathroom was a joke. You had to walk sideways and could barely get on the toilet. Didn’t even try to attempt to use the shower. The rooms were very dark with no access to open the window, just a fan and also the bed was so uncomfortable. I’ve never been in such awful hotel.

Room though large and clean need refurbishment. Plenty of hot water but bathroom dated from about 1985...and looks it. Ground floor open ateas in good condition and cheap parking (£5 per day). Bedrooms need updating though...

A really lovely grand hotel, it looks and feels really luxurious in the public rooms which have been recently renovated. If the same was applied to our room this hotel would have the super wow factor. We will definitely return here

The rooms were dated. The first room we had to vacate it was smelt damp and was dark. We were re located to another, but the sink was cracked and the baths enamel was pealing in one place. Will not be returning

Its a good base for exploring the Peak district. The room space is large enough even though I’ve booked a compact room. Although, the hotel is a good base to explore around, the room is not regularly cleaned when we go out and the towels are not changed. Also, the shower/bath is leaking. Parking is also a problem as I paid parking for 3 nights but on the 2nd night, the parkung is full and I have to find parking on the street. Though, the hotel refund the night I wasn’t able to park, I find it incovenient to look for parking space that should have been reserved for guests who paid in advance. Despite all of these, the staff are very accommodating, friendly and helpful.
