Public rooms very nicely decorated, bedroom (116) had its main decor revamped but was let down by some 'shabby' fitments. Main 'gripes' were that the evening meal menu outside the dining room bore no resemblence to the food on offer inside! Although the breakfast buffet was very good. Also, not happy about having to pay for car parking and wi-fi in rooms...

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.

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.

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.

This is a very grand old building and a really enjoyable place to stay. It has some areas that could do with a bit of mending and if that kind of thing is really important to you it might affect your view. I was in a standard double and the facilities were great the bed was very comfortable and massive. We had a meal in the evening which was very good and reasonably priced. The big plus was the staff. There were not very many in the hotel but they were very helpful and friendly. Overall an enjoyable stay in a grand old hotel that could do with some love. Again staff were a massive plus point. Well done guys.
