Perfect stay for a short walk into Buxton
Lovely stay. Have been coming here for over ten years. We were greeted by a very friendly young man on reception and lovely chat in the bar area too with the barman and other guests.

Room was very cold amd needed to soeak to hotel staff to het heating sorted. Room was also very noisy with exrernal noise of swimming pool amd spa constant throughout the night. Hotel is in serious need of updating as needed to unplug kettle/tv to ensure we charged our mobile phones. Food in restauramt was ok as was breakfast, however no mixed berries for breakfast. No one on hand for a choice of eggs so left with fried.

Irritating
I use a Powerchair. I found the hotel’s accessibility difficult. The bathroom was not accessible, and I found it difficult to be expected to climb into the shower, which I couldn't. Most accessible bathrooms are the wetroom type. More accessible sockets would also be helpful and the room was quite cold. It felt like the room was thrown together just so they could claim they had ‘an accessible room’ The charge of £7 per day per device is excessive for wifi. I didn't use it. It was also irritating to be expected to negotiate my way from the dining room back to my room to get my wallet/ phone to pay for an orange juice I had with my meal.

Grand old hotel
Was alright, quite noisy early morning with fire doors banging shut. A great lack of plug sockets when we found a near one it wasn't working. This is a grand hotel but cant help feeling the rooms could do with a bit of modernising. Breakfast was good and the staff very accomadating.

4/10 Fair

Perhaps we were unlucky this time...
It was disappointing. We have been regular guests over the last few years but not sure I'll go back. Room was too hot, no internet in rooms or public areas, bed too uncomfortable - I even slept on the floor on first night - bath small, distance between bath and toilet very small and I cut my thigh on the toilet roll holder. As it drew blood, I decided not to use the sauna for hygiene reasons and it was mentioned that the chlorine in the pool probably wouldn't be too good for me neither. As we had gone mainly for the pool and spa, that was the end of that part of our break. Breakfast was also sometimes chaotic; on the first morning, there were no cups for hot drinks, no glasses for fruit juice, no bowls for fruit or cereal and no plates for cooked breakfast. Of course it can be hard to judge what time guests might want to have breakfast but I don't remember this type of situation before, and on the last night, had to wait over an hour for a bar snacks Margherita pizza. Not sure what type was brought but it wasn't what we ordered and I couldn't eat it, it tasted of marmite.

2/10 Poor

Ghastly rip off!
This was probably the worst hotel stay we have experienced. Firstly it wasn't cheap £95 of the room plus £10 for our dog plus £5 for parking. Exterior of hotel impressive, Interior dated and in need of a big refurb. Resembled a care home and food smelled institutional. We were given a room on the ground floor, Great! as we had cases, a dog and bags. Long walk to tiny crooked staircase and our room. Looked like student accommodation with the cheapest furniture, no space to move at all, heating on full blast, which made it like an oven. We had to move the furniture to open the window and wedge it open with a bottle of water. The MOST uncomfortable tiny double bed, we didn't sleep at all! Horrible horrible, the photos say it all! The extremely pleasant cleaning lady, said next time ask for a room on the main floor! Definitely won't be a next time!!!! Coach loads of people on cheap trips with anyone else subsidising their costs I presume! We were room 8 unfortunately.
Real luxury!
Ghastly furniture!
Your room number 8 is on the ground floor!
Resembles a care home!
