6/10 Good

Comfortable room though squeaky doors and broken chair. Bar food pricey but ordinary, breakfast sufficient but below expectations. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful setting in magnificent surroundings.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a fantastic location. If you’re expecting modern and contemporary then think again. It’s an old building but the staff are very nice and it has character.

Friendly Staff In A Quirky Hotel

A quirky little spot with bags of character — and just as many creaky floorboards. The staff were warm and welcoming, and our room was spotless, although any notion of soundproofing seems to have been more of a suggestion than a feature. Expect to become well-acquainted with your neighbours’ late-night coughs and early morning floorboard sprints. The hotel itself has a certain quaint charm, the kind that teeters between “authentically rustic” and “in need of a modest refurb”. A lick of paint and a few modern touches wouldn’t go amiss. The bar food was a mixed bag — the pie and mash was genuinely enjoyable, while the burger looked like it had done a short stint in prison before making its way to our table. Edible, just not… uplifting. Fortunately, we had a decent Hotels.com discount, which made the stay feel like fair value. Without it, the price tag — particularly for food and drink — would have been hard to justify for what is, in essence, a perfectly average experience with a side of charm.

Peak Place

Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, terrific location. Clean, tidy room that could do with a refurb. Very hard bed! Close to hill walks as well as Dovedale and The Tissington TrAil

A lovely country house hotel in the most beautiful setting. Comfortable beds, and an excellent restaurant.
Nigel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Such a beautiful and relaxing setting. A quiet ambient indoor setting to and furnished well. The food was adequate at breakfast and the evening meal was good. An improvement would be better quality pillows as the ones provided where flat and uncomfortable.

Fantastic location ...but would stay elsewhere!

Absolutely beautiful location. Lovely walks from the door. Last stayed here back in May 2019 and couldn't wait to return. We booked for two nights. The bed was comfy and we had a nice view towards Thorpe Cloud. Nice selection of drinks from the bar, and prices reasonable. Bacon and sausage were nice quality at breakfast. There was a small selection of mini boxed cereals, pots of yoghurt, cooked breakfast items, bread, butter and a couple of preserves. Shower gel , body lotion, hand soap and shampoo in the bathroom. Towels nice and soft. Tea and coffee facilities in room. Very small digital TV, but worked fine. We couldn't think of any more positives. We would probably stay elsewhere in future should we come back to this area as, unfortunately, the hotel appears under different management now. There was zero customer service. No one seemed to bother, with guests appearing low on staffs agenda. Meals overpriced for sub standard food, and served in bar area. Staff did nothing despite food being inedible. 10 minutes of opening hot food ran out. No dairy free or gluten free options. Staff didn't know what porridge was when asked. Had to ask for plates and cutlery. Toaster didn't work. Room needed a good clean and looked part decorated and shabby. Dirty cutlery left on floor in restaurant, tables left uncleared whilst guests were looking for tables. Such a shame how down hill it has got. We had a lovely meal at a nearby location the following day.

The staff, food and service were excellent. The hotel is a little tired in places, our room was comfortable and clean, the shower and taps useless.

Poor quality hotel in good location

The only thing going for this hotel is its location. The rooms, staff service, are poor. AA 3* is very generous. Everything seems to be very basic.
