Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The comfortable and spacious room with a good-sized bathroom and quality furniture made for a relaxing getaway. The friendly and efficient service was a standout, especially when they kindly upgraded us to a lovely room on our second night. The central location in Bakewell was so convenient for exploring the village and nearby attractions.
My stay at the hotel was just what we needed – comfortable, clean, and well-appointed rooms made for a lovely experience. The friendly and efficient service added to the overall pleasant stay. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with some dishes falling short. The central location was a big bonus for exploring the Peak District. The facilities were of high quality, although there seemed to be noise from an extraction fan nearby.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very hot, but comfortable overall. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was a hint of dog odor. The location was nice and convenient, although somewhat separate from the main building. The dining was decent, but with some cold and unappetizing dishes. Overall, a fair value for the price.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the beds and feather duvets were very comfortable, the lack of a requested bath in the room was a bit disappointing. The hotel's warm ambiance made up for it, but some small details were missed like keeping the windows open. The location was perfect for exploring Bakewell but the service could have been better with attention to details like changing wet towels.
