Family With Children · Sep 2026

Three ladies of mature years

Liked:The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were pleasant and clean. I understand the hotel has changed hands recently and I think it could be improved and still retain the unique atmosphere

Disliked:The evening meal was bland, the same every day. Apart from Monday it was served only in the bar. The bar was dingy, cold and at times very noisy. We did not enjoy the food in there. We hadn't any transport and being elderly were not able to go elsewhere apart from our last night when a fellow guest gave us a lift to an Italian restaurant which made all the difference to our final day.

Very convenient and friendly, but needs some tlc

Liked:The room was large and comfortable. Evening meal was excellent on the night we arrived, breakfasts were good. The staff were generally very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent and the price reasonable, which just about made up for the defects noted below.

Disliked:The main door was open all the time, even when no staff were visible. It made the public area cold and unwelcoming and full of leaves, On one evening there was no-one in reception, the bar was closed (and the door handle hanging off), and we could not get into the dining room to find anyone, even though it was supposed to be open. The hotel was generally shabby

Very dissapointing, felt cheated.

Liked:Spectacular position in old georgian section of old Buxton town. The building has tremendous character and history. I did like the effort made for the table dressing at breakfast. Handy spa. Prime location for the opera house and pavillion gardens.

Disliked:Character spoiled by neglect. Incredibly shabby. The entrance hall was dirty, musty smelling with a dirty unkempt carpet and furnishings. very unwelcoming. It established a poor impression straight away. The decoration in the whole hotel was well past its prime, with peeling wallpaper, missing patches, knocked to bits painwork, and damp patches on the ceilings. The rooms were nothing like the photos on Trip advisor, which when we later checked up on were 7 years old. musty old furniture (and I love antique furniture) Nothing was made of the history of the place. The food was appalling, not fresh, not well cooked, poor breakfast selection. No continental option, no sliced meats or cheeses or fresh fruit. Tinned fruit and cheap pastries! First day, bacon and sauage overcooked to being inedible, every day after, not cooked enough, and had a residual cheap packet bacon taste and smell. Poor housekeeping and hospitality! Hard lumpy beds, cheap poly duvets and pillows. The place needs a complete overhall, updating, redecorating, reburbishment, lots of investment to bring it up to even an acceptable level. Considering the spa was advertised as a potential experience for hotel guests, there was no information about it in the hotel, and the concession for hotel guests was negligable in an otherwise very expensive spa!
