The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is a beautiful example of a victorian grand dame, elegant and gracious. The menu is a little lacking in finesse and could use being updated.

Living on faded glory, but good value

It’s a lovely building, but the rooms are a bit run down, and service a bit lacking. . Having said that, it is marvellously cheap, and very conveniently located in the centre of Buxton.

We dont really have a complaint ... just a couple of comments. When we stayed it was a glorious day with record temperatures and the blossoms in the trees where in full bloom. Everything was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. Comments We had what i thought on entry was a compact room due to size, i attended reception and asked if i could pay extra for a standard and was told we were in a standard already - it did seem small. SO ... we paid for an upgrade to a Junior Suit, it cost £40 extra but to be fair it was fabulous. The bar closed at 10:30 on a hot spring evening with plenty of guests still looking to enjoy the weather and sit outside or in the bar. Breakfast finishes at 930 which i think is early for a location that has a more "mature" clientele. Checkout is 10:00am which again i think is early. Most hotels are 11:00am with an option to noon. Finally - the lift is scary ... i know its old. I get it. So am i but the lift creaks more than i do. As i started with not complaints .. just comments. Overall the stay was great and we are already looking to come back in the summer.

The hotel was nicely presented, clean and the staff were very helpful. The room itself was a little shabby and in need of some updating. Some items were mismatched and the toiletries were terrible, but everything was clean and the beds were comfy. Dinner was nice and the service was quick. The lady in the lounge bar who brought our coffee was absolutely lovely - couldn't do enough for us. I wish I'd thought to get her name. I'd definitely stay again.
