Great Hotel and short stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, room was clean and the place looked like it had been refurbished recently. We didn’t eat there as only there for 2 nights and came to visit the many pubs and excellent eateries in Buxton. We will certainly be booking again.

Great location the rest is average at best
Hotel was in a fantastic location and the communal areas are very grand. The bedrooms are tired but ok. The temperature is ridiculously hot and could not turn the radiator down in the end opened the bedroom. Getting a drink wasn’t easy lots of staff but no one around. Had to pay to use the ‘spa’ facilities but really not very nice would not bother in future.

Great stay
Lovely Twixmas stay. Beautiful building, close to everything Buxton has to offer. Breakfast fine for price paid. Bed a bit hard for our liking, but room was fine for our needs. Pets welcome. Slow lift.

Lovely escape, property is full of character and steeped in history. Room was spacious and quirky and the facilities were as we'd expected them to be. The ladies in the treatment room were amazing and helpful as were the ladies on reception. Would definitely go back.

Traveled with family
The standard double room we booked was tiny. I was told the cheaper compact room was the same but without a window. We stayed in room 175 and the smell from the drains was awful. The breakfast was good except for the sausages. The tables were large communal which wasn’t a problem for us. The building itself is stunning with lots of character.

We love Buxton anyway and got a good offer for this hotel. The hotel is very grand and comfortable in all public areas, however our room and particularly the hard uncomfortable bed let it down. We'd definitely look to book again but would try to upgrade to a better room.
