The hotel has has a recent upgrade and looks amazing. Set in beautiful grounds and walking distance stroll into town. Upon arrival we had a lovely welcome by staff and our room was lovely too. The stairs are beautiful and the facilities and areas around the ground floor of the hotel are really comfortable and relaxing to enjoy. Parking is only £5 for 24 hours and the staff are so friendly and helpful.

I love this hotel, I visit at least twice a year. Its large, but comfortable and perfectly situated for both the town of Buxton and the wider peak district. The staff are mainly young, but helpful and hardworking ....they could do with a few more sometimes, they can be very busy, especially in the bar. I like that is so close to the opera house and all the lovely little restaurants, plenty of shops too. The breakfasts are worth having, i havent had dinner there as there is so much choice of restaurants in town.

Last minute room only deal which was very reasonable for a Friday night. Hotel was very central and parking for £5 very reasonable. Weather was lovely so we didn’t get time to use the Swimming pool (which was £6 each). We enjoyed sitting on the lovely lawn area having drinks.

We are in our 60's and we felt young staying in this hotel. The rooms were very warm in the hot summer with only one towel between two of us in the rather outdated bathrooms. The large dining room only had 3 dinner reservations on a Friday evening so we ate out and breakfast in a nice local cafe was more appealing than having it in. Faded glory......
