    Arrive early if you want to park there. The 2nd floor twins are tiny like servants quarters. And not worth an upgrade from over the road. Don't believe the 'superior' label. We complained, got upgraded at no cost to a spacious en suite room each. Manager really helpful - done with no fuss.

    Breakfast Spacious room Great dining room Staff so polite and friendly, responsive to needs.

    The rooms were lovely and warm but the duvets were far too heavy for that level of heating.

    The location. The rooms, bar, lounges and dining room were all lovely .

    More parking would have been ideal as stayed 6 nights and was first come first served and other options are 5mins walk or more away. Overnight options limited if you are unlucky enough to not have a space - recommend JustPark rather than using Public Car Park.

    Location is perfect to explore National Park. Central in Bakewell. Staff clearly love their work and care about customers. Restaurant very good quality. Ambience great. Decor extremely tasteful - especially dining room and lounge areas.

    Lovely stay in a Hotel with character, (mostly) helpful and friendly staff who are happy in service

    I found out about the 'Hotel Parking Permit' on scanning the info card in the room. This information could have been provided by the Receptionist at the time of booking in. The Hotel Car park is across a main road close to a roundabout on one side and a blind bend on the other.

    Good breakfast. Buffet and freshly cooked to order. Room clean, tidy, and maybe a wee bit too cosy. Evening meal available. Menu catered for most tastes. Some 'homely' menu items which, had that additional professional touch.

    Everything about this hotel was superb, from the great location, excellent staff, wonderful decor and such a gorgeous breakfast. Everyone of the staff without exception were so courteous, friendly and helpful.

    Great location with free limited parking. Lovely hotel with a lot of history attached to it. Staff friendly and informative loved our stay.

    The only downside was that the WiFi was very weak in a dog friendly room, though I enjoyed having time away from my phone and watching TV.

    The room was cosy with a very comfy bed and I had one of the best sleeps in my life. The whole room was very clean like properly cleaned by a professional. The amenities were great, little treats like hot chocolate and cookies were a nice touch. Also, they provided dog amenities too which was very nice. The staff members were very polite and professional. Check in was so smooth and trying to extend the stay was very easy. The location was unbeatable, the hotel is located in the middle of the town. Close to everything really and was very convenient. Overall, my stay was amazing. I highly recommend this hotel.

    Parking was a bit of a challenge - we were lucky to get the last space in the car park, but there are plenty of car parks nearby.

    Comfortable stay in a fantastic location with a great breakfast. Rooms were cosy and the staff were very friendly and efficient even though it was very busy.
