    The Stairs. No lift. But you can ask for help to get your luggage to your room. Which they are very willing to help with.

    Facilities were excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food and service very good indeed.. Could not fault our visit . A hotel you most definitely want to come back too.

    Great place to stay in Bakewell.

    Parking may be a problem, and there is a small free hotel car-park. There other car-parks a short walk from the hotel but these incur an overnight charge. We were advised by e-mail of the parking facilities before our stay. Once we arrived at the hotel we were able to park the car in the hotel car-park for our 5 night stay. We decided to leave the car parked and use the bus or reasonably priced taxi services to get to the various places that we wanted to visit during our stay. Therefore, it was not a problem for us but I can appreciate this may be a concern for other guests staying at the hotel.

    The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly - including the cleaning staff, the receptionists, the bar staff, the restaurant staff and the chef who chatted to us too. The location of the hotel was excellent and very central with easy access to bus stops. The rooms we stayed in were lovely and situated on the second floor of the main hotel building. There is no lift (being an historic building) so a member of staff kindly arranged for our luggage to be taken to our rooms.

    Ventilation in the bathroom could be improved as walls got very wet when using the shower.

    Breakfast freshly cooked and there was a good selection of Pastries etc also. Room was compact but comfortable. The bed was large and I slept really well both nights.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Everything about the Rutland Arms was perfect. The town centre location was excellent, made even better by being able to get a car parking space in the hotel car park. Our room was located in a separate block from the main hotel. It was slightly on the small side, but was beautifully decorated and had everything you could possibly need. It was nice and quiet too. The hotel itself is really lovely, lots of sitting areas if you just fancy a drink and the restaurant where we ate all 3 nights of our stay was excellent. The food was delicious and the staff all very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

    While it was noted the room was small, it was VERY small so lucky we were not staying for many nights. Also the breakfast was good in terms of choice however it must have been a different chef in the morning as the quality of the food was not so good. There is also limited parking for the hotel on a first come, first save basis which can make parking near by difficult.

    The hotel itself is lovely and includes a cafe, bar and restaurant. Right in the heart of Bakewell so perfect if you just want to step out of your hotel for a stroll or dinner in the evening. We ate at the restaurant one night and the food was delicious so highly recommend.

    Breakfast was a little disjointed on the first day due to lack of staff. Served the coffee and tea but no cups or milk. Table wasn't set. Waitress asked what we wanted to order but hadn't been given a menu. Had no idea there was a buffet counter as this was in the main eatery and as we had our dog with us we where sat jn the coffee shop. Asked for toast with our breakfast it never came.

    Huge room! Free parking a bonus. Great idea of dining for free on your birthday! Superb meal. Great Central location. Spotlessly clean.

    Slightly noisy above the road, so sleep with earplugs or windows closed. But I did like the hub of the streets and shops. And cafes. With earplugs it is fine.

    Beautiful place. Very characteristic. Adorable room, lovely details. Very well looked after.
