Peak Place
Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, terrific location. Clean, tidy room that could do with a refurb. Very hard bed! Close to hill walks as well as Dovedale and The Tissington TrAil

Stayover for the Sheepdog Trials
We both slept well in very comfortable beds. My average scores reflect the draughty and cool Derwent Bar which reduced the pleasure of a pre-Dinner drink. My wife’s diet is restricted and she was allowed to order the Haddock and Chips in the Restaurant - sadly - no Mushy Peas. My choice of the Lamb Rump proved to be mediocre and as such well over-priced at £30. We enjoyed sharing the Cheeseboard which was enough for two. The Waitress was helpful and very pleasant. Breakfast OK but limited choice of Cereal.

Poor quality hotel in good location
The only thing going for this hotel is its location. The rooms, staff service, are poor. AA 3* is very generous. Everything seems to be very basic.

8/10 Very Good

The location was lovely and so was the hotel itself beautiful view from our room and food was very good. Just a couple of niggles which was a shame and let it down, we felt the staff were quite arrogant, we specifically booked a table early to sit in a window seat. However a booking for 10 took priority and they totally changed the layout of the room, this after we had already spent over £50 on drinks.No apology no alternative just it is what it is. The prices of the drinks changed we were charged 3 different prices for the same drinks whicy was disappointing. Finally, we arrived Saturday afternoon and sat next to a couple who had food, our glasses and their plates of leftover food were still outside this morning! when I did take our empty glasses back to the bar there wasn't even a thankyou. I think that training on politeness and cleanliness needs to be given to certain staff members!

Amazing location, could walk straight from the hotel to Dovedale and had a wonderful walk. The bed was so comfortable and the room had a lovely view. We didn't eat at the hotel but did head to the bar. Staff were generally friendly but we were given inaccurate information from staff about ordering lunches which was frustrating and cleaning staff walked in whilst still in bed!

Excellent short break
Had a lovely weekend break. This is a traditional country hotel, rooms and decor are dated to match the country setting, which we prefer. Hotel was clean, staff were friendly and attentive. The option of dining in the bar or the restaurant, gave us diversity with evening meals, with menu and price accordingly. We chose Friday night in the bar and Saturday in the restaurant and the food was excellent on both nights. We will definitely return, and use this as a base for walking. Hopefully when the weather isn’t as wet or the ground as muddy.
