Ideally located just next to the train station and the city centre. I have stayed here twice already and would pick this hotel again. The bedroom was clean and comfortable, although I’d have liked more than just the one towel and for it to have been changed.

Liked. Firm mattresses. Grandeur of the hotel. Disliked. Pillows rather hard. Breakfast very busy. Some foods were not refilled. Conservatory had lots of space but was very cold so we cleared our own table in the dining room. would have benefited from a little more staff focus.

We enjoyed our stay here for the third time. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The entrance lobby is striking with a beautiful staircase. There has obviously been an effort to restore the hotel from faded glory into somewhere you would want to stay. The pianist in the lobby on the Saturday evening was a nice touch. There is a £5 charge for 24 hours of parking which is very reasonable as finding a space in Buxton when its busy can be difficult. We will be returning soon.
