Lovely hotel with great staff and sensationally good food

Reviewed By David E

I was part of a travel group spending five days seeing the many treasures of the peak District. The Lee Wood made a superb base and in every way exceeded my highest expectations. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, the public areas likewise, the staff were, without exception, friendly and efficient. But the most outstanding aspect for me was the quality - and quantity! - of the food, at every meal. If I ever return to the Peak District, I would head straight for this hotel.

Premier Inn Buxton hotel

Get familiar with this stunning spa town and the equally stunning surrounding countryside when you stay at Premier Inn Buxton. Anyone keen to experience Buxton's Georgian splendour will love being just up the road from the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton Opera House and Buxton Museum and Art Gallery. And don't forget to try some natural spring water straight from the source at St Ann's Well. Our Buxton hotel has an on-site Thyme restaurant and new- generation bedrooms each featuring an impressive 40" flat screen TV, bright modern bathroom with a large shower head and slumber-inducing kingsize Hypnos bed.

Restaurant standard was poor.

Reviewed By L2089AArichardc

Ordered a chilli, but the sour cream was forgotten. No avocados available for partners meal. No pinot grigiot in stock. As the last patrons in the restaurant at 9pm, we were forgotten about (staff had disappeared). I had to buzz the manager for coffees. No de-caff coffee other than sachet. The hotel was fine, but if you want us dining in, you need to do better.

Comfortable self contained room

Reviewed By Mike C

Hi A great welcome when we arrived for our short stop over recently (29/30 May). Our designated self contained room was so very comfortable and we loved the glass fronted porch. The common over the road was ideal for dog walking and being self contained we did not (hopefully) disturb any other guests when taking the dogs for a walk. As for the breakfast, what can I say other than superb! We wish we could have stayed longer, another time then, we look forward to returning.

To be honest, upon arrival at the Pub and looking at the external facade, my wife and I looked at each other and both silently thought omg we've made a mistake! How wrong we were! From walking in through the front door to departing 3 days later we were made to feel part of a local family. The accommodation was more than adequate with the bonus of full Sky TV and super fast broadband. The breakfast was extremely good and the service was second to none. The pub has a music genre which encorporates all tastes, and the 2 bands we experienced were extremely good. Also when we retired early to our room, there was no hint of sound from 5 MTRS away. Clearly well insulated. The lady who runs front of house during the day is a Consummate Professional and the Landlord was professional and dealt with the only issue we had immediately and with no qualms about the time. All in all a great experience, and one which will be repeated soon hopefully.

Disappointing...

Reviewed By garye971

My wife and I have been visiting The Old Hall for about twenty five years. It has been our favourite hotel for a very long time. We stayed last night for the first time since before the Covid outbreak and it was familiar, but not the same. The hotel seems to have been stripped. A lot of the interesting things which were hanging on walls and sitting on shelves seem to have disappeared. Carpets were grubby and the paintwork shabby. Our room, which we always request, was very tired looking. There used to be bathrobes in the executive rooms, but there were none. There used to be various additional toiletries in the bathroom, but there were none. The bed was very clumsily made and messy. The divans were not even joined and we're several inches apart. I had to maul with them to resecure them. Nonetheless, we were going to enjoy our stay. A visit to the empty bar saw a very polite barman struggle to pull a pint of beer for me as part of the tap, some sort of valve, was missing. It wasn't the most enjoyable drink I've ever had. We were the only diners in the restaurant as they were taking no additional bookings as they had a function on and only one chef! However, our meal was excellent and served in good time. The aforementioned barman was doubling up in the restaurant and was very polite and helpful. It would be nice, however, to have unused cutlery removed from the table at the end of each course. This should be standard practice in any restaurant. We slept well, but the mattresses do dip in the middle and are well overdue for replacement. Breakfast was excellent, although the main part used to be table served and is now buffet style. Fair enough. I think I prefer the old way with full waiter/waitress service, but that's only my opinion. I had been told that the hotel was to be refurbished since Ensana took over, but I've seen no evidence of this. The hotel is tired and shabby and is a shadow of it's former self. It appears understaffed. It used to be buzzing with staff and guests and it had a wonderful atmosphere, as I alluded to in a review in May, 2019, but all that has gone. It seems to me that Ensana are cutting costs at the Old Hall in favour of The Crescent. They have a duty of responsibility to maintain this famous hotel to a far higher standard than this. From reviews I have read, you will lose many old customers. Will you lose us? I hope not, but we will be looking for some improvements on our next visit. In conclusion, we can't fault any of the clearly overstretched staff who were friendly and helpful. Pleas give us our Old Hall back!

Seven of us and one dog visited for an evening meal. The welcome was friendly. The menu is typical pub grub but I have to say everything we ordered was lovely. Didn't know what to expect when we went in having driven past many times but was pleasantly surprised. Worth popping in for a hearty meal.

You know what you get with this hotel. Yes it’s old and may need touching up but still very nice. Staff are accommodating as always. Make sure you look at most reviews as we all have different tastes! I can’t fault it for my stay as I know what I was getting. Best speaking to people personally who have stayed to fully judged! Some of us are so quick to moan when there is no need! I’ll be back there again soon ?

Great location, lovely breakfast

Reviewed By LizzygirlUk

We stayed for one night when attending a show at the opera house. There is a good amount of parking at the back and the house fronts onto the lake in the Pavilion Gardens. Perfectly sited for an amble to the show and access to some interesting pubs and restaurants. Our room was at the back of the house, so no views, but perfectly fine for a one night stopover. It was clean and comfortable, with plenty of storage space and a smallish en suite shower room. The breakfast was excellent! Overall, the decor is a little dated, but clean and tidy. If you want a modern hotel, this is not the place for you. But if you want somewhere comfortable, in a nice, quiet location, with a great breakfast, at a reasonable price, then get booking!

Staden Grange

Lovely and clean, tiniest of bathrooms

Reviewed By phoebep367

Stayed at Staden Grange b&b - room was clean, complimentary drinks and slippers. Bed had lovely pillows. Bathroom, although very clean and new looking, was exceptionally tiny - shower is unusable for anyone of a larger girth or with any mobility issues (shower has a sliding door with very small space to enter the shower). Would not stop for more than one night purely because of the shower (I am large but I have never been anywhere that I can’t fit through the shower door!) Breakfast was nice with a selection of cereals and toast and a choice of hot cooked breakfasts that you order the night before. Mushroom seemed uncooked but didnt spoil the rest. There was no mini farm which was part of the reason we booked here which was disappointing It is a lovely looking place and the camping area looked pleasant. Mini park for younger children. Its a taxi ride to town unless you are a serious walker - costs around £8. All in all it is a lovely place but if all the bathrooms are so tiny it would not be for us again
