The bizarre, tacky, movie themed hotel was a big let down. Very dated and not the cleanest, especially the bathroom with its leaky toilet. No drinking water or glasses provided. Wouldnt have eaten breakfast if offered!!! The welcome was non-existant, only interested in getting paid. Lift out of order and metal props visible going up the stairs. Not sure how safe this hotel really is. Come on chaps, its not rocket science. Clean up and get painting!!! The only good thing about this place was the location.

The hotel is quite nice and cozy. Old! Yet had its own charm, representing the cute little town in middle of the reserve. It's placed perfectly away from all the buzz and a short walk to the town centre. Plenty of free car park spots around the hotel was a bonus. The Room was as described and well maintained, worth the cost. Friendly caretakers. All in all... It gives you everything that anyone would require after a long trek and walks in peak District.
Btw! We got Clint Eastwood room.😎 Check it out to figure out more.

Place is quite dated and needs a make over. It was exhausting climbing three flights of stairs as the lift was broken. However, on the plus side it is very reasonably priced, there is free parking right outside and free wifi. The rooms are large. It is ideally located just across from the park and if you walk through the park you are in the town.
If you keep your expectations low and go in the knowledge that it is very dated you will have a lovely time as Buxton and the surrounding area is lovely.

The reason for such a low rating are as follows; The Fabric of the exterior and interior is in need of extensive refurbishment. The Bedroom we stayed in for two nights is in need of immediate redecoration, with the Bedlinen and Towels of an age needing replacement. The location is within easy walking distance of the Town Centre and potentially upgraded overall would be an ideal Hotel . The Owners/ Management need to up their game .

Great location, stayed in the suite as have stayed in it before, hasn't changed in design unfortunately getting a bit dated now, a few cracks in the wall, sofa needs replacing as the springs have started to go just a few minor wear and tear in places but the room was clean, great size and I love the bathroom which is almost the same size as the room. We will return but hope that it gets a bit of tlc ready for next time.

Awful place. Even though I knew not to expect too much for the price, it still managed to unfulfil my expectations.
The room was OK as a place to take a shower and sleep. However, no air conditioning or fan meant I had to keep the window open, and because it's so close to the road the cars kept waking me up.
Additionally, the service was very poor. All I needed was for them to replace the towels and maybe clean the room every couple of days, however, on the first night I was left without towels in the room. On the second night the left some cleaning equipment inside my room, including some rubish. I had to take it out into the hall.

Very old hotel, but it does have some unique features. Overall it's ok.

I will start with the positives .. location great , across the road from the pavilion gardens , which along with Buxton it’s self were beautiful, Now the negatives .. Dated & tired looking, & it could do with a complete revamp, their was no working lift which meant a walk up two flights of stairs to our room ( + the stair banisters creaked a bit when holding on to them !) which wasn’t very good when suffering from arthritis & using a walking stick ! The accommodation was room only , but breakfast would of been nice . Would I stay there again ?? .. yes , if they did some improvements
