Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right in the heart of the beautiful town of Bakewell, making it an ideal location for exploring the area. The rooms offer a view out into the charming village, with massive comfy beds, although the facilities are a bit dated and could be cleaner. The service was outstanding, deserving special recognition for the exceptional manager. Dining options were not included, but the Mediterranean food served was delightful. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in the center of Bakewell, an ideal place for those who like everything close by. The rooms are well-equipped, some with a bath and all with really good beds. The service is exceptional, particularly the manager who deserves an award. However, the dining options are not included in the stay, serving meals at a specific time. The location is convenient, in the heart of town, close to the river and in a relaxed pub setting.
