Poor

  : Stopped for 1 night restaurant food very good.Hotel itself very dated room toilet seat broken wobbly only one side fitted shower door handle missing to close door and didn't fit properly so gap were water went through wetting bathroom floor.We hadn't booked breakfast but with the meal we had in restaurant we decided to pay £15 Each for brekkie. AVoid at all cost sat down one women In bar area who spoke only a little English brought our coffee and then left us no breakfast menus had to ask to order breakfast no choice on asking what we could have she shrugged her shoulders so ended up with bacon egg sausage hash brown mushrooms. and beans as seemed nothing else available no cereal orange juice etc.Breakfast was awful bacon burnt to a cinder poor quality mushrooms swimming in grease 1 small piece of toast I wouldn't have paid a fiver for no extra coffee offered.No person around to complain to extremily disappointed and feel robbed of £30 Our evening meal only cost a few pounds more. Left disgruntled after trying to find someone to speak too.

  : Location was easy for us to get to from Buxton where we were spending the weekend with family (13 minutes in the car). Spacious room. Sleeps 5 with 2 double beds and one of the beds had a single bunk, so great for a family with 3 kids.
  : No teaspoons to make the tea. No hooks to hang wet towels or robe in bathroom. No lock on bathroom door. I popped out in the morning to get fuel, had to ask a member of staff to let me out as the back door as the door had a strange lock that I couldn't fathom, I told her I'd be back in 10mins. Upon my return, the external door was locked and no amount of banging worked, so I had to wait outside for my family to pack up and leave! Would be helpful if door was kept open, or a bell installed!

  : Shower was good. Location in centre of town was fine.
  : I asked about parking and never got a response so ended up parking down a side road. There was only one option for breakfast of £15 so no good for a lighter breakfast so I had to go to Morrison's. Trying to get in late there is some really stupidly complicated door that did not even work to get in the property. My room was next to the busy main road so not great in the morning.
