Built in 1868, this is a Majestic Hotel that sits on a hill overlooking the town of Buxton. It has a Victorian appearance when you walk through the revolving doors, but with a luxurious, and comfortable feel in the reception, and lounge, bar area. The staff greet you on arrival with a smile, warm and friendly.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two lovely nights. We were very pleasantly surprised by the size of our room and were impressed by the cleanliness and quality of the hotel in general. It is a grand looking hotel, huge and spacious with a pool and gym and marvellous looking banquet rooms. We only ate breakfast at the hotel during our stay there and it was a pleasant experience. We ate out at a couple of the many restaurants in the town centre. I can fully recommend the nearby Thai restaurant where the food was delicious. My one and only complaint is there is no free Wi-Fi. It costs £7 per device per day, which would incur an additional charge of £28 fo both me and my wife. That said though we thought the price of our two night stay was very reasonable and the staff we interacted with were really polite and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Room was very cold amd needed to soeak to hotel staff to het heating sorted. Room was also very noisy with exrernal noise of swimming pool amd spa constant throughout the night. Hotel is in serious need of updating as needed to unplug kettle/tv to ensure we charged our mobile phones. Food in restauramt was ok as was breakfast, however no mixed berries for breakfast. No one on hand for a choice of eggs so left with fried.

Irritating
I use a Powerchair. I found the hotel’s accessibility difficult. The bathroom was not accessible, and I found it difficult to be expected to climb into the shower, which I couldn't. Most accessible bathrooms are the wetroom type. More accessible sockets would also be helpful and the room was quite cold. It felt like the room was thrown together just so they could claim they had ‘an accessible room’ The charge of £7 per day per device is excessive for wifi. I didn't use it. It was also irritating to be expected to negotiate my way from the dining room back to my room to get my wallet/ phone to pay for an orange juice I had with my meal.

Grand old hotel
Was alright, quite noisy early morning with fire doors banging shut. A great lack of plug sockets when we found a near one it wasn't working. This is a grand hotel but cant help feeling the rooms could do with a bit of modernising. Breakfast was good and the staff very accomadating.

Perhaps we were unlucky this time...
It was disappointing. We have been regular guests over the last few years but not sure I'll go back. Room was too hot, no internet in rooms or public areas, bed too uncomfortable - I even slept on the floor on first night - bath small, distance between bath and toilet very small and I cut my thigh on the toilet roll holder. As it drew blood, I decided not to use the sauna for hygiene reasons and it was mentioned that the chlorine in the pool probably wouldn't be too good for me neither. As we had gone mainly for the pool and spa, that was the end of that part of our break. Breakfast was also sometimes chaotic; on the first morning, there were no cups for hot drinks, no glasses for fruit juice, no bowls for fruit or cereal and no plates for cooked breakfast. Of course it can be hard to judge what time guests might want to have breakfast but I don't remember this type of situation before, and on the last night, had to wait over an hour for a bar snacks Margherita pizza. Not sure what type was brought but it wasn't what we ordered and I couldn't eat it, it tasted of marmite.
