Really lovely room, set away from the pub. A band playing on Saturday night, and couldn't hear them from my room. Staff lovely, as we're the regulars who I got chatting to when I popped into the pub for a drink. Thanks for a great stay

Room clean, bathroom a bit small (room 10). Staff friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the entertainment - which is why we chose this hotel at weekends.

Lovely clean room & very little noise from the pub, which was absolutely rocking, on Saturday night.
Helpful & friendly staff (who also sorted the heating for us).
My Mum had the ground floor ‘accessible’ room as she has trouble with stairs & that’s AMAZING.
It’s a great spot to access the town: love Buxton.
Our second time there & will be returning.

Great venue with live Music at the weekend
A lovely hotel which is masked by a traditional pub frontage. The rooms which are at the back of the pub in a purpose built buildings are spacious and clean. The pub has great live bands on every Friday and Saturday evenings.
