Old Hall Hotel

"Despite the building’s age and few quirky things like the lift we thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay. Well maintained, comfortable beds and large room. Food was delicious , very good value and beautifully presented. Lovely to have ‘linens’ in the dining room."

Rooms at the Vault

8/10 Good
"Our room at The Vault was spacious but cosy. Decorated nicely and the bathroom with the walk in shower was nice and modern. We were warned of there being night life below and it was indeed very loud with constant booming music and rowdy people outside. This was from 9pm til 2am, we didn't mind as it was a Friday night so to be expected in the town centre, we watched a film on the Tv in the room from the comfy bed."

"The house is about 15 minutes walk from the train station in a quiet area. It took a couple of goes to gain entry using the touchpad. The room was clean and a good size. Bed was comfortable, although quite high. There is a good cafe, Eat at Number 5, at the end of the street."

10/10 Excellent
"Before we arrived, Bethan & James messaged us with details of the flat and a local guide to the area which was really appreciated! Once we had arrived they also checked in on us to make sure everything was okay which made us feel really welcome. Communication was smooth and quick. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and felt really homely. There was basic amenities like tea, coffee, cling film, toiletries, ice which came in very handy! The location was walking distance to town, caverns and Pavilion Gardens. Would definitely recommend this flat and their lovely hosts to anybody wanting to explore the Peak District. "

"Some points of action for the ownersMust spell out entry is at first floor level, living area and kitchen plus two bedrooms located lower floor - not ideal for elderly couple within our group Cinema projector and tv in lounge need to be able to work independently - at present both show same programmePool superb but pool plant very noisy to adjacent ground floor bedroom through the night, suggest better insulation On initial view looks clean but could do with a good deep clean - cobwebs covered in dust - under beds dusty needed a clean, great location would use again but maybe without great grand parents"
