Lovely stay. Have been coming here for over ten years. We were greeted by a very friendly young man on reception and lovely chat in the bar area too with the barman and other guests.

Building very large and very old so the upkeep is going to be a challenge. Couldn't turn the heating down or off in the bathroom so it was nuclear hot in the room when we entered. Had to sleep with the old sash window open. Stayed in room 52 which had no lift access, massive bathroom, ceilings really high, not many power sockets for charging your electricals, TV off to the side of the bed in front of the window which made shutting curtains a challenge. You had to pay for wi-fi for each device in the room but it was free in the lobby.

Hotel was ok but after we came back from a night out we found somebody else’s jacket on our bed. Told receptionist who didn’t seem that interested. Woke up in the night to someone trying to enter the room. Told reception in the morning and they are going to look in to it

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.
