Hotel and staff amazing - parking charge for blue badge drop off ruined the experience
Pros:

I live local and had plans to use the Hotel for my parents to stay and visit me. They can not longer stay at my home due to reduced mobility issues and my mum can not use the stairs. The staff were amazing very friendly and so helpful I can not give then enough credit. the room was very clean and the experience with the staff was 10/10.

The main reason I'm writing this review is to warn future guests who are travelling to stay at the hotel with a blue badge. There is a drop off period of 20mins then all guest have to pay for parking even if you display a blue badge. I have received a Parking Charge from parkmaven of £100 because I went over the drop off period by 2:30 min's. despite being the only person available to safety assist both parents with their mobility issues, manage their mobility equipment, and transport their belongings to their room.

I hope the management team will read this, review and change the drop off policy for future guest's. I'm so sorry to the staff who work at this hotel all your hard work has been overshadowed by this private parking company and their disgraceful parking fine. Management team should also have a read of the Equality Act 2010, especially the line about service providers including parking operators acting on behalf of a hotel required to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people and those supporting them.

Coeliac - Gluten free breakfast really nice.
Pros:

We stayed here end of November for one night, for a visit to chatsworth Christmas market.
We had a really good stay, room was clean, bed comfy, although I personally found the pillows uncomfortable on my neck.
The staff were really friendly.
We had breakfast in the morning. I’m coeliac and dairy intolerant so eating out is always a worry. I was given the allergen menu upon asking to have a look at. The girl serving on the counter to book us in for breakfast in the morning said she would wash all my cutlery and plates, and my hot food would be cooked separately. My toast would be cooked under the grill separately also.
The allergen menu was really easy to navigate and read. There were plenty of options for me to eat. Gf cereal, alternative milk, although I took my own almond milk. Hot options, including a vegan sausage (no gf meat sausage) - I’m not vegan, but the vegan sausage was horrid. I had gf bread, and df spread on the buffet area in separate packages.
The food was nice, and I felt safe eating here, so nice that they are very aware of how to deal with coeliac disease and allergies.
I would like to thank the staff, and especially Charlotte who served me on the morning of 26th November. Extremely helpful, and many thanks. As eating out is always really stressful.

Would Recommend
Pros:

Went with two friends and stayed 4 nights. Best part of Premier Inn Buxton - the staff, all very friendly and helpful. Do a good meal deal if you have breakfast and evening meal, well worth it.
Down points, sofas in bar area, could do with replacing or re upholstering. There are some areas that could do with a bit of TLC.

Clean rooms and good service well located next to brewers fayre and near town
Pros:

Arrived in heavy rain, warm reception at book in. Rooms were clean and tidy and quiet and reasonably priced. Able to park car FOC in car park outside hotel. When room ceiling leaked due to heavy rain receptionist very helpful and moved us straight away to adjacent room. Free good Wi-Fi. Ate meal deal in Brewers Fayre next door which was good in value and choice.

Would be wary of returning
Pros:

I thought I'd be writing a good review for this hotel, our accessible room was spacious and clean, with a blissfully comfortable bed.
Unfortunately, we ate dinner there, and breakfast the following morning, and 12 hours after checking out I started with food poisoning symptoms and have been ill since.

Rip off parking system!
Pros:

Stay anywhere else, or be prepared to pay an extra £100 a night for parking. There payment system is designed to trip you up. You have been warned!!

Great hotel and friendly staff
Pros:

I enjoyed my brief stay at this hotel - it's the second time I've stayed. The room was great and the staff very friendly. It's on an estate, so there is a little bit of noise but nothing too bad.

Awesome.
Pros:

Quiet rooms, clean, your usual Premier Inn hotel.

Except - GREAT service and humour - even an offer (tongue in cheek) to cut up my dinner because of a bandage around two of my fingers!

Always good at this location.

Staff are very friendly
Pros:

We come here every year for speedway but now we come to do our Christmas shopping in Cardiff instead since speedway doesnt come here anymore, we always meet family here on the day we arrive so we get to spend time with them as well, tbh i wouldn't stay anywhere else as the staff are lovely and very helpful plus we have started bringing my daughters assistant dog as well which makes it even more enjoyable for her

Charmaine the receptionist is my personal hero! Always make me laugh and feel welcome on arrival and departure
