Beautiful
Pros:

Stayed multiple times and always enjoy it, from the room, the staff, food and the stunning grounds.
We had our room upgraded to an attic room as I didn’t like the small room I had paid for, I didn’t expect that but was completely grateful.

Cons:

N/a

Came for a friends wedding, fell in love with the property and thoroughly enjoyed our time.
Pros:

Gorgeous location with a storied history. Has modern updates to it but the halls still have the old world style to them. Has the quirks of a property that old with the layout that can make finding things an adventure.

Cons:

The maze like layout, some places need more fixing up but it is a volunteer effort to keep up with repairs.

Weekend stay.
Pros:

Room was quiet, bathroom was great! Lovely shower.

Cons:

Bed was a small double so not a great nights sleep. Window in bathroom had a broken latch so no way to secure it or the room. After leaving the hotel, I realised that I had accidentally left my phone charger in the room. I was reassured during a follow-up phone call that the charger had been found and would be kept safely in a drawer at reception until it could be collected.
Follow up: Unfortunately I did not receive my charger back after being advised by a receptionist it had been 'misplaced'.
The hotel Manager contacted me and graciously offered to send me a replacement. Be warned, I was also advised that any items left behind will be given to 'a charity' if not claimed within a certain time frame.

A great place to stay in the heart of the Peak District but don’t expect the grandeur of the exterior to be matched insi
Pros:

Impressive building and great location

Cons:

In serious need of some TLC. Peeling wall paper, unclean carpets, scattered remnants of glasses, bottles, footwear lying around that hadn’t been cleared up. Obviously a highly rated wedding venue, we stayed two nights and there was a wedding on both nights. Other guests seem somewhat overlooked. Breakfast location was disappointing.

It's more of a wedding venue
