    The location was great. Rooms were basic but well laid out with useful extras. Staff were friendly and met requests such as a late check in. Water pressure was amazing in the shower. We'd come for a local trail race and it was close to the start...

    excellent, comfy bed and great cell location. Parking in bakewell is a nightmare and you may have to park in the all day car park before moving to an overnight one later on

    Lovely pretty room. Amazing array of tea, coffee, biscuits, cereal bars. Couldn’t have been more central. Shame food orders stop at 7.30 pm or we would have eaten here too!
