Comfortable hotel owned and run by HF holidays for a great if rather muddy holiday .
Food was good, company excellent and room comfortable with bath and shower. Great breakfasts with many options to start the day

comfortable good walks, but very muddy routes. Need good waterproof hiking boots

Excellent location and accommodation. Friendly and efficient staff. Good food, and plenty of choice, well presented and served. Would recommend this hotel to any group, family who are considering this location for a walking holiday…..

A great visit. Excellent location, accommodation, friendly and efficient service. Good choice of meals and well served.

Most  friendly staff and ever so helpful.Evening dinner was of very good quality.Our room had recently been refurbished. Beautiful surrounding countryside.A very good hotel to go guided walking from in the beautiful Peak District.

Great walks hotel.

Stayed here over the Easter weekend on an HF guided tour holiday.  We had a superior room overlooking the gardens. A large, pleasant room with a decent size bathroom (a shower and bath tub). The food is very good as well as the service. The only negative point I have is that they only have a very limited room cleaning. Basically they only wash the coffee mugs and empty the bins. They don’t make the bed or clean drinking glasses. They blame that on lockdown - I fail to see the connection in 2023, unless is just an excuse to save money by employing fewer people.

A charming hotel

It was like staying in a bording school: dinner sharp at 7pm, no breakfast after 9am,
great difficulty persuading them to put extra chairs on our dining tables so that we could all sit together.

Pluss points: very clean, good sized room, comfortable bed and very pleasant stafff.

Too regimented

Run exclusively by the Holiday fellowship. for there   (short) holidays. An old forte hotel on a short lease. The room whilst very clean was still decorated as a forte hotel. Including the sticker about not asking for a bowl change,! Staff and food good, real Ale avalible in bar.  Staff good and welcoming no sign of the nasty employee. Just needs a bit of an update in several areas,

Old Forte Hotel

I stayed here for a two day walking break organised byWalkwise who use HF holiday premises,but provide there own walk leaders. On entering the premises I was intercepted by a lady who rudely told me to put a face mask on but never introduced herself as to who she was and what her role was in the hotel. I immediately obliged and went to check in with the very pleasant gentleman at the reception. I was told I couldn’t check in for another half an hour and could wait in the lounge.I was the only person there. This lady again suddenly appeared and gave me a serious  dressing down about wearing a mask. When I tried to explain that I was the only person there she just kept on at me.i looked at the government website as to guidance re hotels and face masks were not a requirement. I realise that individual establishments can have there own agenda to protect there staff and customers and I am willing to conform to what ever they want me to do,but there are ways to inform people in a pleasant and polite way as first impressions in a hotel should be a priority.  I tried to engage with this lady and asked what her role was in the hotel at which point   She just shouted at me that I’m not talking to you and ignored me. I found this outrageous behavior for a member of staff. I later found out later that this rude ladies name was Sandy and other members of our party had experienced the same abuse. I have to say that the hotel was very nice and all the other staff were absolutely fine and obliging . The room and facilities were first class,and all the food and service  in the restaurant  fantastic. The packed lunches were also a bonus,in all a pleasant vacation.



Walking break

I came here many many years ago when I worked for trust house forte and stayed many times in those days it's sister hotels were. The Palace at Buxton and the new bath hotel all forte heritage. I was very pleased to see it had exactly the same atmosphere as then and that it was still as beautiful we both enjoyed our stay and the way we were looked after I love dovedale anyway but it was a nostalgia trip for me well worth visiting and worthy of the good reviews it gets both of us  recomend highly 

Lovely old charm hotel worthy of Sir Walter Scott 

Friendly, friendly staff, top cold lager (Moretti) and the food (chicken burger and steak sandwich was SO tasty that I feel guilty having had lunch eleswhere yesterday!! Highly recommend! Cheers, we will definitely be back and telling friends to come for lunch here 🍺

Best chicken burger I’ve ever had

Usefully situated on the edge of the Peak District. Run by HF. 
Rather tired building, decor and furniture but the rooms are adequate. The views from the windows are spectacular. However the staff are wonderful and can't do enough for you. The food is delicious, varied and excitingly 'different'.  All served by the lovely staff. Adaptations for Covid 19 are sensible and adequate. 
Strongly recommend.
