We were 2 couples traveling for. Spa break, Booked the hotel specifically for the Spa facilities. We were upgraded on the rooms. One was brilliant one was poor and totally different. We booked together so why weren’t they the same. Hotel said it’s because Expedia didn’t tell them it was a joint booking. When to the spa. No treatments available. Pool was 17c so very cold and not really usable. Pools normally 26-28c. (We were given no prior notice of this) No hot tub as advertised. Hotel blamed Expedia for this being advertised. Also said they charge £6 per day for Spa use. This was not advertised on Expedia. Rooms at night like very hot like saunas. Hotel said they couldn’t control this but we could turn down temp in rooms. We did this but it was still hot even with window open. Heat was coming from hotel somewhere else. We made the most of our time there by changing our trip and going off the day we were going to use the spa treatments. Only one of us had a treatment the other cancelled as felt that because she couldn’t use the facilities it wasn’t worth doing. Spoke to the operations manager Regan on leaving with these points and others and he wrote them down and I asked for feedback on why we experienced this. As of writing this 4 days after I have no callback. I even chased and a person was going to send him a message and no reply. It seems the management don’t care about issues here. I could go on but don’t have enough character left to write it. poor, poor, poor.

The outside was phenomenal. Loved it. Inside was back in the 1800s and old fashioned. The pool was cold. Breakfast wasn’t the best with the hot chocolate empty. Toaster was slow and not working properly. Nice staff in the hotel though

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.
