Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff friendly but room very dated and not that clean. Music in the pub on until late so if you are after a quiet night on Saturday don’t book a room here. It’s a locals pub with rooms. Breakfast not included in price which is steep for room only, especially when single occupancy.
The facilities for paying my bill at the Charles Cotton hotel are disgraceful. The paying machine does not work correctly, and resulted in my having my debit card blocked. Very inconcenient.
Nice hotel . Very friendly staff. Overall ok. The only problem we had is we've both come home with a bad back as mattress sank in the middle. So not a brilliant sleep. Also no usb sockets.
We stayed here in 2021 on a little babymoon and loved it so much that we returned for another little babymoon with baby number 2 in 2024. Lovely hotel, very clean and comfortable. The bar/restaurant is really lovely and very well priced.
Had a lovely few nights stay here. Hartington is a pretty little village and is a great central location for lots of lovely walks and attractions. The hotel is very cosy and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are clean, we stayed in the annexe and weren't disappointed at all. Definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you for a great weekend.

Staff very friendly and helpful . Bedding very clean and bed comfortable .👍 Breakfast not so good as the speed it was bought out to us it had obviously been pre cooked and just warmed up and only the egg cooked to order . The whole place is generally run down & tired .. as for the paintwork … we would suggest spec savers for the decorator 🤔. 🙄

Cold bedroom and dining room
Extremely cold room upon arrival and took a while to heat up. 1 small radiator in the bedroom and 1 small radiator in the bathroom and on an extremely cold sub zero snowy weekend in December, these were inadequate to heat up the room to a comfortable level. I was part of a group who had a group dinner, which was poor and the dining room was cold. I wouldn't stay again; it was expensive for what it was.

Xmas walking party
Lovely pub, restaurants and rooms great food and staff, only downside was rooms where a bit cold
We liked the room. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was pleased to see a bath but unfortunately could not adjust from the shower to bath taps so couldn’t fill it! The food was excellent but the drinks let it down badly. Lots of the nice wine was not available and there were only two amber ales. The staff were pleasant. And it’s a great spot in the village.
Had a great stay at the Charles Cotton hotel. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
The weather was amazing but the room was very hot overnight but luckily we had taken our own fan which was a Godsend
We only had breakfast at the hotel which was hot and freshly cooked to order and provided a Gluten Free option for my partner.
All in all a fabulous stay in a historic hotel in a wonderful Peak District village
