艾薩克沃爾頓酒店(The Izaak Walton Country House Hotel)

Though in need of some updating the hotel was very clean and we were greeted by extremely polite, friendly and helpful staff. The location of the hotel and surrounding area is absolutely stunning. I feel bad but unfortunately I can’t give top marks because the spa bath in our bathroom was not working which was very disappointing as I was so looking forward to using it, so had to settle for a regular bath instead. My husband and I decided to booked the restaurant for our evening meal. I couldn’t fault my meal, from start to finish it was delicious however my husband didn’t share the same opinion which is such a shame. The view from our room was spectacular, looking out onto huge hills, cows and sheep. Simply breathtaking!

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The decor in the hotel is slightly dated. The location is absolutely fantastic, it is set in such beautiful surroundings and we had great views from our room. It was wonderful to be able to walk to the Stepping Stones. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel, there was plenty of choice in the menu and my food was tasty, but my partner said his dinner was slightly overcooked.

Room was clean and very comfortable. Excellent bed so slept well. Large bathroom with good shower but toilet flush was very noisy. Food was excellent and we ate in both restaurant and bar. Menu was perhaps a little limited if staying for a week. Views from hotel were amazing and grounds beautiful. Did get busy on sunny days with day trippers. Staff all friendly and polite. Would have liked assistance with carrying suitcases upstairs but maybe we needed to ask. There is no lift. Would highly recommend a stay here.

The property had character and is reasonably well maintained. The grounds are clean and nicely kept. The interior decor was sympathetic to the old-world charm and tastefully done. The restaurant and bar food were very good and well presented, the staff were friendly and eager to please. The hotel is well situated and within the Derbyshire Peak District, so very pretty surroundings with stunning scenery. We had an enjoyable stay over Valentine weekend which was very busy. Staffing level was low and we often had to wait for service at the bar or reception. Overall, a comfortable stay and would return in the future.

The location is wonderful, it’s peaceful and beautiful and well worth a visit, The hotel not so good. The service was a bit hit and miss, the barman forgot our drinks and charged us incorrectly. The breakfast waitress was very nice but we didn’t have the most warm welcome. We felt we were a bit of an inconvenience needing to be served, sort of sit down and wait type of attitude. It could easily be rectified with a little more training, a friendly greeting goes a long way. The food was expensive, and nothing special, a bit disappointing. (Egg on toast for breakfast, with no butter on the toast which I felt a bit strange.) The hotel needs an injection of cash to update it, the toilet doesn’t flush properly, the windows rattle, there was a large water stain on the wallpaper, all in all very tired. We had been looking forward to our visit but sadly it didn’t live up to our expectations.

This property is 1st class, staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. Rooms are spotless and we enjoyed the wonderful hill views. We'll be visiting again next time we're in the Peaks

The staff, food and service were excellent. The hotel is a little tired in places, our room was comfortable and clean, the shower and taps useless.
