The overnight break we had at the hotel was to celebrate our anniversary. The food in the restaurant was first rate, as was the service and the ambiance of the hotel. Unfortunately, the sleep quality in Room 37 was terrible. The mattress was very uncomfortable and the pillows were inadequate. You couldn't sleep in one position for too long before... More

Went recently for a weekend break. Standard room as it was a last minute idea. The hotel has a lot of character, the room was comfortable with en suite bathroom and a view of the Pavilion Gardens. The floor sloped a bit but then the hotel does date back to the 1500's. The award the hotel won for good breakfasts... More

Situated in the picturesque centre of the town, the Old Hall Hotel is not a luxury hotel but has bags of history and character.It is opposite the Pavilion Gardens and close to the old spa baths (due for renovation) and Palace Theatre. We had a very comfortable and warm stay (the snow was coming down outside in The Square). Food... More

Stayed for one night at the Old Hall in Buxton. I have to stay I am a fan of luxury modern hotels (with a spa is even better!), but this gem of a hotel really changed my mind. It has a really lovely atmosphere, and the rooms are just great. I had a double room, which had lots of space.... More

We were offered the room 'Mary's Bower' for a special price (74 quid) as it was mid-winter and mid-week. This was a fantastic deal and we thoroughly enjoyed our night in this beautiful and historic room. The hotel itself is slightly tatty but not too bad, and overall very charming, and its location is as good as it gets for... More

Please note - this review is only of the Wine Bar. Had a meal in the Wine Bar with high hopes, having read the reviews. Pork was dry and very overcooked and the burger was worse than any high street takeaway, plate was bulked out with a huge bread roll and mostly red onion salad. Was not asked during the... More

Having read your review several times, I would firstly like to apologise that your expereince in our Wine Bar was not a positive one. For a person passionate in the industry I obviously really dislike hearing that our customers are dissatisfied. Our Buffalo burgers are sourced from a reputable supplier in Chesterfield and I can only apologise that on this... More

A very enjoyable visit to The Opera House on 8/01/2012 was crowned by a night at the Old Hall. The whole experience was so much more pleasurable than the large corporate Hotel chains. This was true from booking over the phone to the welcome we received on Sunday evening right through to the excellent breakfast and departure on Monday. One... More

I booked a one night b&b stay for my husband and I as we were attending a concert and dinner at the Opera House. The hotel was busy with a wedding and their own New Year's eve party; however, the staff made us very welcome and were friendly, courteous and helpful. We had a very comfortable night and delicious breakfast... More
