4.3 / 5 4.3 / 5 Anonymous on 10/11/2009 (Mature couple)

Lovely setting, good restaurant [although limited menu], numerous intimate lounges. Reception staff very helpful and attentive. Restaurant service excellent.

We dined in the bar on the first night and the kitchen closed during our meal, and so we were unable to finish our meal! When we queried this with the bar manager he just smiled politely and disappeared.

Overall: Maybe it was the time of year, but the hotel felt very flat, and although the reception staff were welcoming, there didn't feel there was any 'warmth' in the hotel.  (108599318)

Clean, well-appointed room; Excellent location; 4-poster bed unexpected surprise; excellent set price evening meal; free admission to Chatsworth House as part of 2-night package. Knowledgable and friendly staff.

There were no bad points.

Overall: Did what it said on the tin - a relaxing break on the edge of the peak district. Provided a pleasant base for visiting the local landmarks.  (108526653)

Bar food disappointing.

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
