I had an unforgettable holiday at this hotel in the Peak District. The organization of walking activities was excellent, and the evening entertainment added a lot of fun to our stay. The food was a highlight, being both wholesome and creatively presented. However, while the views were breathtaking, the building itself felt somewhat dated and could use some updates.
