We did not stay at the hotel so cannot comment on the hotel itself. However on the way to Dovedale, we clearly saw a big sign, saying barlunches.drinks etc. After a glorious walk, we went up to the hotel at about 315pm. The service was surly, the place looked 'dead', we were told by a barman that the chef had... More

stayed at Izaak Walton Hotel for4 nights lovely location. Room was nice, staff generally very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately the hotel has only one disabled parking space and the car park is quite a way from the hotel. My husband has had a stroke therefore cannot walk very far - and the owner of a Jaguar was parked in the... More

This was our first Groupon getaway deal and we were pleasantly surprised. This hotel has the finest views of any we have stayed in (UK only). The hotel itself is slightly dated but it is clean and extremely comfortable without any of the pretentiousness that can be found in more modern hotels. The staff are friendly, helpful and very courteous.... More

Stayed over for two nights as part of a Groupon deal. Venue of this hotel is fantastic, you can't beat looking out over Thorpe cloud as you eat your breakfast and the Stepping Stones are a short walk away. Hotel is a bit dated but very charming and very olde worlde. Try the two comfy old chairs next to the... More

We visited this hotel after purchasing a deal on Groupon. The food was superb but the portions were not large therefore we had to add a starter & desert at a standard price of £9 each even for the tomatoe soup! The hotel was a lovely old building and in general the staff were friendly. In the restaurant they had... More

We went with friends for a weekend so the men could fish and we could visit stately homes. We were a bit worried when we read reviews post booking as there were several bad reviews. We can see where people are coming from, re the decor being dated (its like a set from Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple film) and the... More

The most perfect, tranquil setting possible. Nestled right at the base of Thorpe Cloud. Beautiful gardens and very peaceful. The hotel is charming, quaint and slightly old fashioned. Retaining character, ustilising its many rooms into lounge areas. Beds are the most comfortable that I have ever had. Spa bath in our room a lovely touch. If we had had a... More

Beautiful location. The interior somewhat faded, as might be expected in a building of this age, but quite acceptable. Staff pleasant, although I didn't make great demands on them. The cooked breakfast can only be described as mean: half a mushroom, half a slice of black pudding... More
