Without meaning to go over everything that was said by "Sharpshooter55" I am the person who was getting married and so was staying with my new wife in a four poster suite. When I arrived to check in (2 hours before my wedding) I went to the room that had been allocated to me and found it was not what... more

This is the letter of complaint that i sent to the Beauchief............ "I had the misfortune to stay at the Beaucheif hotel on Saturday night, after attending a wedding at the superior Whirlowbrook hall.The contrast was a striking, the staff,food and the overall ambiance at whirlow were in sharp contrast to my reception at your establishment. On arrival at the... more

Plus points first: welcoming staff, warm, comfortable rooms and well located for touring the Derbyshire Peaks. On Saturday morning we enjoyed an excellent proper Yorkshire breakfast, freshly cooked and cheerfully served Negatives: thsi hotel claims to have a restaurant; it does not, it has a sad collection of early 1980's furniture arranged across a drab set of linked spaces. Portions... more

I stayed here for one nights business travel this week, I was attaracted by the website which showed a beautiful " standard" double bedroom, HUH!! What I got ( in a poorly occupied hotel so no excuse) was a very grim depressing groundfloor room, with old wooden windows with failed double glazing units in, grotty furniture,poor decoration, holes in the... more

We stayed 2 nights at The Beauchief for a family wedding. Our room (119) was generally OK with 2 double beds for my husband, myself and 5-yr-old daughter. The bathroom was very dated with cracked tiles and 70s-style fittings. Despite being a threesome we were only given 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels and one bar of soap! Lucky... more

Hotel was fusty and old school - felt a bit like an old age home or something from the 80s before Britain worked out how to do good hotels and food. Restaurant was practically empty on a weekend night, waiters seemed nice but really couldn't be bothered. Food also a bit 80s and overcooked. Is a lovely building though, feels... more

Have used this hotel for many years. It's position and setting is perfect in every way. Previoys (corporate) owners couldn't care a damn and it showed. New owners are making every effort to make it the first choice again. Old, useless staff have gone and new ones are properly trained - nothing too much trouble. Some visitors don't deserve such... more

Everything about this hotel seemed average. The rooms were starting to look old fashioned, and could have done with a bit of redecorating, but overall fairly average non-descript hotel room. The breakfast buffet had the usual fare of cereal, yoghurt and pastries, but again, the standard was average. Cooked food was good, but the coffee was poor and the service... more

We stayed for three nights. The location is really convenient and allowed us to visit relatives and visit the peak district quite easily (by car). The rooms are comfortable and clean but there were quite a few irritations: 1) room was too warm though radiators were off and we needed to keep windows open through the night ; 2) the... more
