Mixed Feelings at Old Hall Hotel, Buxton.
We were staying for 2 nights as a birthday treat for me. The hotel is one of the oldest in the country I believe, so a little allowance for age was important. Our Family Room no. 22 was massive and very comfortable and pleasant. There were snags though eg. Vinyl split in bathroom floor, radiator didn't work in bathroom. Horrendously bright LED street light outside the window making it hard to sleep as there are only shutter blinds on the window - no curtains!
Overall, we liked the room and the bed was comfy but the pillows were terrible! 4 x flat, hard pillows....even in a Travelodge, you get a choice of firm or soft.
The location is great. Right next to the beautiful Pavillion gardens and Opera House...so central but still peaceful.
And I wouldn't fault the breakfast staff and provision - they were happy to provide veggie sausages for us vegetarians. And everything was well cooked and tasty.
All in all, it was a mixed reaction. In the front lounge somebody had done an amazing Christmas decor complete with a Muppet themed tree! But elsewhere, dirty front entrance with wallpaper peeling off the ceiling......and you'd have to pay me to use the scary ancient lift again!!!
I was also disappointed that in spite of my partner informing a number of staff about my birthday.....nobody made any special gesture - no free drink or anything. Thought that was a bit mean.....
There's character and shabby chic,and then there's tired and needing work.....The Old Hall felt like the latter
