    “The Lodge is lovely in a rural location with plenty of scenic views.”

    Very quiet location. Ideal for those who just want a relaxing break away with a nice hot tub to relax in. However, there were a couple of things which I feel could have been better. One was the cleanliness of the lodge, thick dust on top of radiators, loads of cobwebs, which I can understand with it being a lodge there will be some, but a lot of the cobwebs had been there a long time. The jets in the bath looked like they hadn’t been clean properly and around taps in the bathrooms looked ...

    Very quiet location. Ideal for those who just want a relaxing break away with a nice hot tub to relax in. However, there were a couple of things which I feel could have been better. One was the cleanliness of the lodge, thick dust on top of radiators, loads of cobwebs, which I can understand with it being a lodge there will be some, but a lot of the cobwebs had been there a long time. The jets in the bath looked like they hadn’t been clean properly and around taps in the bathrooms looked dirty. The wooden floors were dirty also, although just looking at them you’d think they were clean. The dust was so bad I myself was sneezing constantly, itchy nose and then started with itchy eyes. My friend also had red swollen puffy eyes. When we went outside we were fine again. The bed sheets / throws felt like they hadn’t been washed also, my skin itched when I got in them. The beds were also very hard and the pillows were not that comfortable. On the first night there was heavy rain showers, the following morning we noticed a water stain in the living which we did report to management at the time. When looking round the lodge, it did appear to have a few yellow stains on the roofing of rooms which looked unsightly. I think some stain blocker and some paint over would cover them over and freshen the rooms up a bit. The other thing, which is minor but would have made a difference is that the hot tub has no cover over the roof so you could only enjoy the hot tub when it wasn’t raining. We had a couple of days of rain and it would have been nice to be outside, in the hot tub, looking at the views, listening to the rain. We also couldn’t figure out where the light switch was for the lights around the hot tub area, we turned them all on and nothing. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and quiet, just what we wanted.

Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House - not to be missed!
