Breakfast was very good with good choice of food and well prepared meals. The dinners we had there (2) were also of high quality. The location was superb with climbable peaks on our doorstep.

The bed was not particularly comfortable but bearable. There was the unfortunate banging of a kitchen door. Our room was directly above the kitchen and at dinner times the constant banging of this door was noisy and reverberated and shook our room. We did report this to duty manager and he said he would look into it. He reported back to us but unfortunately it was not something that could be rectified before the end of our stay.

Fabulous location, beautiful and quiet. Room was quite spacious with comfortable bed and lovely views. Hotel was warm and cosy (we were there during Storm Pia). Dinner was excellent and staff attentive and very helpful.

The lighting in the dining room is bland. The dinner was excellent, but small lights or candles on the table would really enhance the dining experience.

Beautiful location, wonderful staff, very accommodating and very comfortable and we got Engaged here so it will hold a special place in our hearts!

Hmm, well there wasn't really anything bad per se I will admit the food was a little steep but then it was also very delicious. I will say this though despite all the other wonderful things about it what made us feel most special was when the staff were really friendly and kind to us I should encourage the staff to continue to uphold this as their most important value going forward so they may continue to make their guests feel as special as they did for us

We were met by Chris ( the manager), and we mentioned to him that we first stayed at the Izzak Walton Hotel in 1993 and this was an anniversary trip to celebrate this. Chris could not do enough to make our stay very special. We have to say the whole team were exceptional in how they looked after us during our stay here. Also a special mention to Salim who looked after us during breakfast 👍👏. The hotel is in a perfect location for some beautiful walks and a great place to get away for some quiet time. We'll done to the whole team 👍👏 from Danielle and John.

The Izaac Walton Hotel is a beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Our rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Meals were all excellent. The only criticism was the fact that there were no bar meals. This was because the chef had left and a new one only took up residence the day we arrived. Most of the staff seemed to be fairly new or arriving whilst we stayed there. Notwithstanding this fact all staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant. The one face we knew from our stay 3 years ago was Sue in the restaurant so it was lovely to have a catch up with her. My family and I do hope that the management can get their staffing problems resolved as it is a beautiful hotel.

Lack of bar meals this time

Very friendly and helpful staff . Comfortable room and wonderful location The food was especially good.

There seemed to be a problem with the shower hot water on one occasion. We reported this and hope it will be resolved for whoever stays in the room next.

Location was absolutely perfect for Dovedale & Ilam, views from room amazing. Breakfast could have been better, one flask of hot water for tea for guests to use, teapots would have been a much better choice, filter coffee only, maybe invest in a coffee machine ? Basic cereal, ok but offer of some either dried fruit or fresh fruits to accompany. Cooked breakfast in heated pans, nothing wrong with that but fried eggs not so great at sitting!! Just a few basic things in the hotel to make it an overall good experience. Tea tray in room, not replenished daily, asked for milk on reception, no cartons so a jug of fresh milk given but where do you store it as no fridge in room. As I said, a few minor changes needed and it’s a beautiful place overall

The location is perfect for walking. Not far from the Tissington Trail and mountain walks and the Stepping Stones are on the doorstep. Lots of parking available. The room was very spacious with a lovely big bed and clean bathroom. We paid for a mountain view room which it was to some extent. If you looked towards the left out of the left window there was a great view of the mountains but if you looked out of the right window it was the hotel building. It was lovely to lay in bed in the morning and watch the sheep grazing. Breakfast was included, which was great to fill up for another day's walking. The staff are very attentive and there if you need them. Would definitely book again.

The bar and lounge could be signposted from reception. We weren't sure where to go for our evening meal, but we just asked and got there in the end. Could do with more Yorkshire Tea provided in the rooms. Two teabags not nearly enough!

Ignore the negative reviews! If you are expecting modern decor and and no signs of age then simply choose somewhere else. This place is stunning! Yes there are areas that need repair, yes it is quite dated but for me that's the charm of the place. I would choose staying here over a soul less modern building any day. Spacious, clean, quirky room which met our needs completely. Will definitely return in the summer.

Could use abit of lighting in the car park for the dark nights.

Superb location in the Peak District. Friendly staff. Comfortable lounges. Good bar. Relaxing restaurant - a small menu but good food, well cooked and served hot
