Located in the centre of the Peak District the hotel provided excellent access to all the park has to offer. Personalised parking is provided and excellent communication from the hotel made finding the hotel easy. Our room was very comfortable with a beautiful bathroom with all the ‘extras’ included. The bed was very cosy and had we no trouble sleeping. The restaurant too was first class. Breakfasts were both plentiful and very well cooked and presented. Evening dinner was similarly excellent. This is not a cheap hotel, however you get what you pay for and we were very satisfied.The staff here were lovely and very helpful in all ways. We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights here and could not think of anything to have improved our stay.

Nothing

Beautiful hotel! Rooms spotless, beds actually comfortable, even my daughter's camp bed! Loved the bathroom with the stand-alone bath; powerful shower too. Just strange that out room had no window, just a remote-controlled skylight with blind. The restaurant was beautiful also, as was the food. We were even offered at complimentary drink each! Breakfast was also of a high standard and plenty to choose from; all table service. Overall, we had a fantastic stay in this little "Mecca" in the middle of nowhere! Thank you to all! Would definitely recommend.

The food service was extremely slow. We waited an hour between stater and main courses. It then took a half an hour to get one coffee afterwards, then the bill.

We had such a lovely stay at the Merchants Yard, celebrating my friends 40th, everything was just right. The accommodation was beautiful and very comfortable with everything you would need. It looked like it had been newly renovated and was spotlessly clean. The staff were fantastic, really welcoming and helpful. From the start with booking they were in contact with us ensuring that we had everything we needed for our upcoming stay. We had afternoon tea on arrival which was delicious, everything was freshly made, and there was just the right amount. We then had the tasting menu in the evening which once again was perfectly cooked and delicious. Breakfast was also really nice with real sausages and bacon and a decent portion. Couldn't fault anything, thank you for a lovely stay.

Nothing everything was perfect!

Loved the decor, very comfy, there were nice small touches such as offering local branded toiletries to sample and a thoughtfully stocked mini bar. The food was great and the location was perfect for what we were looking for. Very clean and would definitely stay again.

Upon check in we were greeted by the management team and staff at reception but during our two night stay that was the only time we saw them. During the breakfast service there was only one front of house staff on each morning and they had to seat, take orders and deliver breakfast but were quite overwhelmed having to rush about with more than one table seated at the same time. Service was unfortunately slow, things were forgotten and toast was served cold as a result. Not the fault of the staff as they were doing their best in the circumstances, but it was clear the restaurant needed a manager/front of house to support. Some rooms do not have windows, only skylights so although well decorated can feel a bit closed in.

We absolutely loved The Merchant's Yard from the moment we arrived! we had been allocated a parking space and as soon as we walked into the building, the staff were super friendly and professional and the building oozed quality. we stayed in room 6, a beautiful , spacious and well appointed room , full of quality touches. we dined in the restaurant and the food didn't disappoint. good variety of choices on the menu, breakfast of equal quality and the gentleman serving breakfast was lovely also. We like it so much, my partner wanted to book second night but as it was sadly booked up, it's just leaves an excuse to go back!

nothing.

We had a fantastic stay - the room and the entire hotel was amazing, beautifully decorated and with lots of seating areas to chill or work in. Joe managed our stay really well, organising everything we needed for a late check-in. All staff were great, the food in the restaurant was really really good and definitely not on the expensive side. Breakfast was varied and really yummy, and again the service was great. We really loved staying here and are already planning on coming back next year!

Nothing!

The location was great, the room was exceptional and the bed was very comfy, loved the black out blinds enabled us to sleep better and the whole place was so immaculate, the bath was just what we needed, the dressing gowns and the fudge was a great addition. Room very well equipped with shampoo and body lotion and really nice shower pot.

Breakfast - the French toast was under cooked and I didn’t get the blueberry compote, the English breakfast didn’t come with toast, there wasn’t any sweeteners to hand, minor things

Very welcoming. Had all our requirements. Food was lovely as were the staff. Important personal touches helping you feel valued customers. For example, names by car parking space, complimentary drinks, chocolates in room, settings for breakfast, waiter service for breakfast, guest night for restaurant meal. Gordon, the breakfast waiter, provided exceptional service; nothing was too much trouble for him.

Only point was bathroom not cleaned daily.

A really lovely place to stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I hadn't stayed at a 'restaurant with rooms' before so wasn't quite sure what to expect. The room was large, very comfortable and had all the facilities we needed plus a few nice little welcome touches. The Velux window controls take a bit of getting used to and there are no windows to see out of but then there wouldn't be a view so it's no biggie. There is an allocated parking space on arrival with an electric charger if needed. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Food is rather good too! We had the tasting menu one night and the Sunday roast is truly among the best I have ever had.

At the moment, the restaurant doesn't open on a Monday and that seems to be a common theme across the village and wider area but apparently that is being reviewed at the moment and may change. When the only other thing I can think of is that the pump action soap wasn't that great at dispensing you know there aren't really any negatives.

A modern twist on a former builders / engineers merchant's yard. The hotel has been sympathetically created while retaining some of the features and character of the old building, including a fascinating collection of old catalogues and brochures from times gone by. The food was great and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you all for making our trip to The Peak District so enjoyable - we look forward to seeing you again before too long.
