Great location, in need of some tlc! The staff and food are amazing! Why more people were not eating there is surprising as the food is excellent. The staff were all really friendly and accommodating and great with our dog. The bed was really comfortable and the bedding really fresh and crisp. What let it down is the room's bathroom (7) needed a serious upgrade and from reading reviews this has been commented on for at least 10 years! The shower was a dribble, there is a rusting old heater in the bathroom plus there is no proper heating in the room. For the price we paid I hoped for better. Otherwise we had a great stay.

The Hotel and it's Staff were an absolute joy. Perfectly located for the Monsal Trail. We were given great directions by the Staff how to get from A 2 B. Our room was spotless and warm. The breakfast on Sunday morning with pots of tea, 1st class. We will visit and stay again.

It was so hot in the room. I do understand that this is down to personal preference.

small bar

Very nice

Wasn’t a big thing but would have liked a quick drink at the bar which seemed to close early.

Excellent location

The decor is outdated and the atmosphere lacking due to simple lighting levels. None of the many fires were lit at any point and given that it was a rainy New Year’s Eve we were slightly disappointed. Having said that had the fires been lit, the big overhead lights turned off and replaced by warm lamps and a few candles we would have chosen to stay at The Monsal Head Hotel for the whole evening. The food and service are wonderful just sadly let down by the outdated decor and lack of festive feel

We loved the location, the dog friendliness, the breakfast was amazing and the staff lovely! 😊

Our room was beautifully clean and comfortable. We felt very welcome and received excellent service throughout our stay. We enjoyed our cooked breakfast and evening meals.

Can't really fault much to be honest. The security light in the bedroom was annoying, as it glowed green at night, so take an eye mask if this kind of thing irritates you and disrupts your sleep. The TV would also benefit from being wall mounted, rather than on a cabinet at the bottom of the bed, so you can see it better. However these are very minor issues and didn't spoil our stay

A very nice place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean, fresh and modern. The location was perfect, right at Monsal Head. We stayed in the depths of winter but can imagine the adjacent area outside would be busier with tourists if you stayed in the summer months. Breakfast was excellent and we also had dinner in the evening too, which was also top notch. Real easy access to the Monsal Trail and overall a really good place and we recommend it

Location and size of room

Rooms at front have breathtaking views but need more soundproofing.

This hotel has amazing views and is close to the Monsal trail and Bakewell. We were there during Storm Babet and the staff were wonderful despite the atrocious weather.

Worst was the smell through reception and up the stairs. The breakfast room was nicely decorated, clean and bright, but spoiled a bit by the stacks of towels and cleaning materials in the corner ‘bar’ area. We were a bit out off by the outside of the property as it looks rather tired

The food was great, the staff were lovely and it was a good location.
