Front rooms have lake view but our side room had a lovely tree view. Can't imagine there is a bad room in the house. Great for a stroll in the morning around the lake before breakfast. Walking distance to everything in Buxton! (We particularly liked Simply Thai for dinner - about a 5-7 minute walk from Roseleigh.) The breakfast and our hosts helpful information really made the stay extra special. Parking is available but it's a tight fit. Probably best to let your passenger out before parking so no one has to scramble through shrubbery. I would absolutely stay here again!

Much has obviously been done to keep the old place in a good state. The decorations are in a good condition and there are nice carpets throughout. It is beautiful inside as well as outside. The bedroom was very good, not luxurious but comfortable, clean, and had all the expected amenities The small bathroom was excellent and the shower worked perfectly. Some things let the place down. I had to wait 15 minutes to check in, in a long queue. The Wi-Fi is free only in the reception and restaurant area, but in the bedrooms you have to pay quite a lot for Wi-Fi. The lift works but is slow and has eccentricities in operation that you need to learn. The hotel boasts a good swimming pool with a tiny sauna and steam room attached, but this too is not free to hotel guests unless booked as an extra in advance. Breakfast was self-service and plentiful but the coffee was from a machine. Unfortunately although the restaurant wasn't at all full things like juice, brown bread, or cooked breakfast ingredients kept running out and staff could not keep up with replenishment. In fairness I got a good deal to stay there and I would stay there again, but a bit more management attention to detail wouldn't go amiss.

We stayed in the UK for two weeks and visited about 10 hotels and this was the only one where we had a really good sized room. It was huge. We felt like royalty staying there. Beautiful. The only thing to be aware of is they lock the doors at night and if you lose your entry code and can't figure out how to make an international call on a US cellphone, you will have to wait for other guests who are out partying late to open the door for you. Don't ask how I know all of that. :-) Wonderful hotel. Definitely one of the best of our trip.

The automated check-in at the door was a very nice touch, as was the HDMI port in the room. (We ran out to buy an HDMI cable at a nearby electronics store so that we could watch movies from our laptop -- pro tip, bring your own if you want to do the same!) We ate the full English breakfast buffet, which was reasonably priced and pretty good quality for a hotel buffet breakfast. I also have to give kudos to the staff. When we initially checked in, our room was one side of a family suite, and there was a family with small children staying on the other side. While they were not being overly loud, every little noise was audible through the connecting door. We went downstairs and requested a new room if possible, and the check-in clerk was quick and professional about finding us a new room that was not part of a suite. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. It was the quality of service I'd honestly expect from a much more expensive hotel. Highly recommended if you happen to be traveling through the Buxton area.
