What a fantastic place to stay! I went to this fantastic hotel for a work trip. I was totally…read moremesmerized to stay in a really old British 'castle like' place. Shortly after I arrived, my coworker told me that the place used to be a mental institution/hospital. I'm not sure how you'd react to that, but I kind of loved it and spent my free working minutes on the web, trying to learn about potentially haunted rooms and ghosts of ol' crazy people. Unfortunately, no paranormal activities at this facility. So instead, I spent my evening in the gym facility, took a spin course, and sweat my butt off. The next day I tried the swimming pool and sauna as well. I was also really pleasantly surprised that the locker rooms were equipped with fantastic hair dryers ... AND ... GHD hair straighteners. Those babies cost a couple hundred euros a piece! The lunch menu on the first day included meat and chilli beans, as well as salmon.. and then of course, some salad and lots of desert. I tried the salmon with chili beans and overdosed on proteins. So so so good. The salmon was really fresh. I ended up ordering salmon for dinner as well. The quality of the food there was really fantastic. So the reason I am giving it 4 stars, instead of 5 is because it was just cold and chilly in there. The front door was kept frequently open and I think the windows aren't properly isolated, so when the temperature drops outside, you feel it right away inside. Other than that - definitely recommended. About 35 minutes from the Manchester Airpoint (36 Pound trip by cab). Give it a try!

It's only 30 mins drive from Manchester airport but ring the hotel direct and they will give you the number for a local hackney firm they use. £40 vrs £70. More beer money for me! P.S. Hackney firm are excellent and picked us up in a brand new Toyota Avensis estate. I digress. Arrived at the hotel which is situated on its own 20 acres grounds and it is a Grade II listed building. Very nice setting. It was a Monday afternoon and the reception staff were all older ladies. Unusual but you knew they knew their stuff. Being Irish we asked when did the bar close? (We have been stung before with venues like this and the bar closing early) and to our great surprise she tells us and I quote "The bar closes when you stop drinking". Hallelujah, did she realise the trouble that was going to be in store.... Now now, we did behave ourselves I promise. P.S. This used to be a mental asylum you know! Decor very tasteful and well appointed. A small bit of a labyrinth but you get to were you are going to in nice surroundings. Room has all the 4 star mod cons, room key is a funny plastic card with holes in that you leave in the lock to open. Requested an Iron and board and had them within 5 mins. Bar nice and spacious. Best thing ever was the free american pool table but had UK sized balls, better than that was the garden sized connect 4 set!! Hours of fun for all the guys at the conference. We had teams from the UK, Ireland and Holland. A great night. Bar food really nice and prices not bad either. I'd recommend the burger with bacon and cheese served with great fries and coleslaw all on a wooden chopping board (they must have broken all the plates, ha ha ). Bar staff during the next day were hard to find and slow but that's because I'm used to Irish bar/pubs speeds. If your slow in Ireland you go out of business fast! Great conference facilities and little touches like bowls of sweets (Drumsticks, Fruit Salad and Love Hearts) during the intervals make all the difference. Breakfast & Lunch in the main restaurant was really good with a large choice. All buffet style but it just meant you got more of what you liked. Nice touch is the area between the bar and main restaurant with a free coffee/tea station and bowls of more sweets, apples, bags of crisps etc. These guys know how to look after a business conference. Will be pushing for more training and conferences here.

I was slightly surprised the sheer amount of noise that was caused by simple rain in the room but that was a minor thing in comparison with the bed which I assume was designed by the Spanish Inquisition. I have seriously not ever known anything like it. I slept on the floor as it was far more comfortable. After this, I asked to be switched to another room on the ground floor. The bed was tolerable but the attitude of the hotel owners was not. Oh, you want to decide for yourselves where things go? Nope, everything I wanted was moved on a daily basis. Yes, the hotel is pretty cheap (though not the cheapest in Buxton) but nothing on Earth would make me consider going back to this depressing hole.

Hotels you have to book separate rooms and there aren't many places of that size on Air BnB. Stayed here with a group of friends on a Saturday night in Manchester, in a 6-bed family apartment- costs £350 which works out at roughly £58 per person. There's a £100 security deposit which you get back at the end. It was absolutely massive: huge living and dining area, fully equipped kitchen, two huge bedrooms and two separate bathrooms. Everything with modern furnishings, and the building has plenty of character with exposed brick and concrete pillars. Location is super convenient for a night out-right round the corner from Piccadilly station with plenty of shops close by if you want to do grocery shopping. The apartment came with a free carton of milk- would be nice to have some oil for cooking as a bit annoying having to buy that stuff if you're only there the one night. Check-in and check-out were pretty quick. A few people on hen and stag dos in the lobby. Saw a girl vomiting on herself in the reception area which wasn't very nice, but her friends and staff were doing their best to clean her up and sort it out. There's a bar area downstairs where people were watching the football-I believe there's a gym too but I didn't have the chance to check it out. The apartment was big enough to hold waaaay more than 6 people. However, if you're thinking of trying to make it cheaper by splitting the cost between more people, this isn't that easy. They take down the names of all the people staying in the apartment, and when you come back in at 3am after a night on the tiles, they will do a head count and take your names. All in all a great place for large groups needing somewhere comfy and convenient to stay in town. Recommend.

There are two entrances, one directly on the street and one at the side. Our event was in the room directly as you go in the side entrance. It was a great sized room and from memory I think she said it can hold 100 people for a dinner. We had a tour of the apartments and it's a really great building with trees inside. A really good space. The apartments themselves are really spacious and would be ideal for a weekend away. I doubt I'll ever stay since I'm down the road but would recommend to others. The food was served Buffett style and was really good - an Xmas dinner and dessert. The turkey was as nice as Turkey is (I'm not a massive turkey fan but I do eat it at this time of year) and the trimmings were really great , especially the parsnips and stuffing. Dessert was mince pies and chocolate cake, both were delicious. I'd never thought of eating here before but I will definitely be back as if the food is that nice for a mass event then it must be great when going for a meal. Oh also nearly forgot to say. They also do weddings in case anyone is looking for a venue.

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!
