If you book in advance this hotel is very reasonably priced however bear in mind on the day this can be much more expensive. On the board they advertised the rooms as £29 but a double room was actually £65 at the desk. Lucky we booked in advance so it was very reasonably priced. There is nothing particularly special about this hotel, it is very clean, but facilities are limited. The room was warm, the walk in the shower worked perfectly and we had no problem with the room booking in and out was really easy and the staff were very friendly. The buffet breakfast is okay, but to be honest I would suggest going into town for a more interesting option.

The hotel is family-run which really shows as you're made very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. We arrived on a Sunday lunchtime, and though all the restaurant tables were full and bar food isn't usually served at that time, they were happy to squeeze us into a corner and we had a wonderful lunch. Batemans doesn't do food on a Sunday evening, but provided us with a comprehensive printed list of alternatives complete with directions and guide prices. The hotel only has 8 rooms so feels like staying in a family home and never feels crowded. The building is (as you'd expect from the name) a converted mill and has been sensitively converted into a hotel. Breakfasts were enormous and really set us up for a day's walking in the Peak District. We didn't need to eat lunch at all during our stay and looked forward to Bateman's wonderful food in the evenings. The accommodation and food were very reasonably priced, and the whole experience was great.

Bed was comfortable enough and would have been satisfactory if the other guests were quieter or better sound proofing. Breakfast was okay but the cutlery had water stains and glassware didn't look clean. Hotel is centrally located and you are with in walking distance of a gym, shops and theatre.
