“The building exudes history, a 200-year-old structure with intriguing architectural details; inside, you'll find rooms blending modern tech with comfort, some boasting underfloor heating and coffee machines. I think its location in Bakewell, with easy access to Peak District attractions, makes it a solid choice for families and couples. For me, the traditional British and European cuisine stands out, especially given the generous portions.”
