Peveril of the Peak Hotel

Thorpe, Ashbourne

Set in 11 acres with a hand picked White Peak village location in Dovedale (Nr Ashbourne) the three-star Peveril of the Peak allows you to stay amid some of the finest scenery the Peak District has to offer. With the towering presence of Thorpe Cloud as a backdrop and the rolling Thorpe Pastures to one side, your tranquility and relaxation is assured. Numerous footpaths and trails lie nearby with some passing through our grounds and the famous stepping stones on the river Dove, which divides Derbyshire and Staffordshire, are minutes away.Venturing further afield brings you the contrasting, harsher tones of the Dark Peak with its more rugged features. The towns of Buxton, Ashbourne, Matlock and Bakewell lie nearby as do character filled villages like Ilam, Hartington and Eyam as well as Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. For thrill seekers nearby Alton Towers provides a great day out.

The hotel needed a good clean throughout as it was filthy . We had a meal in the bar on the evening as both of us left it as it was of a very low standard . I am aware it was only £50.00 for ther room but you expect it to be clean as least .

There is an un-loved feel about the hotel. The Reception was terce; the checking-out lacked any "Was everything OK?" or "Thanks" or "See you again". Two notices in the lounge advertised events which had happened in 2007 or March 2008 (this was in July 2008). The restaurant staff were good natured, but struggling; there was no evidenceof any staff training. Breakfast took an age to arrive; we were told the chef was on hs own and very busy - there were six people in the restaurant at the time.
We went there because it had been our honeymoon hotel forty years ago. We may go again for our golden wedding, but not before, and would only risk one night.
