Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views from the window and a refreshing electric shower in the rooms. However, the pricing could be better. The service was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The location was convenient for attending a special event at Windy Harbour. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the unique gammon grilled to perfection. The facilities were top-notch, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
The hotel is a charming place with a nice atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. However, the rooms could be more spacious, and the Wi-Fi isn't included in the room rates.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, the service was top-notch, and the location was perfect for exploring Glossop. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with a mix-up in my order. The facilities were great overall, but I found the price a bit on the higher side for what was offered.
