Staindrop Lodge Hotel

Was pleasantly surprised how modernised this hotel was. Recently refurbished , this hotel is lovely as is the staff . My room was modern and bright and the bath was a whirlpool . Food was excellent and moderately priced . Service was spot on . Will definitely stay again

We had the pleasure of staying at this newly refurbished hotel for 3 nights with my family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely staff — everyone from the front desk to the chef and bar team went out of their way to make our stay special. The refurbishment has been done to a high standard, and the hotel feels fresh, modern, and very comfortable. Our room was spotless and spacious, perfect for a family, with all the amenities we needed. One of the real highlights was the service. The chef prepared delicious breakfast (try the smashed avocado, it's lovely) with care, and the bar staff were always friendly and accommodating — nothing was ever too much trouble. The location is fantastic, making it the perfect base for exploring the stunning Peak District. We enjoyed several days of hiking and sightseeing, and it was always nice to return to such a welcoming place at the end of the day. For families, this hotel is ideal. There’s a lovely park nearby that the kids enjoyed, and with supermarkets just a short walk away, everything you might need is close at hand. All in all, we had a truly memorable stay and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

After seeing previous reviews I was a bit sceptical about the stay. We spent 3 nights family of 4 and stayed in a family room. The beds seemed new and were big!! Breakfast was great with quite a few options, Our kids didnt complain! Location was good being a stone throw away from the peal district and the local shopping centre. Bar staff were nice and drinks were a reasonable price! I would definitly stay here again.

Firstly. Very friendly staff and extremely quiet for a nights sleep. Hotel is run down , no restaurant, rooms not cleaned daily. I believe I was the only guest. Says it all really. It looks as if this property is being renovated on a very small budget.

Stayed two nights. Bed was uncomfortable, there were also hairs on the bed that were questionable. Squashed flies on the wall also. The corridor is dirty. Carpets are mucky and other guests chuck their dirty plates and glasses outside their rooms. You can literally hear other guests all night long. We couldn’t sleep due to the noise. We ate in the restaurant on Valentines night, a group of 13. There were two other couples in here. During the 1.5hrs it took to bring the food out, both couples had walked out and returned their food due to it being cold. After 1.5hrs, they brought out 11 meals, so two of us had to wait another 30min. When they finally brought all meals out, the food was fine. The young girl behind the bar was lovely; we felt sorry for her due to the amount of complaints she was getting, ranging from the food being rubbish to the fact it was freezing as the heating was also broke. Wouldn’t stay again.

Unfortunately, since the last time my friend and I visited, this hotel has gone downhill. We visited pre Covid, before the hotel was housing asylum seekers. We actually received a phone call before arrival to see if we were still staying. (Either a nice touch, or they wanted to book the room out if we were not). Reception staff were very kind and polite. Travelling upstairs to the room was slightly depressing, dirty carpers, loose wires above doors and corridor generally not very presentable. The room was extremely spacious with a newish TV fitted, which was of good quality. Unfortunately, the bathroom seems neglected. Hairs in bath, crack in sink. The most frustrating part was lack of plug in the bath, so I had to settle for a shower. Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again.
