Baslow Hotels with Bars

Stayed overnight as part of a birthday treat. No lie in possible on my birthday as there is a large construction project ongoing at the back of the hotel ( which we should have been informed about at the time of booking) which woke us, then the staff socialising and talking loudly outside the locked second door to our room ensured we stayed awake. I did not sleep that night as the room smelled like an old man, I suspect it’s that old school gloss paint smell that lingers for months but it was very strong. Very nice crisp bed linen. Nice bathroom. Suite not up to 4 star standard though. The hotel is renowned for its food but they don’t serve dinner on Tuesday or Weds. Instead you are provided with a taxi and a voucher for the village pub where the food is average if I’m being generous. We knew this beforehand but it feels like “ here’s what you could have won” when you stay on those nights. There is no spa and with no Michelin food it doesn’t feel like there is much point staying there. The lounge area is depressing in a Jacobean style ( although it’s not a Jacobean house) , it’s cramped and uncomfortable. Breakfast was lovely apart from the amuse bouche ( at breakfast!) of a pixie portion of granola which was dreadful. Lauren who checked us in and served us in the bar was absolutely lovely. The service was fantastic overall. Outside on the terrace looked really fabulous too and I’m sure when it’s sunny ( it was torrential rain when we stayed) it’s an asset to the hotel. The gardens are beautiful. We would maybe stay again, we were disappointed this time but we can see how in different circumstances it could be better for instance in a different room, on a day when the restaurant is open and when the construction behind is finished.

It feels like a family hotel, the owner and his wife live on one end of the house and the passengers live on the other side. The whole atmosphere of the hotel is very warm, the room is clean and tidy, and the decoration is beautiful. It really makes you feel at home. We lived in a family room on the second floor, and there was a small courtyard behind it. The children were happy to pile two snowmen behind. The location of the hotel itself is right next to the road. But it is not a main road, so it is not noisy. The main attractions in the windy area of Beckwell, the town of Aidensol, in the Richmond Bedroom Manor are very close, within 15 minutes by car. The slight fly in the ointment is that there are no other shops around except a Robin Hood Club restaurant that it operates.
