Wonderful views, fabulous views, these are worth a stay alone! I would recommend staying solely for the views. The hotel is not modern (it would be horrendous if it was!) it is spotless, but could do with an little extra thought (an example is the kettle had to be put on the floor to heat this up, which is ruining...

Lovely location and fantastic views over Dove Dale.Found staff to be mostly freindly and helpful. No croisssants or yoghurt one morning which was very disappointing when you want a continental breakfast. What was more disappointing was the way in which that information was delivered. Extra toast could have been offered but wasn't. Felt the person who served us was going... More

We got married at the Izaak Walton Hotel last weekend and had the best day of our lives! Our guests came from all over the place and most of them stayed for two nights. They all said how lovely it was. Our stay at the hotel and the wedding itself was just perfect, all of the staff were very friendly... More

For several years my Wife and I, and occassionally with friends and members of our family have stayed and enjoyed breaks at the Izaak Walton Hotel. However, our most recent stay at the Hotel for a family reunion did not come up to expectations. This was a special reunion and I can only describe our weekend stay at the hotel... More

We did not stay at the hotel so cannot comment on the hotel itself. However on the way to Dovedale, we clearly saw a big sign, saying barlunches.drinks etc. After a glorious walk, we went up to the hotel at about 315pm. The service was surly, the place looked 'dead', we were told by a barman that the chef had... More

Unfortunately the hotel has only one disabled parking space and the car park is quite a way from the hotel. My husband has had a stroke therefore cannot walk very far - and the owner of a Jaguar was parked in the... More

This was our first Groupon getaway deal and we were pleasantly surprised. This hotel has the finest views of any we have stayed in (UK only). The hotel itself is slightly dated but it is clean and extremely comfortable without any of the pretentiousness that can be found in more modern hotels. The staff are friendly, helpful and very courteous.... More

Stayed over for two nights as part of a Groupon deal. Venue of this hotel is fantastic, you can't beat looking out over Thorpe cloud as you eat your breakfast and the Stepping Stones are a short walk away. Hotel is a bit dated but very charming and very olde worlde. Try the two comfy old chairs next to the... More

We visited this hotel after purchasing a deal on Groupon. The food was superb but the portions were not large therefore we had to add a starter & desert at a standard price of £9 each even for the tomatoe soup! The hotel was a lovely old building and in general the staff were friendly. In the restaurant they had... More

We went with friends for a weekend so the men could fish and we could visit stately homes. We were a bit worried when we read reviews post booking as there were several bad reviews. We can see where people are coming from, re the decor being dated (its like a set from Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple film) and the... More
