Lovely Hotel, in a lovely town, but we were across the road in a tiny, ground floor room with no air-con. The staff are great, the Hotel itself is lovely, breakfast is great, Bakewell is great. But the lion's share of £200 for our room was over the top

The Rutland arms is dead centre in the midfle of Bakewell, great views of the town and easy to walk from. Great for people watching as its pretty busy. The staff were approachable and efficient, especially the waiting staff. The whole experience was lovely, as was the room. Will be definitely visiting again.

Short break in Bakewell

Generally very good for everything, just room for improvement in a couple of areas; No elevator and lots of stairs to drag your suitcase up and down. Bathroom really small, shower in bath tub and very cramped using the toilet.

Lovely hotel

Excellent, welcoming and knowledgeable service by all staff across the hotel. Comfortable room. Car parking spaces at a premium so get there early. Situated on a busy roundabout in the centre so daytime was noisy but it was quiet at night and you were on the spot for all Bakewell has to offer. Meal in the restaurant was fantastic and the main hotel decor was lovely with lots of places to sit. Would definitely stay again.

Great location and fabulous breakfast, with lots of choice. The rooms however, are very small, with a fan which didn't make the room any cooler on these hot evenings. There were never any staff on reception when we checked in and whenever I needed anything, however when you managed to find someone, they were very helpful.

Beautiful building inside and out. Room was in separate building across the road which was absolutely fine for us, but no air conditioning and it was a hot night. Water pressure in the shower was poor but that was our only issue. We loved our stay.
