Fodor's Expert Review Old Hall
The Square, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17 6BD, England
Now part of the same group as the Buxton Crescent Hotel, this property overlooking the ornate Buxton Opera House occupies a refurbished 16th-century building claiming to be England's oldest hotel and rumored to have once accommodated Mary, Queen of Scots. Rooms are individually decorated in a classic style; a couple have four-poster beds. The Cockerel Wine Bar is popular with theatergoers, who stoke up on its hearty dishes; there's also a more formal restaurant on-site.
PROS
- well sited for Peak District walks
- good food in the restaurant
- historic ambience
CONS
- no private parking
- rooms may be a bit chintzy for some
- bathrooms are uninspiring
