Portland Hotel

When we decided to go to another show as we regularly do at Buxton opera house we largely because of sentiment always stay at the Palace but for a change we decided to come here for a change and it was truly lovely the personal touch professional and friendly rooms, well appointed ours was huge bed comfortable and facilities were good too the bar sitting room and dining room was really lovely and homely the food and service good. As you can see by my reviews I travel extensively and stay in many hotels. The total and absalute bilge I've read clearly from a malcontent with an axe to grind in the last review really galls me especially when after staying here our stay was lovely my advice to anyone staying here as a traveler as I am is to ignore rot like that and see for yourself for the price and the quality of the food and the friendly service I'd have paid twice as much lovely stay really was and a stones throw from the opera house

Came here over the weekend and had a good stay. Its situated in a great location, especially for walkers to get out and about into the rest of the peak district. The gentleman on reception was helpful and offered us a choice of breakfast and time slots to help both us and his team in the morning. The pros to the B&B were the price and good value for money. The beds were comfortable and we both slept well although I did have earplugs because of the thin walls and hearing the TV of next doors room. The breakfast was good and included in the price which is rare. Good WiFi too for planning routes the next day. There was also plenty of hot water for us both in the morning and soap is provided along with towels. The cons of the stay were the thin walls so could hear a lot of noises going on throughout the floor we were staying on. The shower needs a bit more power behind it as doesn't get you feeling warm warm before you get out. The breakfast could do with some beans or to are juice as was quite dry although still filling. And the room we was in did feel a little tired with carpet cuttings on the floor and a updo needed in the bathroom etc. But all in all for a night or two I'd recommend for sure. It's perfect and great value for what you get and I'd certainly come back for another weekend. However, for any longer I'd certainly look elsewhere just because of the cons in my review. Overall great for a night or two though.

What a nice bed and breakfast, located across the road from the Pavilion Gardens and a 10 minute stroll to the Opera House. Check in was easy, the room was clean and warm. For breakfast you could book a time slot, what you wanted to eat and it was all very organised. The owners and all the staff who we met; were fantastic, welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.

I am from Buxton and go home a couple of times a year, normally stop at the Palace Hotel but this year it was well over priced. So Stayed for a long weekend with my partner at the Portland. The Owner and his staff are very helpful the room was clean and warm and breakfast was great, had a lovely stay and would stay again.

Great value for money, warm and welcoming. The four poster room was large, bathroom clean. Breakfast was freshly cooked which made a great change to the usual buffet. Dining room, bar and lounge all well appointed and decorated

Lovely cosy little hotel. Large room with very comfortable bed. Fabulous breakfast, with well-run choice of time slots to pre-book, so that your cooked breakfast always comes hot and freshly cooked. Small bar open in the evenings, with a wonderful old style tv lounge to sit in and chat with other guests. The staff are friendly and the manager was extremely helpful and fair when we had to go home a day early. This lovely, proper old-fashioned hotel would be no good for anyone who likes modern, Premier Inn-type places, but it was perfect for us - we loved it!
