The H Boutique Hotel

We stayed at the H Boutique Hotel so as to visit the Christmas at Chatsworth experience (brilliant BTW) but although the hotel ought to have been excellent there were too many “fails”. Summary: LIKES- a large double aspect room which was modern and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and did their best to help and engage at all times The hotel was central in Bakewell and so it was easy to walk and explore all the shops cafes etc. DISLIKES- the heating and plumbing were not functional. The room was heated by a hot air system which was noisy and not particularly efficient. Also, it switched on and off automatically through the night which woke us up. The hot water was only ever warm (not hot) and the shower was just a trickle. It’s a shame as the bathroom was modern and expensively fitted so why didn’t it work properly? It was cold weather while we were there and we never really felt warm at any time during our stay. The catering arrangements are also very odd. Apparently the attached tea room where we had breakfast is a separate business and although the girls were friendly and helpful it didn’t help that it was so cold in there. The reception area of the hotel to which is adjacent opens directly on to the street so every time the door opened an icy blast came through. When we left the chap on reception was wearing an anorak to keep warm! Parking is a bit of a lottery as you have to use public car parks which are patrolled by fiercely efficient car park attendants. And if you arrive on a Monday as we did, all the surrounding streets are closed off for the market so it’s impossible to actually get to the hotel with your luggage until 7pm. SUMMARY- a pleasant and modern hotel with helpful and friendly staff but clearly none of them are trained hoteliers with the experience to manage guests’ expectations. Great potential, sadly unrealised at the moment. We wouldn’t return.

Amazing and gorgeous hotel in the heart of Bakewell. Very spacious room and the food is to die for. Basic breakfast continental is included but please whatever you do get the full English or the eggs Benedict as both are presented well and taste delicious. Everything is within a 5-10 minute walk of the hotel. The only downside is the parking which is located approximately 50m from the hotel which needs to be booked via the PayByPhone app 806388 Granby road for around £5 for 12 hours or if you are still that way inclined does take cash There is a couple of fish and chip shops within a stones throw of the hotel and the traditional Bakewell tart shop around 2 mins away which is a must. The onsite pizzas are delicious as well as the chips and Bakewell pudding which were brought up to our room for us. Another plus is that if you stay in the hotel you get a discount off of this. The staff are very friendly and helpful with nothing being too much Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with good food and finely located and would definitely return to stay again.

Visited in October for a birthday and business trip. A well presented boutique hotel perfectly situated in the middle of Bakewell. Modern decor, Dave (the manager) ‘very’ chatty and friendly, our room was a great size with walk-in wet room. Rupert in the bar/restaurant was the best staff member- very Attentive, polite and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Excellent . Downside- no hotel parking but public carpark literally across the road. Will define be returning. Great cheese n Beer/gin shop next door too!

Absolutely lovely hotel! The staff were attentive and informative. We stayed in the H Room, it was incredibly spacious, with two seating areas. The bed was a super king and was the best night sleep. Location wise you couldn’t be more central. Breakfast was tasty, we will definitely return. We could not fault it!

This hotel is second to none in our opinion. The rooms are so beautifully clean and set out amazing . The staff including Helen and the two nicest guys you will get to meet ( Rupert and Olly) were all so friendly and could'nt do enough to make our stay incredible . The outside seating area is great for enjoyin a drink while people watching . We will definitely be going there again . Also the food was stunning .

Spent two midweek nights in the H boutique hotel Others have mentioned parking which is not the hotels fault and I actually felt they were very clear on their communication about this prior to our arrival and gave good advice of where and how to park (especially arriving on a market day) so this is not contributing towards 2*. The basics let this hotel (which has the potential to be lovely) down The room was spacious, however the air conditioning had a mind of its own, and unfortunately as the reception is not manned overnight, when you retire to your room to find it overheating after 10pm it leads to an unpleasantly hot night. In addition to this the bedding and pillow cases had multiple holes and the bed itself was quite uncomfortable. This combined with the aircon led to two very poor nights sleep. The bathroom grouting needed cleaning properly and in some areas redoing. The water pressure in the shower was the worst we’ve experienced in any hotel or campsite -it was a light trickle. We cannot comment on the breakfast as when we booked it was clear that the rate was for room only and breakfast not inclusive. However we can recommend for an excellent hot breakfast ‘The Gallery’ which is just around the corner, well priced and absolutely delicious. The location of the hotel is great if you want to visit the Peak District, Chatsworth etc, and I would add that the staff were lovely.
