Very traditional British accommodation, just in the Peak District, the environment is very good, and it is very convenient to go hiking. The taste of the restaurant is really amazing! highly recommended! ! ! !

Food exceptional, along with the service, gentleman at breakfast & who worked behind the bar was one of the most courteous hotel staff we have ever come across. I am not surprised that the food has to AA rosettes . The bedrooms and bathrooms are tired and dated, but very clean. Bed very comfortable, with a topper but pillows with no substance, old fibre filled perhaps.

We had a great long-weekend in Dovedale. This is an excellent hotel within easy reach of lots of good walks. The breakfasts were treat and the fine dining made the evenings special too. The staff are very friendly. Our room had a spa bath - perfect for recovery after a long walk.

This hotel is in a very very pleasant part of Derbyshire and situated near to Dove Dale. I found the staff extremely helpful and supportive, the room was very well appointed and warm. The Bar meals were delicious and no waiting time either. I have seen on the tripadviser that other visitors have given poor reviews, as the hotel is a period property there is bound to be mild niggles at times. I found the whole experience very restful and relaxing in a beautiful part of Great Britain. Thank you to all staff for making Izaak Walton Hotel a wonderful place to stay.

The hotel is in a lovely location with several walks available straight from the door. We dined in the bar area rather than the restaurant each evening of our four night stay, and the food and choice were excellent. We would definitely stay there again if we were to revisit the area. Having said that, we have only given it four stars for the following reasons. When I booked on the hotel website I opted to pay more for a room that promised either a view of Thorpe Cloud or a view of the ‘beautiful’ garden. We were actually given a room with a view of sheep on a nearby fellside, which was ok but not what we were led to expect. The room was a decent size with a nice bathroom. Sadly there was no hot water on the first day due we were told to a boiler malfunction. Over the following three days the water never got warmer than lukewarm. No further explanation or apology were offered, even when we paid the bill. Perhaps they could have offered a slight reduction on the bill, or a free drink with our meal, just some small gesture to acknowledge the inconvenience.

We have stayed here several times before and were disappointed to find how much has changed. We booked 4 nights and checked out after 3. Hotel is in a great location but is looking very tired and dated. We were ok with that but had the following issues: There was no hot water in the hotel for 3 days. Noone apologised and when we complained we were told it was an 'ongoing problem.' Breakfast was dreadful. Self service, barely warm food, not enough food prepared for the number of guests, no fresh fruit. We stayed in a courtyard room which was drafty because the door glass is covered by a tatty roller blind and net curtain. a heavy curtain is needed across the whole doorway for both warmth and privacy. No ales were available on tap in the bar on Friday evening. The housekeeper was rude when we asked her to wait ten minutes before servicing our room. People (i think staff) arrived back to the room above us at 2 am on Sunday morning and spent 30 minutes walking noisily around and talking. Not a good overall experience and we will not be returning any time soon.

We had a fabulous, relaxing time here celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. The staff were very helpful, the rooms delightful, the views beautiful and the food lovely. Nineteen of us sat down for a three course meal which was delicious and nicely presented. Amongst our company were five children who were well catered for; they loved their stay. Our party was there for two nights in comfortable, well equipped rooms. The picnic tables in the garden where we enjoyed G & Ts were an added bonus! Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so delightful.
