Good centre for touring around the Peak District, Harrington is ok if you are a rambler as nothing else much to do in the village The hotel dates back to the 1600’s and is full of history and now brought back sympathetically for todays visitors Bedrooms were very comfortable and clean with everything included you expect in modern hotels The B&B price was very competitive while the restaurant menu was a little restricted Overall the food quality was good A funny thing occurred on the Sunday evening, when the waitress came to take our order she informed us if you want anything with chips there’s a 15 minute delay as we have run out of chips and they’ve popped out to get some, however 15 minutes turned out to be over 30 minutes but when the chips did finally arrive they were actually the nicest we’ve had for a long time so all was forgiven Give it a go you’ll be quite surprised…

Good accomadation at a competitive rate. Could do with offering different cooked breakfast, the £9:80 they charge is good but I would have liked to have the option to upgrade to a bigger breakfast as I found it a bit small, wouldn't have minded paying extra. We stopped for two nights with friends and I don't think any of the staff realised we were stopping there even though they'd severed us a few times. Could do with making the guests feel welcome and getting more personal with them. This is hopefully constructive feedback as I would recommend this hotel and I would return in future.

Went here for my birthday weekend with my partner and it was in such an amazing location, really close to all of the best hiking spots. The staff were really friendly and the room was spacious and lovely.

Arrived Friday 26th for a 3 night stay after checking in at the bar where the young lady was under a bit of pressure checking in running the bar and the restaurant we went to our pre booked table for 7-30, I ordered a beer for myself as we looked at the menu, steak and ale pie with MUSHY peas and mash for myself my wife would try the minted lamb with MUSHY peas food came served with frozen peas ( not mushy) food appeared to be vacuumed packed and reheated in an industrial microwave hot centre cold outside. Trivial thing the peas however I asked for another beer 10 mins later nothing I approached the bar and asked had she forgot which seemed to be the case she rung it up on the till forgetting to poor it. Sat morning I go for breakfast usual welcome would you like tea or coffee help yourself to continental breakfast, 🤣🤣 juice cereal and toast? Not my idea or experience of continental breakfast, waitress brings the breakfast menu I see croissants on the menu, I’ll have the Derbyshire breakfast and do you have FRESH CROISSANTS yes I’ll have two please. Hot food arrives 1 sausage 1 rasher bacon 1 egg 2 small mushrooms i black pudding and a small trivet of beans ( no chance to add anything) so Childs portion it is, breakfast finished wait 10 mins no croissants. Take myself to the village store to buy some from the local bakery and very nice they were 😁, I asked if I could have an iron and board yes sir no problem, the young man arrived with a board No Iron 🤦♂️. We stayed in the cottage which was right next to the kitchen so mornings and evenings quite noisy with staff talking, cobwebs upstairs radiator valves falling off no extractor vent in the wet room creating the risk of slipping down the steps that lead to it. After a difference of opinion which was my mistake we decided to leave after 2nights on sat we ate in another village that had been recommended by a local shopkeeper and I had breakfast in the farm shop which was 1st class. The building needs a lot of TLC to bring it back to its glory the photos on the website bear no resemblance must be from some years ago shame Should be renamed Charles Forgetting Cotton Hotel…

Lovely place to stay. A warm welcome and breakfast was lovely. The room was clean and dressed well. Large car park at the back with a garden, plenty of space available. Set in a lovely little village Would definitely stay again. Thankyou x

We were dismayed at how run down the Charles Cotton has become. The website is very misleading and shows pictures from 2010. Our king size room, costing £100 per night, was in a cottage annexe and not at all what we were expecting. It was scruffy, rather dismal and not very comfortable. You had to duck down to see out of the small bedroom window, which hadn’t seen a coat of paint in years. The duvet cover and throw had holes in them. The grouting and sealant in the shower room was dirty and needed replacing. The portable electric heater dangerously overheated within a few minutes of being switched on. In the main hotel building the decor in the lovely breakfast room was sadly neglected with chipped paintwork everywhere. All in a all a totally unloved venue, which we shall not be revisiting.…

Myself, my brother and our mother, went with our two mini schnauzers for an evening meal at this ‘dog friendly’ pub. When booking we said they barked a little and was that ok? We were assured it was. We were put on a table by the door to the toilets and the entrance to the bar so lots of people were walking past. On a couple of occasions the dogs barked a little but stopped quickly and were well controlled. The bar woman was brusk from the starts and ordered us to move one of the dogs closer to the door to the toilets. It got from bad to worse, she was aggressive and very negative towards the dogs. We attempted to pay the bill, but she continued to rant at all of us, delaying our exit. This caused a scene, which was uncomfortable for us, of note also, is that the dogs remained quiet during this altercation. She stated that she had been attacked by a dog the previous week, which leads me to think that if she is uncomfortable with dogs, then working in a ‘dog friendly’ pub is not for her. Food was average and over priced. I had stayed there pre Covid, and was surprised how poor it now is. We would never go again. If you have a dog, avoid and go to the Devonshire instead.…

Stayed here as part of the Ramblers Group. Had a great room with fantastic views. After coming back after a long days walk over the beautiful countryside it was great to come back to such a relaxing atmosphere. Prices at the bar seemed to differ depending on who served you! £3 for a drink then the next day the same drink was £4. Bit of an awkward unnecessary conversation over the price difference but surely the staff should know the prices. We don’t think they’ve had a full hotel before as the waiting staff seemed a little stressed when dealing with your food orders. Other than this we all had a great time staying here and would definitely come back.

So Wowcher deals as you do. On arrival at this hidden gem of a village, Artington near Bakewell. The pub or inn looked lovely in this quaint village, a must is to walk around the village.. I want to live here. The pub, we paid for an upgrade and were shown to the annexe or old stable which wasn't very nice, cold and seemed dated so we asked to move into the main pub which they did without fuss. Our room away comfortable but in need of a facelift, cobwebs, needed repainting, wallpaper coming off the walls and the bathroom needed some TLC, in fact the shower was in the bath by the window which overtime will rot with the continued wet. Listen we've lost 4500 hospitalities since COVID, average 8/week so they need all the help they can get. The pub could do with some money spent on it but I suspect with all the overheads it's difficult. Staff couldnt be more friendly, good old Derbyshire/Staffordshire smiles all round. Food was excellent and served in a timely manner. We've read some negative reviews on here but yes it does need tlc but food and hospitality is great. Thank for a lovely visit and look beyond the decor …

We just stayed for one night at this quirky hotel, located in the centre of Hartington village. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful before, and upon our arrival. The room was up a number of stairs. It was fairly small but perfectly fine for the night. The double bed was reasonably comfortable and the room was equipped with tea and coffee. The en-suite bathroom had a bath and shower. However, the shower took some time to get the right hot and cold mix. We ate in the hotel restaurant in the evening. The menu had a fair mix of dishes with some vegetarian options and prices were reasonable and the food was tasty. It was unfortunate that the bar closed at 9pm, even for residents and the staff all left for the day. This curtailed our evening earlier than anticipated. The reception is not staffed over night. We paid extra for breakfast (£9.95 per person). Although it was nicely cooked, breakfast wasn’t worth the price. Portions were small, the selection of cereals was very limited and there was no fruit or yogurt available. The coffee was weak, flavourless and instant. Our main issue was the pollen and odour from a large bunch of lilies in the reception area that filled the entire hotel. Although they were pretty, this choice of flower was very poor and wholly unacceptable for people with asthma or allergies, meaning that we couldn’t get away into the fresh air quick enough. Overall, I would recommend this friendly hotel for short getaways but personally the adverse effect of the pollen from the lilies puts me off staying again.…
