The Izaak Walton Country House Hotel - Dovedale

Location was perfect & the hotel looks nice, although needs a bit of updating. Breakfast was very limited especially if a person doesn't like cooked breakfast, there wasn't anything else to eat apart from 2/3 types of cereals. To take a shower was an absolute nightmare as the shower head & knob was very old. Water pressure was awful which meant I couldn't stand under the shower head so I had to do everything single-handed. A quick shower turned to a very long one! Cleanliness was not great as spiders & spider webs were in many places of the room. Heating would not come on when needed as they set it a timer for it Reception never answer the phone whenever we rang, when we go to reception there were 2 people there!!

Good-sized room with lovely view. Good hot breakfast.

Lovely location. Good bedroom. Poor bar with very poor choice and disappointing restaurant.

The views of Dovedale were superb and the position of the hotel idyllic with easy parking. Dinner and breakfast were not high standard and the only waitress was rushed off her feet. Generally pleasant and helpful Staff.

Very quirky and dated needs a complete refurb. Great location
