What guests think
At the Charles Cotton Hotel, guests praise the scenic Hartington location and lively on-site pub, but report mixed room quality with dated features, maintenance issues, late-night noise from live music, and variable cleanliness.
Many find staff friendly and helpful, though a few experienced a poor welcome, slow attention, or an allergen mix-up. Food is widely liked, but breakfast can be basic and drinks choices occasionally limited. Expect a characterful village-inn stay with lively evenings and uneven room standards.

Facilities
The on-site pub/bar and restaurant are a highlight, with live music that some enjoy but which can carry noise into rooms late. Secluded parking is available and appreciated by some.

When we arrived there was no hospitality, just your in room 18 its out the door and upstairs in the barn. We ventured into the bar for a drink, had to take my drink back and ask for a clean glass as it was filthy. The area smelt of cooking fat! And also had a dirty floor and tables. To top it all off our final night was spoilt by a loud band playing till one o clock in the morning, and loud patrons shouting and singing till all hours of the morning. The following morning on check still no interaction with guests we were told I will take the keys which the gentleman took from us. No thank you for your custom or or asking us how everything was which we normally get after staying 3 nights. It’s a shame this has gone down hill in the past couple of years because it is in such a lovely area. If booking make sure you check to see if there is a band on. They don’t advertise this on the website only signs in the bar which is too late when you are already there to check in. Definitely won’t be returning,

Staff friendly but room very dated and not that clean. Music in the pub on until late so if you are after a quiet night on Saturday don’t book a room here. It’s a locals pub with rooms. Breakfast not included in price which is steep for room only, especially when single occupancy.

We liked the room. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was pleased to see a bath but unfortunately could not adjust from the shower to bath taps so couldn’t fill it! The food was excellent but the drinks let it down badly. Lots of the nice wine was not available and there were only two amber ales. The staff were pleasant. And it’s a great spot in the village.

Staff very friendly and helpful . Bedding very clean and bed comfortable .👍 Breakfast not so good as the speed it was bought out to us it had obviously been pre cooked and just warmed up and only the egg cooked to order . The whole place is generally run down & tired .. as for the paintwork … we would suggest spec savers for the decorator 🤔. 🙄

Staff were friendly and helpful, one evening it was left to the young members of staff which wasn’t so good as they were to busy chatting and not checking on customers

Property is feeling very tired and in need of some attention. Walls were very thin and we could hear people from at least two other rooms snoring, talking and walking around Our shower was very poor, taking at least two minutes to warm up and then the pressure was not enough for my wife to wash her hair Sealant and general repairs in the bathroom were at best done by an amateur and were not of any standard that I have ever experienced Breakfast was very basic and at £9.95 per person we felt bad value. Our scrambled egg appeared to be made with just one egg although the mushrooms were a bit more plentiful Value for money? Not at £110 per night once breakfast is taken in to account although it is in a great location Would we return? No, we could certainly find better

The hotel is very cosy and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are clean, we stayed in the annexe and weren't disappointed at all. Definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you for a great weekend.

Extremely cold room upon arrival and took a while to heat up. 1 small radiator in the bedroom and 1 small radiator in the bathroom and on an extremely cold sub zero snowy weekend in December, these were inadequate to heat up the room to a comfortable level. I was part of a group who had a group dinner, which was poor and the dining room was cold. I wouldn't stay again; it was expensive for what it was.

The weather was amazing but the room was very hot overnight but luckily we had taken our own fan which was a Godsend We only had breakfast at the hotel which was hot and freshly cooked to order and provided a Gluten Free option for my partner. All in all a fabulous stay in a historic hotel in a wonderful Peak District village

When we arrived there was no hospitality, just your in room 18 its out the door and upstairs in the barn. We ventured into the bar for a drink, had to take my drink back and ask for a clean glass as it was filthy. The area smelt of cooking fat! And also had a dirty floor and tables. To top it all off our final night was spoilt by a loud band playing till one o clock in the morning, and loud patrons shouting and singing till all hours of the morning. The following morning on check still no interaction with guests we were told I will take the keys which the gentleman took from us. No thank you for your custom or or asking us how everything was which we normally get after staying 3 nights. It’s a shame this has gone down hill in the past couple of years because it is in such a lovely area. If booking make sure you check to see if there is a band on. They don’t advertise this on the website only signs in the bar which is too late when you are already there to check in. Definitely won’t be returning,

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful village. Staff were very friendly. A bit of a mixup at dinner when my daughter was served wheat containing onion rings when we had been informed that they were wheat free. Fortunately my dsughter is wheat intolerant and not coeliac. The staff were very spologetic though. Breakfast time could start earlier than 8.30am I feel. The local area is stunningly beautiful

Thank you for a great weekend.

Had a great stay at the Charles Cotton hotel. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The weather was amazing but the room was very hot overnight but luckily we had taken our own fan which was a Godsend We only had breakfast at the hotel which was hot and freshly cooked to order and provided a Gluten Free option for my partner. All in all a fabulous stay in a historic hotel in a wonderful Peak District village

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful village. Staff were very friendly. A bit of a mixup at dinner when my daughter was served wheat containing onion rings when we had been informed that they were wheat free. Fortunately my dsughter is wheat intolerant and not coeliac. The staff were very spologetic though. Breakfast time could start earlier than 8.30am I feel. The local area is stunningly beautiful

Extremely cold room upon arrival and took a while to heat up. 1 small radiator in the bedroom and 1 small radiator in the bathroom and on an extremely cold sub zero snowy weekend in December, these were inadequate to heat up the room to a comfortable level. I was part of a group who had a group dinner, which was poor and the dining room was cold. I wouldn't stay again; it was expensive for what it was.

Staff very friendly and helpful . Bedding very clean and bed comfortable .👍 Breakfast not so good as the speed it was bought out to us it had obviously been pre cooked and just warmed up and only the egg cooked to order . The whole place is generally run down & tired .. as for the paintwork … we would suggest spec savers for the decorator 🤔. 🙄

We liked the room. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was pleased to see a bath but unfortunately could not adjust from the shower to bath taps so couldn’t fill it! The food was excellent but the drinks let it down badly. Lots of the nice wine was not available and there were only two amber ales. The staff were pleasant. And it’s a great spot in the village.

Property is feeling very tired and in need of some attention. Walls were very thin and we could hear people from at least two other rooms snoring, talking and walking around Our shower was very poor, taking at least two minutes to warm up and then the pressure was not enough for my wife to wash her hair Sealant and general repairs in the bathroom were at best done by an amateur and were not of any standard that I have ever experienced Breakfast was very basic and at £9.95 per person we felt bad value. Our scrambled egg appeared to be made with just one egg although the mushrooms were a bit more plentiful Value for money? Not at £110 per night once breakfast is taken in to account although it is in a great location Would we return? No, we could certainly find better

When we arrived there was no hospitality, just your in room 18 its out the door and upstairs in the barn. We ventured into the bar for a drink, had to take my drink back and ask for a clean glass as it was filthy. The area smelt of cooking fat! And also had a dirty floor and tables. To top it all off our final night was spoilt by a loud band playing till one o clock in the morning, and loud patrons shouting and singing till all hours of the morning. The following morning on check still no interaction with guests we were told I will take the keys which the gentleman took from us. No thank you for your custom or or asking us how everything was which we normally get after staying 3 nights. It’s a shame this has gone down hill in the past couple of years because it is in such a lovely area. If booking make sure you check to see if there is a band on. They don’t advertise this on the website only signs in the bar which is too late when you are already there to check in. Definitely won’t be returning,
