"Very comforting"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 19, 2013
This hotel was in a perfect location right at a bus stop. The room was a bit small for American standards (no place to do yoga) but it was comfy. I stayed for a week and the staff was always cleaning the building. It was such a nice environment! The food was really good and the chef was always around.
"Great place, will stay again"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 5, 2013
My girlfriend and I stayed for a few days while visiting friends and family and were very pleased. The "hotel" is a brand new apartment complex with a small reception just inside the entrance. Rooms were big, bright and well appointed. Location is fantastic, right next to the Arndale Centre. The only complaint about the entire place was that the sofa-bed wasn't the comfiest. Will definitely stay here again!
"Great for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 31, 2013
Overall our stay was great, the room was comfortable and the staff very helpful, The only downsides for me - I wish the bar area food had not been quite so expensive (over 60 pounds for a burger, baked potato, childrens meal and 2 drinks) also when we checked in around 4pm we requested a cot for our daughter, we had to call back twice before it finally arrived around 7:30.
"Central location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 29, 2013
The stay was very good indeed. My one complaint is that the breakfast coffee was terrrible. Why do hotels do this it takes so much from all th other good things, such as great staff, lovely room and great location.

"Great getaway for those who are weary of the city!"
Very quaint farm BB in the beauty of the Buxton hills. Staff are wonderful and rooms comfortable. I would have preferred wireless in the room but ate and drank well while online in their pub. Very reasonable rates.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful location, lovely food, cosy room"
I would highly recommend the Stanley Arms, especially for walkers. Very comfortable room and a great meal in the restaurant.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay in the hills"
I work away from home every week and normally stay in a Premier Inn. For a change I thought I'd take my mountain bike and stay in the hills. The Stanley Arms provided a refreshing change for me. Good biking, good food, good beer and good company.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Base for the Peak District"
Stayed in November for mountain bike base in the peaks - is a 30 min drive ish to Hope etc but we prefer to be nearer Macclesfield as there is a pub over there we like to visit - booked the Stanley room as we have a lot of gear and the xtra space was useful. Room/bathroom was clean, bed was comfortable. Food in the pub was very good - large portions […] - nice english breakfast - great before/after a day biking/walking. Service was very good and friendly, locals in the bar were friendly too. Plan to stay here again in 2013. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A good friendly experience"
An excellent short break; the pub has obviously struggled with the economic climate and indifferent winter weather in the past couple of years. Proprietors are keen and provide a good service but there are some signs of 'tiredness' about the decor which I am sure is attributable to financial pressures. Service and helpfulness were good and standard […] of food of a high quality. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Quiet. Good beer and food."
Basic pub/inn but in a lovely location out in the wild. Quiet and good food and real ale in the pub. Only issues were no Vodaphone mobile service due to it being 'in the middle of nowhere' and no breakfast offered until 8AM at the earliest. I would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ideal for a relaxing break"
We needed a place not too far from home where we could escape for a couple of days (didn't want to waste too much time travelling). The Stanley Arms was a good choice with its friendly and welcoming atmosphere (especially the dog), excellen meals and comfortable room. Everything seemed to be catered for. Probably wouldn't suit a family with young children […] because of its remote location, but is great for those who enjoy hiking round the countryside and other outdoor pursuits.

It was a very enjoyable short stay. Pleasant staff. Good Service and Food.What a comfortable bed !! A good Breakfast included in the price made it good value for money. Would stay again,but longer.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The phone number on Hotels.com booking confirmation is WRONG therefroe unable to inform Stanley Arms of my late arrival, however they were most accomadating.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great food and friendly Service"
As always, a warm welcome awaitied me at The Stanley Arms. It had been a while since I had stayed previously, but I was welcomed as an old friend. The rooms now have a freeview box and telephone, which is a great bonus as mobile phone reception in the area is poor (Which is a sometimes a bonus when away on business - at least you get the evening in […] peace). The food is as good as ever. My 250 mile journey, was spent looking forward to Carolyn's Bottom of the Oven Lamb which didn't disappoint. An ideal location for walkers or for those looking for a comfortable, relaxing place to stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Cosy, high quality B&B"
Had a great stay in the Stanley Arms. We used it as a meeting point for two old friends who live either side of the Peak District and stayed in the Torgate (twin) room. Very pleasant and comfortable except for the fact that the window is small and high up (converted barn) so we couldn't enjoy the great views. Everything you could need in the room - […] toiletries were a nice touch, as were the sherry and chocs! Food in the restaurant was excellent and breakfast which was similarly yummy. The bar is lovely and cosy - we loved the open fires. Staff were very friendly (including the dog, George!). Very handy for Buxton or for local walks. We hope to be back with our husbands! Thank you for a great break. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great B&B"
Friendly staff, clean comfortable room and very tasty good quality evening meals on the menu.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A superb find"
A fantastic small hotel in a great location. There are several local walks and a great base for Peak District walking generally. The Hotel has very friendly staff, and excellent food with an amazing menu (I struggled to chose as all the items sounded so good). You even get some complementary sherry and chocolates in your room to help you unpack!Genuine Expedia guest review
"The undisputable choice"
This is not your average B&B. No, a hundred times no. Here you have high quality hospitality, in well furnished, super-comfortable accommodation, provided by very professional and kind hosts. Good, coordinated fixtures (not cheap), well thought out, excellent bedding, powerful shower, toiletries provided, cooked breakfast (good bacon - none of that […] fatty stuff, excellent mushrooms, juicy sausages, hmmm yum) all there. I loved the place, and was impressed with the service. If you want a good night's rest, in quiet surroundings, an excellent bar, top hospitality, and a sumptuous breakfast, then you cannot possibly look anywhere else, as there is just no other competition. Gracious hostess even went the extra mile to drop me in town to avoid being late for my meeting. Superb touch, and quite grateful. Do I recommend??? 1000 per cent.

"Peace and comfort"
Delightful quiet location - just down the hill from the Cat and Fiddle but off the main road. Really comfortable room - quiet large with an en suite bath and seperate shower. Good quality evening meal - ate far too much. Full English breakfast. What's not to like!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Recommended B & B"
Decanter of sherry in the room was a lovely touch. Rooms clean and good bathroom. Breakfast excellent-freshly cooked to order. Scenery locally outstanding. We would recommend this B & B to othersGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Pleased"
The propietor, Adrian, and his wife made us very welcome. The food and our accommodation was very good.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The Stanley Arms - B&B"
Arrived on a Tuesday after a long journey. No welcome from the one person in the bar who turned out to be the co-owner. Person behind the bar also gave no welcome and disappeared (to get the visitors' book but they didn't speak). Room was small - I struggle to agree that a four foot bed is a 'double'. Room was superficially clean. Television was terrestrial, […] had a poor signal and appeared to be faulty. Asked for a room with a larger bed but was told that they were all the same size. Explained that the TV didn't appear to be working properly and was told by the co-owner that he'd look into it. The dust around it didn't move and the picture didn't improve, so I don't believe he did. Shower was ok. Hung towels to dry and went out. Room was made up while we were out all day. Towels however had been folded up and put back into original positions, still soaking wet, as we discovered when we went to use them the next morning. Breakfast was choice of a handful of small-box cereals, fresh melon and toast/tea/coffee plus cooked breakfast to order. Didn't try the cooked stuff as was unsure how clean the kitchen was & a large dog appeared to have the run of the place. Co-owner told us that it was her day off - presumable this explained the general lack of welcome and enthusiasm. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"sehr Gut"
Wir waren hier zwei Tage, und fühlten uns sehr wohl. Das von uns gebuchte Zimmer ist eher etwas zu klein geraten,aber dafür hatten wir eine ausgezeichnete kompfortable Matratzesowie voralem eine gute Heizung und Badraum. Und noch zum Schluß: Wir hatten ein hervoragnedes Abendessen,mit einem Glas Bier an der Bar,im Hintergrund den brennenden Kamin. PS: Werden […] bei unserem nächsten Bike Tripp hier wieder übernachten. mfg Hans Albrecht Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
