The Rutland Arms Hotel Bakewell Derbyshire

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Rutland Arms in Bakewell. The location is perfect right in the heart of the town centre, making it so easy to explore everything on foot. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated, full of charm and character. We were lucky enough to stay in the Jane Austen room, and it was truly unbelievable such a unique and special experience. We dined at the hotel for lunch, dinner, and breakfast. All the meals were excellent — good quality ingredients, generous portions, and very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient throughout our stay. It’s clear they take pride in providing great service. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be returning!

An absolutely stunning restaurant in a prime location in Bakewell. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience with very helpful waiters. Located just opposite the Bakewell green with the original Bakewell bakery within 2 minutes walking distance. Food was generally as expensive as a nicer pub but atmosphere was that of some of the nicest restaurants out there. Brilliant value for money. There was also a wonderful bar that looked well tended to and even featured Victorian stuffed deer on the wall! All very clean and comfortable. We went for Sunday lunch and it was very busy. The service was attentive, but the food was a little slow, though good when it arrived.

We stayed in the main hotel where the public spaces were lovely. We carried our bags up stairs & through various fire doors. Our room was small & very hot - no A/C & no fridge. The sash windows didn't work, so we had to prop the window open for some air. A small fan was provided. Breakfast was good. Service throughout was generally quite relaxed.
