I loved the complimentary cake and coffee in the lounge at 4pm. The guy at reception was super helpful when we had trouble checking in. There were cozy spots to relax, including a great leisure room and a comfy TV area. It was a bit noisy at night, making it hard to sleep, but overall, I had a wonderful stay. 😊

we had a great time at bike & boot! the lounge area was super cozy with free coffee n cake, perfect for meetin fellow travelers. the room was spacious and comfy for our stay and our dog loved the fluffy mat they left for him! the staff were really friendly and helpful. the free movie room was a fun addition too!

only downside was the check-in process felt a bit impersonal with the tablet thing. also, the restaurant ran out of some drinks during our stay.

The small double room featured a quirky design, with sturdy furnishings that exuded a laid-back charm. Convenient proximity to local trails made it an ideal launch point for outdoor adventures.

Check-in involved a digital machine, lacking personal touch, which felt a bit cold. No wifi code in the room led to an unnecessary search for help, while the hospitality tray had just a couple of coffee pods—barely enough given the room rate. The mini bar contained mouldy cans, raising concerns about cleanliness. For a solo female traveler, being placed far from the main area next to a quiet fire exit felt unsafe and should be reconsidered for better guest placement. Noisy groups outside kept me awake, and busy road traffic made for additional disruption at peak times. Although it was clean, it seemed overpriced for the limited amenities compared to other options nearby with better breakfast offerings.

i had a wonderful stay at bike & boot! my small double room was really comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax after a day out. the food was fantastic, and the evening restaurant staff were super friendly and helpful. it's close to great walking and cycling spots, which added to the charm.

We loved the dog washing facilities and the cozy lounge to relax in after hiking. Super impressed with the mini fridge and the large TV.

i had a delightful long weekend in castleton at this hotel. the staff were incredibly friendly, and the dog washing facilities were a lifesaver after our hikes. the room was bright and fresh, and i loved the relaxing lounge area with free coffee and cake.

breakfast options were limited and pricey.

Great vibes and fab food!

We had a blast here! The location was spot on for exploring the Peak District. Loved the dog-friendly atmosphere, even though we didn’t bring our pup. The restaurant served really tasty food, and that free cake in the afternoon? What a sweet surprise! Just wish the mini fridge was stocked, though.

The hotel was quite modern and clean with a comfy room, but the automated check-in felt a bit tricky for me. The staff were friendly and genuinely loved dogs overall. Just wish the blind in my room was a better fit for those bright mornings!

great access to stunning peaks and historical sites

The hotel is just a short walk from beautiful spots like Win Hill and Peveril Castle, making it perfect for city strolls and exploring landmarks that capture the area's rich history. I also appreciated the comfortable room and the smooth check-in process, which made settling in a breeze. As a solo traveler, I found the hospitality pleasant, but the footpath from the station could use some improvement.

would stay there again

The small double room was super comfy with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, electric kettle, and a minibar. Loved the cozy lounge with free coffee and cake. Dog washing facilities were a game changer after hikes. There was a fresh and bright vibe throughout, and the restaurant had a good menu.

staying at bike & boot was awesome! the modern decor and quirky touches made our room feel special. we loved how dog-friendly the place was, especially with the free toys! the restaurant had a warm vibe and their non-alcoholic cocktails were a hit. it’s also a great base for exploring the peak district.

The food at the restaurant was spot on, with a great selection and the staff were simply fabulous, really keen to help. Love the cozy lounge spot to unwind with free coffee and cake after a long day!

A bit of a miss not having air-con for a new hotel. Plus, that banging door noise was a right nuisance at night, and that cheeky fire alarm flashing? Not ideal for a good night's sleep.
