The Sitwell Arms Hotel

Such an amazing weekend spent at The Sitwell Arms Renishaw to renew our wedding vows. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was so well organised and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were so helpful the food was beautiful everything was so clean and well presented. We couldn’t fault any part of the whole weekend would highly recommend this place we will definitely be using them again!!

Brilliant stay, the staff were all so very kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotless and comfortable. As for the food, the only trouble I had was choosing what to eat from such a delicious menu. Can't fault anything, which is unusual for me.

Nice welcome at reception. Great food, with good choice for the 3 course included dinner. Bedroom recently decorated, although shower needs attention. Think that new wardrobes and cupboards look nice, but will easily be marking as no place for putting hot drinks despite providing teas/coffees and kettle. Also room was extremely hot, even when all windows opened for whole stay. No fan available in room.Bed appears new, however is too low, even for one of us who is only 4ft 11inch tall.

We booked a 1 night stay here, using a voucher that I had purchased for my partner as a gift, when we checked it, it was made clear by the receptionist that we had used a voucher, this made us feel uncomfortable due to his attitude towards us, like we were having a free stay or something, we still paid for the voucher and had to pay £10 on arrival as a booking fee! The room was simply terrible. It felt dirty, hadn’t been hoovered and there were moth’s flying around the room. The bed was awful, ready for the tip, could feel every spring and it was on a slant, we placed a drink of the bed side cabinet and it slid off. We were visiting to go hiking in the Peak District, unfortunately after a terrible night sleep we had to leave in the morning and drive home due to being exhausted. Breakfast was not nice, cold and the restaurant was dated, and again felt dirty. Very limited choice, stated there was pastries and croissants however when we asked where they were we were told there are non. We asked to speak to someone when we checked out but our views were not listened to, I emailed on return and received no reply. Please do not waste your money staying here, this hotel ruined are break away and I would hate for it to do the same to someone else. If anything good can come out of stay it would be to warn others not to make our mistake. I wish I had of read the reviews before booking as it’s clear others have had the same issues as us, yet the staff looked shocked when we voiced our views on check out. Avoid!!

We went as a family over the weekend for dinner. The food was nice but over priced as small portions. There was a dj playing clubbing music which meant it was hard to hear each other talk. Had a nice playground for kids. Felt more of a drinking pub rather than a restaurant

We booked an over night stay for my partners birthday with a voucher and we were treat like voucher rubbish sadly. We arrived and the room had an issue about being not on the system and after some discussion between 2 receptionists we were told “that’s ok you’ve got a room upgrade” to find it wasn’t an upgrade we were lied to and sadly the lying ruined the stay as well as the poor quality of the room. (We saw the room we were ment to get as the room door was left open so we took a quick look to see) We made the most of what we had but sadly it worsened. We ate in the restaurant and unfortunately an hour and a half later I ended up with dioreah and my partner a bad stomach. The breakfast the next morning was ok and nice to get the restaurant to ourselves. Most of the staff were pleasant some were not as friendly. Very sadly the stay Overall was unpleasant due to the lying and the poor quality of the meal and room.

Received a "Buy a Gift" voucher and this was one of the hotels we could book! A little skeptical, as we usually prefer modern hotels, however we were pleasantly surprised! The room was a little dated, however very comfortable and had all that we needed. The food was delicious! We had the 3 course dinner menu, and there was not a single thing we would fault with the food at all. The same for breakfast - lovely food. The staff make the hotel, they are super friendly and helpful, and seem genuinely interested in wanting you to enjoy your visit. Would highly recommend.

Stayed overnight last night after attending our friends wedding. What an amazing day and everything ran so smoothly. The sit down meal and the evening buffet were exceptional and the staff worked their socks off all day. Special shout out to Laura who was so lovely and friendly. Room was a little tired looking but very clean and comfortable. Slept well even though it was a late night and we lost an hour during the night due to the clocks going forward. Would have been nice if breakfast could have been extended for an hour just to save having to get up so early!!

The Sitwell Arms is situated right by the Trans Pennine Trail, which was very convenient for us, as we arrived by bicycle. Although they don't promote cycle storage facilities, they were able to accommodate our bikes securely on this occasion. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which was very good; the a**osphere was also surprisingly good for a Wednesday evening. Efficient & friendly staff - all good! Thankyou.
