Traditional pub hotel in central Buxton with live music and locally brewed ales

Amenities

The Queen's Head Hotel operates a lively bar that serves locally brewed ales from various local breweries. Guests have access to a games room with a pool table and darts, plus evening entertainment including live music on weekends. The hotel offers a designated smoking area and outdoor furniture in the courtyard, with a private entrance to the accommodation annex that bypasses the pub.

Rooms

The twelve en-suite bedrooms are located in a separate block behind the pub, ensuring quiet despite the lively bar. Each room has a satellite TV with Sky Sports and movie channels, a desk, wardrobe, tea and coffee facilities, and an alarm clock. Rooms are accessed via a key card system through a rear garage area, with ground-floor options available.

The town of Bakewell is within a 20-minute drive, and nearby attractions include Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall.

Dining

A traditional full English breakfast is served each morning with options for porridge, fruit juice, and toast; vegetarian alternatives are available. The bar offers a selection of real ales from local breweries along with wine, champagne, and spirits. Special diet menus can be requested, and breakfast can be ordered the evening before for early departures.

Entertainment

Live music takes place most weekends, with bands playing ska, punk, and rock genres on the pub's jukebox. The bar has multiple large screens showing sports matches, and the atmosphere includes a pool table and darts for guest use. The beer garden is closed after 9pm to keep noise away from the rooms, while the pub itself remains open until 1am.
