The room was comfortable and quiet. Tim was a good host, very helpful and friendly and cooked us lovely breakfasts.
Wirksworth is a delightful town with lots of history and beautiful surrounding scenery.
The Old Lock up was conveniently located in the town.Tim was a welcoming host. the rooms were comfy and clean and the breakfast perfect. We will visit again and would recommend to others
Great room, v clean and tidy and Tim was really friendly. He was also great with our nervous dog! Breakfast was lovely and the location perfect for us. Would definitely stay again.
Our stay at the lockup was great Tim was a great host and the breakfast was A1 the room was very comfortable and warm and cosy. If we are in the vicinity again I would certainly stay again.
First class had a great time even the weather didn't spoil it.
Really interesting place. Lovely and warm on a cold couple of days. Good location with pubs and shop within easy walking distance. Good breakfast. Good value for money. Would recommend.
Love how the history of building is still around and left on display and whole town is peaceful and historic. Have plenty of walks near by and good range of shops and restaurants in walking distance
10/10 would recommend. I’d like to stay there again someday. Everything you need is provided. The owner is responsible and good people. Very satisfied.
We had the Magistrates room which was lovely,we had visited a few weeks earlier to have a chat with Tim the owner and have look around the town because we had a trip booked on the heritage railway closeby for my birthday.We had arranged with Tim for him to cook us a meal.The room had 2 slight faults one being the tv had very limited channels and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up but overall we had a great stay.

We stayed in the Magistrate's Room, which was a good size, with a comfy bed. Lovely and warm too. Tea, coffee and milk provided. En suite was not up to my expectations. Louvre door to toilet, so no privacy. Electric shower didnt have much gusto. Toilet seat didn't stay up. Very small room. Needs a redecorate too. Decent breakfast, but not exciting. Host very accommodating and provided a takeaway breakfast roll for one of our mornings.
Lovely, very clean accommodation throughout, with an old traditional feel about it. Choice and quality of breakfast excellent and cooked & served at a time of your choosing. Tim was a friendly and hospitable host. Also a great location for the town, heritage railway and surrounding area.
Great host, attentive and helpful. Gave us good recommendations on where to start our walk on the High Peak Trail and where to dine without taking the car.
Good room, well appointed with everything one needs plus some little touches like fresh milk and water in the fridge. I travel a lot and there are plenty 4 star properties that don't even give you a bag of tea. Recommended.
