An Oasis
The Old Lockup is a lovely place to spend some time. It is calm and relaxing. Tim, the host, is very helpful and cooks a wonderful fresh breakfast to order every morning. There is lots in the area to see and do.

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.

Weekend break to Wirksworth, Derbyshire.
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.
