Staindrop Lodge Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

I booked the accessible room. I was so surprised to see such a spacious room! Almost double the size of a standard room. It was brilliant because it was so easy to manoeuvre my wheelchair. I don't know why people have left a low rating because it deserves better. People forget this is a budget hotel and are far too critical. There were tea and coffee making facilities, better than what I've had in places more expensive. I chose to stay here because I was on a training course next day in central Sheffield and I couldn't afford the high price for a stay during half term weekend! The bed and especially the pillows were SOOOOOOOOO comfortable! I was lovely and warm. The shower...I've never seen such a GORGEOUS shower anywhere else. However, I emailed the staff saying that for a disabled person, there needs to be grab handles and somewhere to sit under the shower head as the seat was at the other side and the shower hose not long enough. They said they would look into it. They were knowledgeable about my Assistance Dog too. The TV was fine, easy to watch from the bed. There was no view out of the window but given its location, I wasn't expecting anything. I paid £55 a night. Also, it's close to a bus stop because I came by bus from Sheffield station, a pleasant 40 mins ride. I'm definitely going back and I have no hesitation recommending this hotel. It would be a good base to explore the Peak District by car too because accommodation there is rather pricey. Just one thing. The bed is a double bed. They said it was impossible to change it for a twin room. I would recommend changing the bed so that a twin can be put together as a double (I've seen this in other places) because disabled people often travel with a carer and there's no way they would share a bed!!!! I'd love to return with a friend but the current arrangement makes it impossible.

Great welcome, room good size, plenty of electric points, clean and airy, bed really comfortable with great pillows. Bathroom spacious and clean toiletries and towels provided. TV connected to WiFi great choice of programs to watch. Food and service exceptional. Will return and recommend.

Staff were friendly, but you get what you pay for. Unfortunately the website shows some amazing food / breakfasts, but this was not the case Breakfast is a full English or nothing - someone sent sausages back as they weren't cooked properly, and I nor were the fried eggs (my son had offered to take us for breakfast and I wish I had taken him up on it). I woke looking forward to an Eggs Benedict. When I asked if there were any alternatives I was told no. No cold buffet or anything else. The website needs updating, at the least. Same with the evening food - very poor choice compared to the websites offerings. Room was very large and empty - had to ask for a chair and hairdryer. States soundproofed walls, but sadly unable to sleep because neighbouring room had TV on until late
