The Old Hall Hotel, Buxton
Parts of the Old Hall date back to the 16th century, making it one of the oldest hotels in England still taking guests, and it sits on the Square directly opposite the Pavilion Gardens and Buxton Opera House. It's a 3-star hotel with a 4.2 Google rating from close to 900 reviews — solid rather than flashy, which tends to be the trade-off for staying somewhere this old.
