My husband and I have just returned from a lovely short break and stay at Peak Edge. The staff at the hotel, were all professional, super friendly and efficient. The hotel, is modern, tastefully decorated and super clean. Perfectly well placed for visiting the local area. Our ground floor room was really very pleasant, overlooking the pond and highland cattle (and two calves!) in the field behind. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the shower very good. Breakfast had everything you could possibly want to "Break your fast" and the hot options, were varied and beautifully prepared and presented. I am afraid I have had to knock off 1 mark, for a couple of niggles, which probably wouldn't bother many people. We ate in the restaurant twice in 3 nights - on our first night my husband had a rib eye steak and "triple cooked" chips. Although the steak was cooked to his preference, he felt the steak probably wasn't a rib eye, it didn't have the veining you would normally expect from this cut and looked more like a fillet, no veining or deeper beef flavour, the chips looked like they were fresh out a freezer bag and didn't have the golden crispy outer edge and fluffy inside that one would expect from a chip of this description. I had Halibut, which was beautifully cooked, but the "fondant potatoes" were just little golf balls of potato tossed in a bit of butter and all the veg were insufficiently seasoned. Both meals were delivered on cold plates. For £180 - including a good bottle of wine - it was a little disappointing. On our last night we ate in the restaurant again, the meal was much better, my husband deliberately didn't have chips this time, but we did notice another table had them and they looked much more like "triple cooked!!" Again both meals were better on the seasoning but delivered on cold plates. We did wonder if perhaps on the Thursday night the head chef was on day off. The decor in the hotel, although tasteful, is very generic - there is the same picture in the bar as in our bedroom and it feels a little uninspired and "job lot of highland cattle prints?" There are no USB sockets in the plug sockets in the rooms and we hadn't taken our plugs with us. We have travelled all over the world and perhaps wrongly, expected this in our room. Even Travel Lodge in the UK have these, although by no means am I comparing Peak Edge to one of these hotels! It is just a little thing that some travelers are not expecting to have to worry about anymore. Finally, I overheard an elderly lady in the restaurant in the morning arranging to meet a friend in the car park and then to drive her somewhere. They left just before we did and as she pulled out of the car park in front of us, there was furious beeping of horns, as a car screeched to a halt on the road. As we left we realised that when turning right onto the main road, the A frame that you have outside is in a place that makes it tricky to see what is coming from the
