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.

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.

We had three nights D, B&B here and were pleased we did. The Old Lock Up is very comfortable and clean and the owner is a good cook and also very friendly. As a result we had excellent evening meals. There is time limited street parking outside although unrestricted parking is allowed between 16.20 and 09.40. Wirksworth is an ideal centre for seeing the southern parts of the Peak District National Park and for visiting the nearby World Heritage Site at Cromford.
