Nice clean spacious room and en suite. Freshly cooked breakfast was delicious. Tim is an amazing host and you will be made very welcome. No lift so anyone with mobility issues may struggle on the right spiral staircase.
We loved our few days here.

Lovely stay here. Our room was spotlessly clean and tea and coffee were amply provided. Bed was amazingly comfortable and it was lovely to snuggle into.
Our host was welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and cooked a fantastic breakfast.

What a great, quirky find. So comfortable, I slept so well. I’m just sorry it was a working trip and therefore not able to appreciate my stay more. Tim is a terrific host too.

The Old Lock Up was clean,warm, and welcoming. I stayed for 3 nights in the Solicitor's room, which I found pleasant and characterful, with a comfortable bed and a good sized ensuite. It was very quiet with really thick walls. The breakfast was great and beautifully cooked. The property is well situated a short walk from the centre of Wirksworth. I managed it easily even with a sprained ankle. I had a very pleasant stay.

Had a lovely 2 nights, mid-week at the Old Lockup. Very characterful and full of memorabilia from when it was a police station. Stayed in The Magistrates room on the first floor, very warmly decorated and furnished with a small en-suite. With Tea,Coffee and even a small fridge with complimentary bottle of milk and water. Breakfast provided, from a full English to pancakes. Owner really nice, and accommodating - nothing would've been too much trouble. Free small carpark onsite, with a large free parking area across the road Given your own keys to come and go even you wish, the local are Wirksworth was lovely. Had a tapas and quiz night in the Hope n Anchor which was very relaxed and a good laugh. St Marys church is beautifully adornedvl with saxon carvings and definitely shouldn't be missed. Overall could not fault it, and looking forward to visiting again xx
