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.

A comfortable and interesting place to stay.

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.
