Fantastic, friendly hospitality, great, delicious food, and a livable, comfortable room. The historic items on display remind you of the building's former history.

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 lovely, quirky place to stay.
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.

Anne
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.
Alastair
Our stay in the magistrate’s room was great, the room was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a treat and the location is good. Will be back.

Best Lock-up I've been in!
A wonderfully original place to stay. Lovely rooms, and excellent breakfast. A warm welcome awaits you here - I'll definitely be back!
Sara
Quirky, wonderful B&B
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

Great stay at character guesthouse
Really interesting place. Lovely and warm on a cold couple of days. Good location with pubs and shop within easy walking distance. Good breakfast. Good value for money. Would recommend.
Johnathan
Love how the history of building is still around and left on display and whole town is peaceful and historic. Have plenty of walks near by and good range of shops and restaurants in walking distance
Jamie
10/10 would recommend. I’d like to stay there again someday. Everything you need is provided. The owner is responsible and good people. Very satisfied.
Roy
We had the Magistrates room which was lovely,we had visited a few weeks earlier to have a chat with Tim the owner and have look around the town because we had a trip booked on the heritage railway closeby for my birthday.We had arranged with Tim for him to cook us a meal.The room had 2 slight faults one being the tv had very limited channels and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up but overall we had a great stay.
Julie
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.
Mr Glyn Denson
Weekend break to Wirksworth, Derbyshire.
Lovely, very clean accommodation throughout, with an old traditional feel about it. Choice and quality of breakfast excellent and cooked & served at a time of your choosing. Tim was a friendly and hospitable host. Also a great location for the town, heritage railway and surrounding area.
Elisa
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.

Eileen
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.

Peaceful stay
We had a very peaceful stay host was welcoming, our 2 dogs had enough space in the room. We had a fabulous breakfast served by Tim. We choose the Hayloft room this time but would live to stay again and try other room as they are different. Great breakfast times didnt have to get up really early. Lots of history information on our room about the hotel as it was an old police station.

Had a lovely 2 night stay at the Old Lockup. The Magistrates room was lovely with plenty of teabags and milk in a little mini fridge. The breakfasts were fantastic and the homemade bread was delicious.Ideal location for exploring the town and handy for Black Rock and Star Disk walks.

Lovely Get Away
My girlfriend and I stayed for a few days between the 30th of July - 2nd of August and we really enjoyed our stay, Tim was very accomodating and friendly throughout our visit and his breakfasts were simply brilliant. I would definitley recommend The Old Lockup to anyone looking for a nice quiet get away. The only dissapointment was that it seem to pass us by too quickly as I would have quite happily stayed the whole week. Also next time we can take our dog with us as it is pet friendly :)

Old lock up stay
Very clean b&b, could do with updating decoration. Bed was comfy, en-suite was clean. Very nice breakfast and attentive.
E Mullen
Great location and host
A quirky place to stay although the effect of Covid restricted some aspects that I expected, mainly sitting area both in and outside which whilst didn’t ruin the stay it’s fair to say it marred it. Comfortable bed and a very good shower were provided I would like to see a decent size TV if I returned. Tim the owner is very attentive and available his breakfast was incredible, we stayed 3 nights and 3 breakfasts were extremely delicious.
Verified traveler
Property is full of character. We stayed in the Magistrates Room and loved it. Breakfast was amazing. Proprietor, Tim, was very friendly and also knowledgeable re the local area and very picturesque walks. Will definitely be visiting again and possibly stay in the Solicitors Room next time. Definitely recommend.

Great place!
The Old Lock Up was a real gem! The bed was super comfortable, breakfast was delicious and Tim was a great host. We would love to come back!
Harriet
great place, only two things need attention.
The Old Lockup is a unique place to stay, alot of effort has been done to keep it authentic to Its history. An enjoyable place, Tim was a friendly host! We were in the Magistrates Room which was great (lovely brickwork), however the only thing we would say is the Mattress needs replacing (I still have a bad neck and back unfortunately from it) as the springs were close to the surface, and the bathroom door needs replacing! We appreciated Tim wanted to keep the bathroom door looking authentic to match the room but the lack of privacy for if you were wanting to visit the toilet was.....awkward! Breakfast was good too, and Tim was accommodating with our doggie Minnie-thankyou!
