The property has a wow factor. It is beautifully decorated and has kept the Victorian era throughout. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The breakfast is plentiful and cooked fresh to order. The staff are friendly. Unfortunately the bar and restaurant were closed but it did not spoil our stay.

Loved the decor of the hotel, we stayed in Calke room. Hotel chosen as situated within easy walk to Heights of Abraham event we'd booked. The hotel's Restaurant wasnt fully operational but this is shown on their website. Some hot food was available though Fri & Sat evening and we had very tasty meals. But there are loads of other eateries nearby. Good choices for breakfast as well. All in all we had great weekend with lots to do in the area. We enjoyed the live music at Fish Pond pub short walk along the road also. Would strongly recommend.

Travelled as a couple on weekend break for Matlock illuminations. Hotel has an excellent location, parking(although up a very steep if short incline). It’s an old building, so floors bit uneven but decorated in accordance with its period, so beautiful if that’s your thing as it was ours. If you want the sameness offered by a Hilton, then go to one, this hotel is unique, you can see it immortalised on photos we saw in the Heights of Abraham exhibition from the 1800/1900’s . We had a fabulous stay, staff were lovely, welcoming and their evening menu was delicious, as was breakfast. We will be coming back. Still so much to see in the Derbyshire area, so why not stay here.

Nice place, pleasant people. Food was good, car park is about 100 yards up the road which is really steep! One space for each room though so can always get parked even if it is a bit tight. Room was big and comfortable. Only thing I would offer as a bit of constructive criticism is that the breakfast room needed some music. It was too quiet which makes for an awkward silence when there’s several tables.

Room lovely. Bin in bathroom had something on the top of it so didnt use it as hadnt been cleaned. Lovely drinks assortment in room. Cafe was closed in hotel thought didnt know until after arrived and couldnt use back garden as per advertised online as they said overgrown. Had to wait outside until check in time passed with other disgruntled guests. Lovely breakfast though, but was (5 mins) early for allocated first time slot booked

The hotel is in a lovely building, retaining original features with the café area displaying some original items such as the cash register from 1882. The room key is also a traditional type which I liked. The room had a lovely original fireplace and very comfy bed. The pillows were so comfy I checked the label so I could get some for home. The breakfast was great, all good quality ingredients and well cooked. The scrambled egg was especially delicious! The hotel has parking spaces available at the top of the hill next to the hotel. Note the hill is quite steep and may not be walkable for people who are less mobile, however there is also parking on the main street. The hotel is in the middle of the main street and easily walkable to the main attractions, shops, bars and restaurants.

Loved the old building, our room, the friendly helpfulness of the staff..Also, the convenience of the location. A little disappointed that TV in room didn't work despite our re-tuning. It seemed to be an aerial problem. Additionally one of bedside lights wouldn't come on. These are not complaints just observations so that they can be put right for next room occupant. We did report them at the end of our stay.

It was our 19th wedding anniversary and a last minute booking. I couldn’t fault the hosts despite their upset with renovations not complete before our arrival. This was no fault of their own. The room was perfect. Very clean and the attention to detail was greatly received . The period features that was so fitting to a period property was very well presented.

The hotel is full of character. The room “Calke” was small but absolutely perfect for us. Being at the back of the property it was very quiet even on a Bank Holiday Sunday. Breakfast was excellent, with loads of choices. Amelia, the receptionist/manager was delightful, helpful and cheerful in every way. In fact all the staff were wonderful. We’d absolutely return.

It’s an old building, so floors bit uneven but decorated in accordance with its period, so beautiful if that’s your thing as it was ours. If you want the sameness offered by a Hilton, then go to one, this hotel is unique, you can see it immortalised on photos we saw in the Heights of Abraham exhibition from the 1800/1900’s . We had a fabulous stay, staff were lovely, welcoming and their evening menu was delicious, as was breakfast. We will be coming back. Still so much to see in the Derbyshire area, so why not stay here.
Travelled as a couple on weekend break for Matlock illuminations. Hotel has an excellent location, parking(although up a very steep if short incline).

The hotel is in a lovely building, retaining original features with the café area displaying some original items such as the cash register from 1882. The room key is also a traditional type which I liked. The room had a lovely original fireplace and very comfy bed. The pillows were so comfy I checked the label so I could get some for home. The breakfast was great, all good quality ingredients and well cooked. The scrambled egg was especially delicious! The hotel has parking spaces available at the top of the hill next to the hotel. Note the hill is quite steep and may not be walkable for people who are less mobile, however there is also parking on the main street. The hotel is in the middle of the main street and easily walkable to the main attractions, shops, bars and restaurants.

Very nice hotel and welcoming staff would definitely stay here again. surrounding area is good for walkers. Lots of fish bars and cafes but no convenience store spar co-op etc however matlock is 2 minutes away by train. Not a cheap area to eat out but where is nowadays.

The property has a wow factor. It is beautifully decorated and has kept the Victorian era throughout. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The breakfast is plentiful and cooked fresh to order. The staff are friendly. Unfortunately the bar and restaurant were closed but it did not spoil our stay.

Very friendly hotel staff. Location is great as it’s right in the heart of Matlock Bath with parking. Quirky interior. Great breakfast made to order. Would definitely recommend it!

Loved the decor of the hotel, we stayed in Calke room. Hotel chosen as situated within easy walk to Heights of Abraham event we'd booked. The hotel's Restaurant wasnt fully operational but this is shown on their website. Some hot food was available though Fri & Sat evening and we had very tasty meals. But there are loads of other eateries nearby. Good choices for breakfast as well. All in all we had great weekend with lots to do in the area. We enjoyed the live music at Fish Pond pub short walk along the road also. Would strongly recommend.
