“Fabulous quirky hotel”
+We had a fabulous overnight stay at this quirky hotel that is full of history. You are greeted by a friendly host, Rob who is on hand to do all he can to assist. There are many interesting artefacts and framed pictures from the past. As well as the above, the rooms are beautiful and very tastefully decorated according to the period. The huge bed is very comfy, perfect for a good night's rest. Breakfast is excellent served in a lovely dining area. All of this and you are in a perfection location in the heart of Matlock Bath, close to pubs, restaurants and perfect fish and chips. Car park is free for guests. Cannot recommend highly enough! Excellent value!

“Incredible unique hotel”
+A really warm welcome on arrival with a fresh coffee made for us. The room was so comfortable and peaceful. The hotel is truly stunning and unique. An absolute time capsule. The bed was incredibly comfy with excellent quality pillows. Spotlessly clean. Extra tea, coffee etc on landing should you run out. Breakfast was first class, cooked to perfection and plentiful. First time we have stopped here and it will not be the last. The new owners have only been there for a few weeks, but everything was perfect. The restaurant will be opened up again in the coming months, and we wish them the best of luck. We had such a great stay, happy memories made.

“Can’t wait to come back!”
+A wonderful experience from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for the amazing hosts- including a very warm welcome when we arrived super late at night due to car trouble! Fantastic breakfast and great room with the perfect view of Matlock Bath from two viewpoints! A lovely quirky hotel in the perfect location.

“Absolute gem of a hotel”
+We spent a lovely night at this hotel last night, and were really sad to leave. The welcome we received was very friendly and genuine. The owner made us a fresh coffee to take up to the room despite there also being plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room already. There are a lot of stairs up to the rooms, but we didn't mind as on each landing, and in each little alcove there were dressers or shelves with interesting characterful ornaments and decorations. I could have spent an hour just enjoying taking in the decor. Some of the doors, stained glass windows, and lamps are beautiful. I real gem of a find, and it will definitely be our hotel of choice from now on when we stay in Matlock Bath. If you stay for bed and breakfast here, make sure you are hungry. The portions are very generous and delicious.

“Lovely owners but wouldn’t return”
+Positives: Owners were wonderful and clearly care a lot. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order - a real bonus of this place and deserving of praise. Room was clean and large with some very pretty furniture and touches. Nice views. Interesting history with a cave aspect. Lots of fascinating curios the owners have collected, almost museum like. Negatives: This is difficult as the owners were so nice, but there were a lot of issues. Shower was coming off the wall and large water leak marks. Toilet didn’t flush properly. Wardrobe too small to hang a shirt and close the door. Very uneven floor. Significant number of stairs which we don’t mind but no warning of this and if we’d brought relatives with even minor mobility issues it would have been unusable. Also slippery carpet on stairs, slipped even wearing trainers going slowly. Parking up very steep hill and can be incredibly tight. Matlock Bath is also an interesting place, like a seaside pier (about 7 fish and chip shops in a row and large arcade and little else), without the sea. We strongly considered moving hotels even though it would have meant paying twice. It could be much better place with some changes. We had friends wh
