    The steep hills to reach the property are challenging, but the views make up for it.

    The location was ideal for our trip. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

    If we had realised we would have booked a room with a better view, we will remember this next time but this was our own fault.

    Clean and cosy room with a very comfortable bed. Lovely personal welcome, very informative welcome pack. Breakfast was amazing would definitely recommend. Local restaurant recommendations turned out to be excellent.

    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    Everything went above and beyond our expectations, we had booked the suite for our honeymoon trip and it was simply amazing. Sue was so accommodating with us as we had booked a good year in advance and even arranged for us to have some lovely treats in our room. Highlights of the room was definitely the bed and amazing bath, both were comfy and generous in size. The view from the room really shows just how close you're to Matlock bath and we couldn't of asked for a better location. Breakfast was lovely with a good selection of traditional foods. It really was a prefect stay and we felt very much at home, thankyou Sue.

    Parking spaces are a little difficult to manoeuvre into - just a note to any future travellers rather than a dislike.

    The location can be a little tricky to get to (you will need a car or taxi) as it is quite high up/ steep and narrow roads so be careful but because it is high up, you get great views, it is quiet and feels like a getaway from a busy city. The hosts (Sue and John) were very pleasant, friendly and hospitable. The room itself is clean, comfy and warm enough. The final bonus was the housekeeping and included breakfast (all locally sourced) which was cooked by the hosts. Overall, an excellent stay and would recommend to anyone else who is visiting Matlock/ Matlock Bath.

    Television could do with updating. The location is fine for fit people but on a very steep hill to drive on and walk 1 in 22 in places, round Sharpe bends.

    Hosts were superb along with the breakfast. The views across to Heights of Abraham are stunning.

    It's quite hilly but well worth it for the location and views.car parking available if you have to use the car.

    Sue and John made us very welcome. The accommodation was excellent. The Derwent Suite was pure luxury. Large room, roll top bath and shower. Sofa overlooking the views into Matlock Bath.. very comfortable, warm and nothing was too much trouble. Hope to return next year.
