Hodgkinsons Hotel Matlock Bath

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.

Brilliant stay, cannot wait to go back. The owner was so friendly. He has recently taken over so was telling us about the cave complex and tunnels they had just found. Very interesting. Lovely old room. Smelt lovely and clean. The breakfast was amazing! Very nice. I will be going back and recommending to all my family.

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.

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 hosts, they made us feel very welcome and looked after us while we were there. The hotel is quirky and full of character so if you're a fan of vintage style you'll love this. Breakfast was amazing also and the atmosphere felt like stepping back in time. Bathroom could use a revamp and a bigger shower. Small bits around the room could use a bit more dusting and/or mending. The room was very comfortable however and the bed was very clean and cozy. Location is great, you're right in the middle of the busy Matlock bath (on a summer day especially) and the fact it has free parking is ideal.

We dropped in for a drinks yesterday. We had a warm welcome, the coffee, hot chocolate and scones were lovely and arrived quickly. Lovely place, lovely people, we will be back.

I really couldn't fault this lovely hotel. Room was immaculate and spacious, plenty of coffee, tea and bottles of water. Lovely sitting area by the bedroom window to look out onto the river. Breakfast was fantastic with so much to choose from. I would highly recommend.

A lovely weekend stay at a slightly quirky (in a good way) hotel in Matlock Bath. When I stayed the hotel had recently changed hands, the new owners were really nice, the hotel lovely, the breakfast superb and they have some great-sounding plans for the place! Definitely worth a visit.

What a great little hotel! When you open the front door it is like stepping back into the Victorian era. Victorian/Edwardian antiquities adorn the walls and provide a very interesting and calming ambiance. My room was fantastic, see attached photo. The breakfast which was included in the nightly rate was voted as the best in Derbyshire and truly deserved that honour! If I ever need to be in the Derby/Matlock area overnight I will stay here. Say hi to Dianne if you get the chance to visit.

Made the trek up from Derby for dinner. Great place with a wonderful interior. The restaurant is very cozy and offers up appetizing dishes. The rack of lamb is delicious. Definitely worth a second visit when back in Derby.
