Both Sue and her husband were incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome from the off. My partner and I discussed whilst we were there that we would very much like to stay there again. The breakfast was delicious and the room was beautiful and clean. It was in a great location for us and the views at breakfast were excellent. All in all a perfect romantic get away and I couldn't have asked more of the host. thank you!
Nothing it was perfect.

Sue & John were very friendly & helpful, the breakfast was delicious, the view across the valley to the Heights of Abraham is marvellous and a great deal of thought & effort has been put into making the Gables a great B&B. It's a great place to use as a base for exploring the surrounding area, including the Peak District

The staff were so helpful and kind and could not do anything more for you. The food was amazing and such good quality for the price. Excellent location for us as we like to be out of the hustle.
At times we did find that the room would be cold.

But my husband managed it to take us up there

Modern, clean, professional, lovely hosts, plenty of towels, very tasty breakfast included in the price👍 we got a great view of the fireworks from the eliminations from the balcony, and the little helpers kept us entertained as well🫶
Not a lot🤷♂️ Room was small, but the bed was huge and comfortable😆 a couple with lots of luggage might struggle, but I’m guessing bigger rooms are available, I dislike fixed shower heads, but otherwise the shower was great👍 that’s it

Great location near Matlock. The hilly roads were a bit challenging but dont be put off by that. First class guest house, the room was excellent and all facilities are of a very high standard. Breakfast was excellent.
Sue and John made us welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
Car parking was ample but a little difficult, but car was safe at all times.

We were warmly welcomed and had super cooked breakfasts each day with a lovely fruit platter.. I found the bed and bedding very comfortable
We utilised their 6 mile walk map from the B&B which took us through some fabulous views. (The lounge area's view is directly opposite the Heights of Abraham cable cars).
It would be possible to walk into Matlock, but we were lazy and took the car!
For some people, the hill the B&B is on might not be attractive, but it was no problem for us

Comfortable room, lovely views, great hosts and wonderful breakfast.
The actual location of the property was up a very steep hill which would put me off going again, even though the B and B was lovely.

The property was clean, brilliantly presented and everybody was so welcoming. We had a nice space to park our motorbikes, the location is superb (including the view of Matlock), and it was perfect for our short stay. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

The location, very quiet and peaceful, attention to detail, breakfast was great, good choice given, Cromford 6 mile walk at the doorstep for anyone who likes walking, free taxi service to Indian restaurant pick up and drop off
Walls paper thin could hear other people talk loud in their room and making a noise, other than that it was absolutely amazing.

Great location on the outskirts of Matlock. Run by Sue and John who are excellent hosts. Breakfast very good and rooms comfortable. A pleasant lounge with stunning views. Car parking fine.
The site is located on a very steep hill, which wasn't any problem to us, in fact it added to the entertainment. However it may impact on guests with mobility issues.
It's a very quiet location which makes the stay very relaxing.
No major issues. WFI a bit on the slow side maybe.

Some noise breakthrough from room above.
Have to run hot tap few minutes to heat up.

Breakfast was amazing. The garden and outdoor seating with a view were beautiful. Sue and her husband are a pleasure and even made us a wonderful breakfast earlier than usual. We wanted to stay longer and hope to go back. The bathrobes were an extra measure of luxury. Loved it!
It was a little warm and could use a fan or air-conditioning in the upper back room. We went in the summer so this probably isn't a probably most of the year.

Very hearty breakfast and flexible to requests.
Beautiful and spacious suite.
Very good quality bedding and towels
Bedside lights hanging from ceiling were a little low as both my wife and I regularly hit our heads on the shades.
Road approaching is quite challenging - steep uphills and very tight corners

Great, friendly helpful hosts Sue and John.
Excellent accommodation, comfortable in a quiet location. Nice extras like fresh milk and big bonus having a fridge in the room. Very good gluten free breakfast, perfect for me being a Coeliac.
Lovely views across the valley.
Everything good.

The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. I have a handicap and the host very kindly cut my bacon up for me. The bed was lovely and comfortable. I was most impressed when I asked my host for information about taxis to take me to the station on my last morning and he said not to worry about it, someone would run me down. I also really appreciated the bottles of lovely cold water in the fridge. I would definitely recommend The Gables Guest House.
Thank you very much for a lovely stay

The Gables is such a lovely place. From walking through the front door, the hosts make you feel at home. The little touches like remembering our breakfast order & drinks on the second day & the breakfast was beautiful. We enquired about other rooms & we were shown round every room. This place is a little gem, along with the staff & I wouldn't hesitate recommending & would definitely return. Nothing at all to fault, a brilliant & relaxing few days away which is what we wanted.
Nothing to fault at all. We wished we could have have stayed longer.

Highly recommended. This is the best night of sleep we've had away from home that I can remember. They were also very accommodating with a vegetarian breakfast for us both, which was also delicious. It is also very well positioned to explore Matlock and the surrounding area. I have already recommended to family visiting the area.
In no way a compliant, but be aware the drive up is quite steep and a little bit twisty. Well worth it though.

The steep winding road was a tad concerning.

Sue & her husband were great hosts & extremely helpful. It's a beautiful bed and breakfast, with lovely facilities inside the building (plenty of room tea & coffee, a fridge with fresh milk & chilled water). Breakfast was delicious with plenty of everything.
The Gables is in an awkward location - this can be overcome by arriving from one direction & leaving going downhill on a very winding, steep road with blind bends. Not ideal.

Wonderful friendly and attentive hosts, sue who is front of house cannot do enough for you from providing advice and directions on how to make the most out of your stay. Beautiful cosy rooms, fully equipped with teas coffees biscuits water and milk. Delicious breakfast cooked to order (with amazing poached eggs and fresh fruit platters) in a beautiful location with breath taking views - what more could you ask for. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely gorgeous view from our window, food was amazing. Hosts are friendly, willing to help at any time. Easy access into town but most importantly, it was quiet. We don't like noise at all especially at night or early morning.
I wish we stayed more than 2 nights

Wow, what a lovely place. The accommodation is perfect, our hosts were very welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. As soon as we arrived we were offered a drink. The breakfasts were stunning. All ingredients were locally sourced. Our room was very comfortable and very clean. The views from the property were stunning. We have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful B&B. Thank you Sue and John, for a fabulous stay.
