The themed rooms were so cool, the kids loved them!
It was a bit hard to find. We couldn’t stay in the theme we wanted cos the wifi wasn’t working and of course none of the other amenities like food were open but that’s what you get when you visit in the middle of winter!

Beautiful views, lovely room, our 7 year old child loved the decor. Extremely quiet in December as all was shut. We had a lovely time regardless, thank you
The heating was for some reason controlled from the reception. We couldn’t regulate the temperature. We were visiting in December.

Staff were very helpful, kids loved the games room which you can bring your own food into and they had a film playing whilst we ate our takeaway. The shower was so powerful & they let us leave our car parked on site whilst we went exploring to save driving round looking for a car park.
Rooms are on the small side and the double bed was just 2 singles pushed together which was uncomfortable.

Quiet location, working TV, plenty of pillows and towels. Decor and set up great for kids.
One ground floor room booked had an offensive odour. Management offered to clean the room which would not have helped as very strong throughout the unit.
We booked 3 rooms and all could do with clean shower curtains. In my room both cups were unwashed - had dried sugar stuck and stains at the bottom and the bathroom sink was blocked.
Was hard to find in the dark. We were unaware we had to press an intercom on a wall next to a barrier at the bottom of a hill to gain access.
Also unaware we could not get breakfast here.

Apartment was really charming and beds extremely comfortable. All nice and clean. Good space. The website photos don't do it justice! Good parking area. Really quiet but also a great base for nearby town centre.
If being picky, shower gel was empty and we couldn't work out how to get the cooker hob to work, but nothing bad to spoil our trip.

No Hot water as controls too complex. Lots of faffing around to check in. Far too many sales emails pushing upgrades. Car charging no longer available. No invoice for vat claim.

Convenient location. Clean.
We had not realised that the beds for the kids was in a small box room.
At the games room there was no football for the table football. There was not much to do for a long rainy evening. TV did not work properly. No youtube

We stayed in a Princess room. It was perfect for us and 3 grandchildren. They loved the bunk beds and balcony, which we watched the fireworks at the river from.
Staff were fabulous. Very helpful, nothing too much trouble. Kids entertainment in the evening was fun. Small playground to amuse the kids while we packed etc.
We walked down to the town and river, which was very steep, but very doable, even with a pushchair.
Great place, we had a ball, can't wait to come back.
Too many lollipops given out as prizes in the eve entertainment, sorry, but stickers or equivalent would be better please.
Everything else was great.
Also...sorry, just remembered, the water in the hot taps is extremely hot. Watch it.

Location brilliant. Staff very friendly,helpful and overall excellent. Food was a fair price and very enjoyable. Overall will stay again if needed accommodation in the area.
Larger selection in the bar, but can't complain as it is a young children that are mainly based around.

We stayed in a pirate themed room and our daughter loved the theming.
We noticed little mice painted on the walls, by switches and plugs in the room and our daughter really enjoyed finding them - a really lovely quirky touch!
The bathroom was clean and modern.
Breakfast was reasonably priced.
The room had a bit of a damp/musky smell to it - it wasn't terrible but it was a bit off putting.

We always enjoy staying here, the views are amazing, the staff are always so friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Plenty for the kids to do. No doubt we will book again in the future. Love Matlock Bath
There’s absolutely nothing we dislike. Maybe offer a cooked breakfast.

The location was good, the staff were friendly.
The property was damp, the sick was connected to the toilet so it was difficult trying to clean your teeth.
