No heating in the room as the temperature began to drop slightly - but it's only September. Only a continental breakfast available (as advertised) - a cooked menu would add value.

Good location and a comfortable room. Dinner was very good.

Hotel fine - but a little tired and dated

Staff brilliant. Garden room really good.

Room was too hot!. One window could only open slightly, the bathroom window not at all. Sparse on little extras like bath shampoos etc. No hangers near main door for coats. Overall, little storage space. The hotel building still needs ongoing updating. Lido/changing facilities need improvement & tennis court resurfacing.

Location perfect within greenery & gardens. Staff very helpful. Bed comfortable & twin room space fine for two friends sharing. One of us used the Lido which was the highlight of the stay. This is a lovely hotel which is gradually being updated after many years of neglect.

There was no valence on the bed Door the balcony was stuck and didn’t lock properly. Lampshade on bedside table was stained. Breakfast was a shambles- everything kept running out. Staff weren’t very organised.

Rooms were comfortable and clean

This hotel needs some refurb . Paint chipped everywhere. Blinds on the widows were broken and untidy . Breakfast was continental and plentiful . Tried to get a bath as the shower was over the bath , but didn’t work . So had to fill it from the shower that took ages . The hot tub in the spa wasn’t with going in as the jets were rubbish . This hotel could be beautiful with a little TLC

Friendly staff. Spa was nice . Staff again were lovely . Location was superb for Matlock.

Great wedding venue, with accommodation for medium sized celebrations.

Too many steps up to room. Bathroom fan noisy and no grab rails when showering and no bath mat but I’m sure they would have provided one but I forgot to ask. Lido pool had leaves and other stuff floating in it. Did not dine at the hotel so can’t comment on the food. No entertainment on in the bar until I requested some music on. Quilt cover on the bed looked a bit grey and had marks on it and the sofa was stained. Think there may have been staff shortages overall.

Junior suite room large with a good view. Staff very friendly in particular the lady from South Africa who served on in the bar on Thursday night.

Poor breakfast. Staff could benefit from some customer service training. Mostly oblivious to guests needs sometimes boarding on rude though perhaps not intentional. Faulty Towers esque customer service lol Room pleasant but could do with deep clean & decor refresh.

Beautiful location & wonderful historic building.

Very dusty in room , needed polishing the dust was embedded I think. The T.V. Control was filthy really needed a sanitizing clean. Especially with the New Strain of Covid starting up again. We weren't served at the breakfast table for breakfast, i.e. pot of tea & coffee. as a member of staff hadn't turned up. Though the Continental breakfast. was lovely.

Having a room suitable to our needs. Ground floor where we could park our car outside the room. We are disabled mobility etc problems. The large window in the room was inspiring where the gardens & the swimming pool were shimmering in the sunshine. very peaceful .

The hotel was tired looking and the reception was slow. Breakfast could have been more inviting.

Liked the location and the spa facilities were available if wanted. The restaurant was good.

Stayed in September 2023

Shame no cooked breakfast as the continental was a bit disappointing!

Food was good at night in the restaurant. Pool was amazing!

Stayed in August 2023

The only thing that was disappointing for me was the coffee at breakfast, it wasn't the best at all. I think maybe invest in a proper hot drinks machine.

We stayed in a family room which was spacious and clean. We particularly liked the balcony, somewhere to sit and enjoy the warm weather, and although it looked directly over the pool area it was still relatively private. There was plenty of choice for breakfast.

On the second morning, there appeared to be a shortage of staff serving at breakfast and the topping up of milk, butter and other items was slow.

Good location and lots of parking. Good choice at breakfast.

false advertisement regards the room and the appearance of the actual block where our room was

false advertising The pictures don't show that your room is actually in a block at the back of the main building "This looks like something from 1970s Butlins, holiday camp" However, the room was spacious, clean, and a reasonable size this is the only reason we didn't demand a refund

The food was disappointing. My wife's Caesar Salad was made to a bizarre recipe, bearing little resemblance to this classic standard. My fish finger sandwich was bland, dull, and meanly filled. To be fair, though, the chips were excellent. Breakfast was very limited, with self-service in a cramped and gloomy little side room. The coffee was nasty. This is a great hotel, let down by its poor catering.

A great bedroom with a balcony overlooking the pool, huge, extremely comfortable bed and a large bathroom. All spotless. The thermal, spring-water pool is a treasure.

Exterior is a bit tired looking but nothing major.

Excellent location. Good sized room with a large bathroom. Staff all friendly and helpful.

There was stains on the carpet and in general the hotel is a bit dated,

We had a garden annex room, so we were able to park literally outside our room, so it was easy to take our bags in.
