Oct 25 - We stayed for the illuminations/fireworks in Matlock Bath. The hotel is an easy 5-10 walk into Matlock Bath. So location is great We stayed in room 14 a superior room. It's in the eves of the hotel with quite low beams. The bed was round which was a suprise but comfy. There was a good TV and coffee/ tea making facilities. The bathroom was very open, the shower is over the biggest bath ever however it has no shower curtain or shower door, so the floor gets soaked. The toilet is also not in a private room which was odd. There are walls but it is not enclosed. We all need some privacy!! Apart from a few cobwebs the room was clean and big. It was a shame that breakfast wasn't included, so we ate elsewhere. On the whole a nice hotel

The High Tor is a bizarre hotel. It's shabby, the decor is baffling, and it seems to be staffed when they feel like it. Despite advertised breakfast hours of 8am-10am, the restaurant was locked and reception deserted: clearly nobody could be bothered to get up. The bedroom itself was small but passable. Most depressing was a card on the first floor landing thanking staff for giving them such a lovely honeymoon! Anyone bringing their partner here for their wedding night should expect to have divorce papers filed the next day. Ultimately, there's a reason this hotel is among the cheapest in the area. It was a memorable experience, but not for the right reasons.

I know Matlock Bath well and have stayed locally a couple of times. I’d seen High Tor but never considered it. I know regret this as it was really rather good. The room was well-appointed with all mod cons including a fab shower in the en-suite. We dined out but probably should have eaten in as the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Access was easy and the parking more than adequate.

Parking area was fine except for a few who parked outside the marked areas and made exiting difficult. Room was comfortable, one chair had wobbly legs and didn't feel safe otherwise fine. We did not have breakfast so can't comment on it. Staff were very friendly and helpful
