The Red Lion was a lovely for me and my partner, we had an amazing stay. The staff at the pub were lovely, especially Aviva who was so friendly and helpful in the restaurant. I give four stars only because the price was a little unreasonable for the time of year (mid-November) when many local attractions are closed. Otherwise I could not recommend this place enough for a lovely weekend break.

Cost and comf

On arrival I was greeted by a lovely young lady who showed me to my room and made sure that I had everything that I needed. The room was pleasant and well kept. It was spacious and comfortable. The en-suite was nice and the shower powerful and hot. The included breakfast was delicious and service couldn’t be faulted. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Matlock.

Short stay

Very spacious room (no 6) , great food we enjoyed the Sunday carvery and a fantastic breakfast. Very relaxing atmosphere and lovely little town. Just be mindful if you are a light sleeper, it’s near a busy road and traffic starts around 5 am, otherwise would recommend and would be happy to return if in the area.
