High Tor Hotel

Boutique Hotel located between Matlock and Matlock Bath - Under new Management since October 2014 - New restaurant Opened February 2015 'Artist's Corner Restaurant'

Very Disappointing

Reviewed By Z4019JFjoh

Never again will we visit. This is no boutique hotel and to be honest Travel Lodge is better! At least they don't give you decrepid damaged furniture! Food was awful in the restaurant so don't spend your money!! Breakfast was dire, cardboard croissants ...horrendous papercups and coffee out of machine. Bathroom dirty cold ....

Great room staff ok

Reviewed By laurajayne1611

Just returned from a 4 night stay at explorers retreat, we stayed as a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids). We stayed in the promenade rooms, the rooms were very clean and I would definitely recommend the promenade over the higher priced rooms as you have a little courtyard with a ping pong table. However we had a few things that we were not happy about, one been the heating kept going off and we had to go to reception 2 out of the 4 nights to advise the staff about this. Also, the kids couldn’t play ping pong as they had ran out of balls and we were told they’d buy some tomorrow although that never happened. The other issue we had was a few of the staff members, the young girl on the bar upstairs permanently had a face like a wet weekend in Blackpool, no manners either. Another older lady on reception didn’t seem to have a clue what she was doing, we went to buy park tickets from her and she said that we had to buy them at the park. I knew this wasn’t the case so I called the main gullivers helpline and was advised we got them from reception. When we went back to tell her, she had to ask another staff member, after about 10 mins of them trying to work out how to do it, she brought over the card machine along with her mobile phone and accidentally paid, she proceeded to say “oh sh*t”, not very good while our children were stood there and at accommodation that is aimed towards children! Other than that the rest of the staff were friendly, the entertainment team especially were helpful and polite! It would just be nice if management invested in some training and advised ALL their staff that manner cost nothing!!

Only does continental breakfast for 6.50 a head comprising croissant piece of fruit pain ah chocolat jam and butter orange juice safe to say I didn't get that. On the plus side bed was comfy and the room was really warm wouldnt book again though.

The Duke of Wellington

This beautiful 19th Century former 'Drovers Inn' and 'working farm' now finds itself a cosy, traditional country inn. Our inn has recently been redecorated in a traditional country style that provides a warm and comfortable atmosphere for both drinkers and diners alike. The extensive floral gardens offer comfortable seating areas, as well as a fully enclosed heated patio area overlooking 'Riber Castle and the Derwent Valley'.

An absolutely great.

Reviewed By alannC5067JD

I just cannot believe the reception we received. We were shown to our room which was very nice little room. After settling in we went into the pub for refreshments where we met our host for the week. Kerry was exceptionally welcoming, big friendly smile and introduced us to other staff members. There was not one thing that any member of staff would not do. All the food was superb, be it breakfast or evening meal, all of it freshly cooked and presented. My wife and I tour often and have never been made more welcome anywhere. We were celebrating joint birthdays and also wedding anniversary. We were totally surprised to be given breakfast in bed in the morning. Make no mistake that next time we are in the area we will be returning. A great big thanks to ALL the staff, wishing you continued sucess

Very dusty place. Not a nice, welcoming place. Hosts was grumpy and couldn’t be bothered with any comments made. Breakfast was very poor quality ingredients. Definitely wouldn’t recommend or return. Much nicer places nearby and much better value for money.

We stayed for our anniversary weekend and booked into the lovely Derwent Suite which has a huge picture window with views right up to the Heights of Abraham! The room was very comfortable, especially the bed! We both slept very well. Breakfast was home cooked with locally sourced produce and was excellent. Sue and John are excellent hosts and made us feel quite at home. Thoroughly recommended.

From the moment we arrived Roger was an excellent & attentive host. The room had everything we needed including a travel cot for our baby. We found the bed very comfortable and we got a great nights sleep. The cooked breakfast in the morning was superb. Location is also perfect making this a very clear 5/5 for us.

Jubilee visit

Reviewed By Peter E

We had a two night stay over the Jubilee weekend & we were very pleased we had chosen Sheriff Lodge, as we could not fault anything. Ziz is so very friendly, her attention to detail is impressive. She obviously loves hosting & meeting her guests, we felt very at home & relaxed the whole time. The room we chose (The Dray) was spacious, spotlessly clean & the huge bed was so comfortable. It is just a few minutes walk down the hill into Matlock, so the location is perfect for us. The breakfast experience was excellent & the choice is really good, it was served very quickly too. We were told by another couple that the afternoon tea was amazing, but we didn't have time to try this ourselves. We have booked a return visit in September & we are having afternoon tea next time for sure! We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Matlock after this visit!
