pub with rooms room was clean but the twin room was small comfy beds kettle tea coffee peaceful nights sleep no noise from the pub, food average breakfast ok only given white toast never asked if wanted brown just orange no choice of juice bacon was very good good asmosphere in the pub good service and plenty of choice of wine and ales from the micro brewery would stay again if back in matlock

few bickys on the tea tray for if peckish on arrival otherwise no complaints

Lovely new bathroom. Lots of electric sockets. Nice meal. Helpful staff. Good location.

The intermittant smell from the drains.

Great food as always.

Friendly reception, convenient for locations I wanted to visit. Very good breakfast. Loudest thing in the room was the water sprinklers outside.

TV screen a little small for the size of room.

only had one breakfast ; would have preferred to have some fresh fruit or tinned fruit on offer apprecoated the fact that the hotel is now set back from main road so didn't suffer from traffic noise. Its locastion for me, given I was visiting family was very good.

Room was Ok but above front door and front seating area. Disturbed by people chatting loudly below. However i was not there at weekend when it might have been worse. In terms of value for money i have yet to some to terms with cost rises. It still seems a lot to pay for a single room without breakfast when the room and bathroom are not cleaned or the bed made up daily and one has to seek out any additional supplies of tea / coffee etc.

Food, drink staff rooms breakfast All perfect!,

Nothing

Breakfast is very good. Short walk into town.

All good no dislike

Great friendly pub in centre of Matlock with friendly staff. Nice double room with comfy bed. Good breakfast with cereals and cooked options including full English.

All good

I really liked this hotel. It's in a great spot, an easy walk into central Matlock, the bar is great, the food is good and reasonably priced, and for the most part the staff are very friendly and work really hard. The hotel is clean, shower is good, plenty of clean towels etc.

This hotel would have been rated very good or great but for the beds. The mattresses were so cheap, thin, worn and uncomfortable that a decent nights sleep was just impossible. A homeless shelter would reject these. I have stayed in flea pits, hostels, YMCA's etc. all around the world but I've never slept on such poor mattresses. I woke up with back pain both mornings. I did report it to the staff but the best they could come up with was to fold a spare duvet and put it on top of the mattress as some form of mattress topper. This did not make any tangible difference. It might sound a bit harsh to rate the hotel low because of one fault but if you have a terrible sleep for 2 nights running, it will tend to affect your whole weekend. Also, the picture in the profile shows a room with a 4 poster bed. This was one of the reasons I chose it. Our room was very small with twin beds. You cannot sit in this room because you only really have the beds to sit on (see above). On the whole, I would not pay the price we paid for this room, it does not represent value for money. Breakfast included, this is a £50-60 room, nowhere near £100, though we probably paid a surcharge due to the fact it was Easter Weekend.

The hotel was easy to find. I was on foot, so had time to follow directions! Breakfast was good. Plenty of it!

Can't think of anything that I would have improved on for a short stay.

The Red Lion for us had everything, friendly staff, comfortable room, delicious food, it is a great locals pub and is close to the town centre. We had a great winter weekend escape and will definitely stay here again.

Nothing.

excellent Breakfast and dinner.

Could feel the bed springs, wasn’t a comfy bed.

Being in a pub/restaurant was convenient

The shower was a bit dated and sprayed me in cold water as the shower head had a loose fitting

Really enjoyed our stay, staff were so friendly, Norma was so lovely, the food was delicious. Room was lovely and warm Thank you

The folder in our room was tatty, needs upto date leaflets and menu. Also bottle of water in the room would have been nice.

Excellent location, very friendly staff and good food. Comfortable room with four poster bed. The bonus was the micro brewery on site which brewed excellent beer.

Everything was fine

It was perfect for what we needed

Nothing
