Great breakfast good location limited parking but they have permits for the public car park.

Parking

The location of the hotel was amazing, we could walk to nearby attractions. Our room was so charming and comfortable. It was a perfect getaway even in winter. Very cozy and warm. Breakfast was delicious and had many options to choose from. The parking was an added bonus. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Nothing, everything was great.

they was nothing to dislike

Hodgkinson's Hotel is situated on a busy main road in the centre of Matlock Bath. There is limited parking for 4 cars in an adjacent road and up a steep hill. This is manageable if you have a good level of fitness. You can drop your bags at the hotel first, although you will be on double yellow lines and blocking the road. The Hotel is a beautiful character building, both inside and out, so understandably the interior can look a bit tired in places.

At the time of our visit, the hotel was being operated as a B&B, with the owner, Chris, only appearing when the bell is rung. There was also no chef, so the meals were cooked by Chris himself. The food was "Okay". Not something that you would complain about. But it was pretty bland and not restaurant standard. I agree with other reviews, that this hotel is more of a B&B. Fortunately, there are some really nice restaurants within walking distance, where you can enjoy really good food at reasonable prices. On leaving we were overcharged by £36. But once we brought this to Chris's attention, the issue was swiftly rectified.

Full of interesting memorabilia. The restaurant is small & cosy with a nice snug area for pre dinner drinks. The quality of the food is excellent.

Parking is very limited.

I booked only this week for 2 nights bed and breakfast over New Year... the hotel is beautiful - traditional Victorian. We enjoyed the New Years Eve dinner too and the festive menu also. The food was exceptional. We will definitely return, maybe in Spring/Summer.

absolutely beautiful period property

Very attractive old hotel with many historical features intact. Great breakfasts! Comfy lounge for an evening drink with open fire. Very warm rooms especially for a cold weekend.

We loved everything, the hotel was very clean, comfortable staff were very hospitable, and the food was excellent, we are definitely going back in the near future, thank you to Chris, Zoe and your lovely staff

We couldn't find any faults, apart from where the car park was and only enough room for about 5 cars, but even that wasn't an issue.

Great host. Lovely breakfast. Excellent location. Nothing not to like!

The decor off the hotel,the superior double room,breakfast,staff.

The break was,nt long enough for us the hotel could not fibd a fault.

The hotel is quirky and fabulous just as we had expected, the breakfasts were very nice too with plenty of choice. The customer service very good, with all staff being very attentive and courteous.

The shower was a little tight to be honest but given that in the Victorian era showers didn't exist, we were happy to have one! :) This is a minor detail, it was a delight to stay in this very authentic hotel and would absolutely stay again.

Location was excellent

Bar prices quite high

Our hosts were perfect, the breakfast was super, room and little touches were excellent. Parking pass when the hotel car park was full. Found us a spot in the restaurant, when it was full, by shoehorning a small table near the bar.

The room was really comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. Our hosts were really friendly and accommodating and we had a superb dinner in the restaurant.

The location was very convenient but there was a lot of road noise during the day.

Breakfast and accommodation both great. Service and people lovely.

Only minor quibble. Parking location up steep narrow road and no guarantee that place would still be there on return.

Hodgkinsons is a lovely hotel, oldy worldy, with all mod cons, made a nice change from modern samey hotel chains. Couldn't get more central. Hosts were great, v helpful. We arrived on my partners motorbike and we were able to leave our bike stuff pre check in and post check out so we could go and explore, which was really helpful. Breakfast was first class too. Would not hesitate to stay again, thank you 😀

Nothing.

Owners were very friendly and informative, the hotel was full of character and charm added to which there was a beautiful garden which unfortunately owing to the time of year couldn't be seen in it's full splendour.

Couldn't find any faults.
