Lovely staff through out - reception/bar and kitchen. The food is tasty and portions are generous - the XL BBQ ribs are actually XL! The rooms are clean and spacious with a will sought out lay out. While the link to the rooms from the bar could do with some refresh, the facilities in the room are great. My room.had a view of Riber Castle, it was lovely making the connection on my hike. I enjoyed my stay.

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.

A friendly family run pub which seemed a vibrant hub of the community. Good food, good beer and a comfortable bed. Perfect for a few days in the area.

Can not fault the Red Lion at all, booked to stay for our wedding anniversary and we couldn't have asked for anything better. On arrival the staff were friendly and helpful and I could see that they had ensured procedures were followed with respect to maintaining our safety. The room exceeded expectations, even better than the pictures depicted. Plenty of space and the room was clean and tidy ready for our arrival. We booked to have the breakfast and the food was wonderful and more than I could manage, we didn't partake in the main menu but I have no doubt that the food will meet the same exceptional standard as breakfast had been. I would highly recommend a stay at the Red Lion, ideally placed if you want to explore the countryside that Derbyshire has to offer or perfect if you just want a couple of days away.
