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.

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.
Amos, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Lovely little find

Parking great, car park at the rear. Check in easy. Room 6 is a good size with 4 poster bed and large bathroom. Tea/coffee in the room, can be replenished from bar. Breakfast was filling and good selection. Friendly service. Hopefully we’ll be back x

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.

Anniversary Weekend

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.
Anthony, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The Red Lion holds a late licence which was not stated and we had two very disturbed nights including the outside light shinning through the thin curtains we had to check out early, the room was not very warm and as usual the lighting and mirrors were nowhere near each other . It was very clean and the food was good with a lovely real fire in the pub All in all very disappointed.
