Hodgkinsons Hotel Matlock Bath in Derbyshire Dales

Surprisingly in Matlock Bath there's little in the way of coffee shops! I was desperate for my morning fix, it was raining and we both needed a hot drink after our walk..My wife, said about going inside, The Hodgkinsons Hotel, as we were nearly out of options, I wasn't so sure, however we did. What a lovely surprise, once we went in. Lovely little table and chairs, in a charming building. We had a lovely coffee and tea here, served by friendly welcoming staff. I highly recommend this place...but don't tell everyone 🤫

We did not stay in the hotel - we had tea and cakes in the bar/cafe downstairs. Very good cakes - two of us had Bakewell tart slices, and one a slice of parkin - and it was also a very nice and relaxed space. Almost everywhere else in Matlock Bath seems to be a fish & chip restaurant so it was great to find a regular cafe!

We didn’t stay at the hotel but popped in for lunch and a hot drink yesterday with our dog. The service was amazing, super friendly staff and really knowledgeable about the history and the area. Would really recommend this family-run cafe and hotel.

Wow a little gem of a cafe nice friendly staff and I would recommend the backwell tart 😉

Lovely staff, giving time to visitors and a warm welcome

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in,the room was filthy,to the point that they cheated us out of another £160 when we left to clean the room,the filthy room we had stayed in. Avoid this place at all costs, disgusting.

Damp dark dank smells damp scruffy old hotel steep stairs outdated so dark inside no breakfast or dinner no bar depressing

Thankyou for a lovely two night stay in your gem of a hotel. It is a place that we have already recommended to family and friends. We are already planning our next visit as we could find nothing to fault. We even found the window view from Calke interesting. I did take a climb up to the terrace gardens and the view was fantastic. The wife did give that part a miss though due to being scared of heights. The two different types of breakfasts we had over the two nights were very tasty and we liked the pre order system. Thankyou to all the staff and I hope you will welcome is back in the future.
