Hodgkinsons Hotel Matlock Bath in Derbyshire Dales

If you like olde worldy, youll love this hotel however, also bear in mind that to access the top floor rooms, you'll need to climb 45 steps every time so it's not for those with mobility issues. Our room entitled Mayfield was nice but did not deserve to be called deluxe or exceptional and, whilst there was complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits and water, the milk was out of date and curdled the tea and, there were no tissues so you had to blow your nose on toilet paper. Although not the owners, the couple who run the hotel were friendly and accommodating and their breakfast choices were good as was its quality and presentation. Unfortunately however, because there is no bar or restaurant available, you are forced to brave the elements on foot or by car and find somewhere else to patronize every evening. The hotel is well situated to access the numerous places of interest in the locality and there is free private parking albeit up a very steep hill so, drop your bags off at the hotel before you park up.

Amazing , historical hotel and Cave Cafe . Excellent service and food . Highly recommended 👌.

Very good-sized and comfortable rooms. An excellent selection for breakfast and ideal for getting out and about in north Derbyshire

Only had a cuppa at this little gem. What a gorgeous place. The fixtures & fittings were fabulous. The woodwork was fab. Please don't ever change yr quaint glorious property. I loved it. C Byers. Suffolk

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.
