Oakhill Hotel Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

Delightful location, gardens are lovely and impressive views of surrounding countryside. Fresh craft beer, good quality food. New staff member Reuben served us and was friendly but professional. Decent portions and prices reasonable for the overall set up. Only slightly odd aspect is we were originally told that there was no availability. But this was perhaps an hour before the place filled up. In the end, after enjoying our drinks for half an hour, we were told that the chef could squeeze us in.

Visited for lunch with my mum, we had the lunch time deal which is available currently and it is really good value (buy one main off bar menu get one half price). I had the seafood grazeboard and it was delicious!

We have just had an excellent lunch at Oakhill restaurant, which has a wide choice on the main and bar menus. Selection can be made by mixing choices from each menu, and we recommend taking the option of smaller portions, as the portions are very generous. The food was delicious, the table service was very efficient and friendly, and the price of the meal was very reasonable.

We had a lovely lunch today in the restaurant. The scampi and fries were very good as was the vegetable lasagne, garlic bread, fries and salad. The desserts were good too. The restaurant is quiet with windows to the gardens, the staff are friendly and helpful. Oakhill has lovely location surrounded by beautiful gardens. It has a handy, adequate car park.

We enjoyed a birthday lunch together in the restaurant. The bar menu has a super choice. I enjoyed my halloumi skewers although there was too much food for me with flat bread and French fries included. A smaller portion would have been better. My wife's scampi was great. The hotel itself is set in beautiful gardens. It's a lovely place the be and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. We will return. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g1925621-d25273912-r968298428-Oakhill_Hotel_Restaurant-Cromford_Matlock_Derbyshire_England.html#

We booked a table here for a late Sunday lunch after our afternoon trip on the Birdswood canal boat. We are a large family so there were 11 of us at the table in total. I don't really know what we were expecting but our experience here was such an unexpected and very pleasant surprise! Oh my goodness what a memorable meal this was and for all the right reasons. Despite extensive ongoing renovation work here we were shown into an immaculate and rather lovely, comfortable dining room and our drinks order was taken without fuss and quickly brought to the table. After this, beautifully presented, perfectly executed hot and cold tasty starters, mains and desserts were delivered with great care in a timely yet unrushed fashion by three utterly charming young staff members. Our experience here was exceptional in every way and we would like to thank you for the lovely food and attentive service which was deeply appreciated by all of us. We would love to come back here again and highly recommend. Thank you all so much.

We had our wedding reception and guests stayed for the weekend. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves - the food was fabulous. The staff were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Very friendly and welcoming. They were also a great help in the preparations and run up

I live nearby and have eaten here several times previously. The dining experience has always been good, but this time it was even better. The dining room has been tastefully redecorated and it has a very pleasant atmosphere. The service was efficient and friendly. I had dinner with my adult daughter and we were both very happy with our meal. I had "Parmesan and Herb Crusted Chicken" and my daughter had the "Rib Eye Steak". Both were well cooked and well presented. The food was plentiful without being too much.

Have dined here quite a few times and generally have been very pleased. But oh dear.....our Valentine's dinner was not up to standard. We specified brown bread with our prawn cocktails and this was well past it's freshness date. Both our main courses were not up to scratch....although our sweets were okay. Service to be fair was pretty good......but the cost of £45.00p. per head was not good and was poor value.

On Monday 11th Dec we attended the Matlock Lions Christmas dinner along with perhaps 25 others. The menu choices were varied ( we had chosen in advance) and the food quality was very good indeed. The young waiting staff were friendly, polite and efficient and they managed to serve us all hot main courses in a short space of time. All in all, a lovely group meal dining experience.

We have always been happy with the friendly Sunday lunch food and lovely staff. We booked today for a treat lunch. I rang at 12 noon on Thursday to book-an answering phone message was in place, a lady rang back and wr booked for 2pm today. We arrived - no booking!!! The wine order was wrong, the lunch arrived without Yorkshire puddings (they were in the menu), coffee arrived before the puddings. After waiting 25 minutes still no pudding, so I asked the waitress - it had been totally forgotten and she said the order was still sitting on the pass, so we declined pudding. What a stressful Sunday lunch, never been known before. The restaurant was virtually empty and there were plenty of staff around. No chocolate mint with the coffee as there usually is. What's gone wrong? The waitress just took a small amount off the wine. She left the card machine on the table while she went off to do another job. I printed a receipt myself, I was waiting for Basil Faulty to appear. So sorry things appear to have changed so much as this used to be a friendly and relaxed place to partake of Sunday Lunch.

We really enjoyed our evening here. Delicious food. Great service. Lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed a drink in the garden after the meal. We will definitely be back.

This place is now my favourite eating place, great food at sensible prices. Staff are polite, helpful and smartly dressed. There is adequate parking , the building itself has undergone substantial improvements. Bright, clean and very inviting. Only problem now it's getting too busy! Well you can't have everything!

This restaurant is part of the Oakhill Hotel and is set in a pleasant quiet location. Care is needed accessing the hotel drive via a narrow lane and junction. We ate here whilst staying at the hotel for two nights and had breakfast and dinner on two days. The menu provides a good choice and our specific dietary requirements were well catered for by adjusting some ingredients, where possible. The breakfast is served rather than a buffet, which adds to the relaxation, when time is not critical. The food for all meals was excellent as was the service, although dinner service on the second night did not match the level of the first night. There was a different set of staff and whilst they were friendly and pleasant enough, they did not appear to be as highly trained. Nevertheless, we would still visit again

We were here for Sunday lunch & although the menu is limited it covers all bases. The sea bass was a particular highlight. Service is friendly & efficient. A visit in better seasons would take advantage of the extensive back garden.

Mum's 91st birthday lunch, a lovely varied menu with great options for a smaller appetite, including the daily specials. Our choices included the special chicken and chestnut mushroom pie, steak and ale pie as well as gammon steak lighter bites, left a bit of room for dessert and coffee! Super atmosphere, friendly service and excellent value, highly recommended!

A great venue for lunch and dinner. Also a nice place to visit for coffee and cake Always a warm welcome from the staff. Can recommend the light lunch. Great value at under a tenner for a tasty plate full. Can heartily recommend the liver and bacon!!! A nice garden to sit in when the weather is suitable.

Following our daughter’s wonderful baby shower last month which was lovely we booked the festive menu dinner with friends. The food was excellent with a traditional Christmas atmosphere, all the staff where just lovely and made us most welcome. Thank you Oakhill see you in the New Year !

We had a meal here the food was excelent, A good price for what you got. Service was very good, job to find any faults if any. Will go again if we want something special. Nice lounge to have coffee after.

Sunday the 6th of November we celebrated our mums 91st Birthday at Oak Hill, Cromford for Lunch. Fabulous house and gardens within walking distance of Cromford For an old building it was surprisingly warm, cosy with a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were lovely, the food was amazing I was asked by my Mum - (make sure you put an excellent review online) This has never happened before - we have been out many many times with Mum and no place has pleased her so much. We will be coming to see you again soon. Thank you

We have dined here four times in the last ten months the most recent being the 6th and 10th September 2022, and we are touring the locality wining and dining!! The venue, staff and food are fantastic only supported by how busy it was on a Tuesday and Saturday. I had the focaccia to start and it was exquisite, followed on both occasions with Lambs liver, a brilliant ensemble of Liver, black pudding mash and bacon crisp a real delight. Not to be missed if in the area, enjoy.
