Small but perfectly formed

Wonderful stay in a very clean small but perfectly formed B&B …..if in this area again we would book this place again in a heartbeat. Overall - breakfast, large, hot and more than enough for most appetites, B&B very clean, room large enough for two adults no problems, the room is warm and we had a great nights sleep

Mind the drop

Convenient position, great cooked breakfast, walking distance to 2 pubs. Only downside, ensuite is 8 inches lower than room and quiet a step down, need to be careful at night.

Ideal location for exploring Matlock and area

A 6 minute drive to the park and ride for illuminations. Parking in front of the b and b which is in a small village. Very clean comfortable room with both bath and shower. Local pub a 4 minute walk with a village shop behind b and b. As this is attached to a tea room excellent breakfast

The room is immaculate, there are nice touches like ground coffee and a french press, first time I have had this even in £500+ a night rooms. There is plenty of free parking on the street outside. The only thing to be mindful of is that there is a big step both into the room and the bathroom for those with reduced mobility like myself - this is in addition to the 6 steps i was aware of. There is no aircon or fan so we opened the bedroom and bathroom windows and it was fine. Old school air con! We couldn't connect to the TV with our phones for netflix etc, however in the end we had a quiet night, which was much more relaxing and enjoyable. So this is not a bad thing, switch off, relax and reconnect. Enjoy a quiet country walk instead or chat to your loved one! I highly recommend the local pubs, especially the Barley Mow but please book if you want one of their amazing pies. Real cider to die for! Breakfast is between 8am and 11am (checkout time) and this is served in the tea rooms below. There is a good menu and you can get a full english (both vegan and non), or granola if you prefer. Plenty of teas or coffees to choose from. I had the small breakfast plus black pudding and it was more than sufficient, the full breakfast would set you up for a full day's walking without any problem. Staff were very friendly and coffee nice and strong. Having reserved tables was also a bonus. Overall, I would recommend.

Quiet, clean and comfortable - a lovely getaway!

We booked both the rooms so it felt a bit like our own unit to ourselves. The instructions for our arrival were clear, and it was easy to park outside. The rooms are lovely and the bathroom is really well appointed, but we would have liked some hooks to hang the towels and/or any wet clothes, or instructions for the heated towel rail - yes, it rains in Derbyshire! There are lovely walks right from the doorstep, and Bonsall is really near to Cromford and Wirksworth (where we were attending a wedding) as well as Matlock Bath. The village is quiet (this is a positive for us!) and everyone we met was really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast in the popular tearoom downstairs was delightful :) Would recommend.

Lovely breakfast served by some lovely ladies. Convenient for attractions in Matlock. Parking was an issue but we discovered as we left that there was a village car park which we probably could have used.

Relaxing stay.

Exceeded our expectations, location perfect and accommodation had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Loved having breakfast in the tearoom down stairs and the ladies who served us were lovely, friendly and helpful. Our only disappointment was that we stayed Monday night and missed being able to eat in the tearoom as it is closed Mondays. Would certainly hope to visit again and stay longer.
