A friendly family run pub which seemed a vibrant hub of the community. Good food, good beer and a comfortable bed. Perfect for a few days in the area.

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.

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

The location was good.The room furniture was well worn and tatty chair no fabric on the arms.The ensuite appeared to be new.Staff were friendly.They were changing the menu so food choice was limited. Breakfast was ok.

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.

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.
