Dining Options

The inn serves traditional pub food, focusing on 28-day-aged Derbyshire beef for steaks and grills. A roast meat selection comes with seasonal vegetables, homemade Yorkshire pudding, and gravy. Breakfast includes freshly cooked items with extra toast and tea available. Specials like '2 meals for £15' offer affordable dining.

Leisure & Activities

The hotel is near an 18-hole golf course with views of the River Derwent. A private fly-fishing beat on the river is available for lessons. The floral gardens have seating areas and a heated patio overlooking Riber Castle. Events include quiz nights with free snacks.

Location & Attractions

The inn is 60 km from Nottingham and close to Matlock attractions like Gulliver's Kingdom, Chatsworth House, and Peak Rail. Nearby landmarks include Bentley Brook (0.5 km), Matlock Meadows (2 km), and the Peak District Lead Mining Museum (3 km). The Heights of Abraham and Life in a Lens Museum are also nearby.

Services & Extras

Secure bike storage with CCTV is available for cyclists. The inn hosts quiz nights and seasonal events. Breakfast is served until 6 pm. Rooms have key access, and the stable block ensures privacy. The surrounding area offers walking trails, with Matlock town a short walk away.

“This historic hotel, crafted from Derbyshire limestone, struck me as a cozy base for exploring local attractions such as Chatsworth House. I noted the inn's extensive gardens and its surprisingly convenient quick-service dining, especially appealing after outdoor activities. I think it's a particularly good fit for families and cyclists.”
