Excellent all round. From the delightful building & generous, well equipped room, to the enormous bed & the quality linens & feather pillows, things couldn’t be any better. Breakfast was wonderful; there was plenty, all good quality and extremely tasty. (The eggs Benedict was awesome, wonderful chunky marmalade on excellent toast with proper coffee rounded it off nicely.) The owner was charming & as sociable as we desired.

Only downside was that because we arrived by train, we walked up the hill to Sheriff’s lodge & swore “never again”! After that we got taxis instead, as the hill is only for the fit and able.

Sheriff House was easy to find with and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious and Ziz was really helpful with anything we wanted. The room was spacious, beds really comfy and towels, bedding, toiletries & tea/coffee were good quality. Although we didn't use it, there was a lovely outside area too.

Sorry, but we loved everything, if I had to put something I would suggest that the outside porch was swept regularly as everything else was spotless. Although this may already be done but with so many trees nearby, I can imagine this is a thankless task.

location in a fairly residential area set above the town (about 15 mins walking distance) was perfect for us. private car parking off road. beautiful house & our bedroom was delightful - multiple windows, gorgeously decorated, fresh carpet, warm radiator, HUGE comfy bed, classic bathroom, quality towels, house slippers, delicious freshly cooked breakfast, wonderful welcome from host Ziz, very attractive planted garden... we LOVED our stay & very much appreciated the lovely bedroom. Would happily return.

being picky - perhaps decaf tea/coffee option in the bedroom but there were several teas to choose from & even a coffee bag.

Lovely character property with a really pretty garden. Our room was tastefully furnished, everything looked fresh and clean, and there were lots of thoughtful little extras from the sweets on the side to a box in the wardrobe filled with “things you might have forgotten.” The towels were thick and fluffy, and the pillows and mattress incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was very good - quality fresh produce, all well cooked and nicely presented. The property is in a very good location just a short walk from the town centre, station, park and shops.

No complaints at all

This is the best place we have stayed in Matlock, and we have been many times. The whole place exudes elegance and quality. The owner has restored the building and the rooms, very sympathetically to how it would have been in its original existence as a Gentleman's home. Owner Ziz, has a discount scheme going with some lovely restaurants in the area. Which was really beneficial to us, as these are the places we love to eat in Matlock!! This was our first visit to this hotel, but definitely NOT the last!! It is one of the few places in Matlock that has on site parking available, which is a premium in this busy town.

The only thing I didn't like, was the fact we had to go home!! We could have stayed for much longer, work permitting!!

Sheriff Lodge is such a lovely property, located in the picturesque town of Matlock. Our room was so cosy with a big comfortable bed and very sweet decor. The towels and sheets felt very expensive and the room was very warm when getting up in the morning and going to bed so we felt very looked-after. Ziz could not do enough to help us and accommodated our early check-in. She also provided local recommendations and the most wonderful breakfast!!! I saw it in a lot of the other reviews and the breakfast is just as good as everyone says, you have to try it.

Had a lovely couple of days at Sheriff Lodge. Ziz couldn't have done more to help, both before and during the stay, with really helpful recommendations about where to eat/go generally. Room was lovely and spacious with a big, comfy bed. Breakfast was also delicious, thanks! Location is great for walking into Matlock, and it's easy to get to by car (less than w10 minute walk from the train station if coming that way).

We enjoyed our stay at this charming house, Ziz was a very helpful host, sharing her local knowledge and arranging tickets for Chatsworth House for us. Breakfasts were lovely, lots to choose from and very well presented. Sheriff Lodge is within walking distance of the town, walking back up the steep hill afterwards was a bit of a challenge!

It was a little chilly in the evening, so a small heater in the room would have been useful. However we didn't request one and one might have been provided if we had.

Great location, the food at breakfast was delicious, the house is stunning, beautiful period features and decorated sympathetically. There is a short walk into Matlock, steep hill coming back though. Very easy drive through to Bakewell. We really enjoyed our stay, the bed was enormous and had good quality bed linen and towels.

Nothing

We were offered a multi choice breakfast, everything we had yoghurt and very fresh fruits followed by scrambled eggs and smoked salmon excellent and generous.

Room was fine not large but more than adequate Furnishings fresh and tasteful. Shower room clean and well maintained, towels lovely and fluffy. II would have preferred a slightly softer pillow but not enough to complain.
