Very friendly owners who made us feel welcome. All the staff were helpful and cheerful. Couldn't fault the food. Had dinner from a varied and reasonably priced menu.Can recommend the steak pie made with their own ale. The full English breakfast was one of the best I have had. My husband was very impressed with their beer . It's a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere and we left wishing they were closer to us!

We struggled with the shower cubicle in our room as it was a very high step up and we both have mobility issues

The location was a nice walk into the main town which meant it was quiet but easy to access the bus station, shops & pubs 🤗 It was handy to get a parking space & we could see our car from the room. It was handy to go to a train station (where my husband dropped me off the day we left) then I got the train to Manchester to catch a flight. Lovely area & something for everyone..

The croon is starting to look a little tired in places so maybe 🤔 have a look at a little update where needed.

The room was quiet for a busy pub. Service was efficient even when busy. The choice of food was good and well presented. The beer was good, and with on-site micro brewery, you could choose their own or other brands. Whilst the bedroom was not the largest provided all that was required and the ensuite shower was good with toilettes provided. Comfortable bed. The breakfast provided a good choice

Our only criticism was at breakfast, and the service was slow but could not complain what was on offer.

Meet and Greet was spot on , shown to room . Any other bits fully explained. Breakfast was lovely and I must comment the bacon lovely. The food on the evening was fresh and tasty. I also enjoy a nice Ale and this place brews their own beer, Plenty of choice of fine ales (and wine, have to keep the wife happy). Overall prices were good for everything. location only a few minutes walk from the town and the football ground next door. Nice walks in the area without using your car.

We only had 2 nights and wish it was 2 weeks.

The breakfast was probably the best I have had. Breakfast is breakfast surely but the Red Lion got the basics right. Quality ingredients, freshly cooked served piping hot. Simple so why can't everyone do this? The pub itself was well stocked with a variety of drinks for everyone, quality wine, beers and spirits. Family and dog friendly environment, superb bathroom and excellent restaurant menu. The place to stay in Matlock.

Good Breakfast. Located on a road junction but that wasn’t a problem and I’m a light sleeper. They brew their own Beer (Moot Ales) which is next door. I had the Blonde beer which was great. Locals drink here too. Which to my mind is a good recommendation. TV worked fine in bedroom and car parking on site. Evening meals were well cooked and of good quality. I had a chicken dish which was great. We will be back.

The accommodation, comfy bed, the staff, very relaxed atmosphere, very good ales, food was excellent...and we're coming back to see Denise, the banter was great. We loved Matlock itself too.

There was nothing we didn't like, although did struggle with unlocking and locking the door to our room until we got the hang if it lol...
