Kate & Alan, B&B hosts are a formidable team. We enjoyed a large, clean room, gigantic breakfasts and snack friendly tea/coffee trays. The B&B is situated closeby to Matlock shops, easy driving access to Haddon Hall, Bakewell, and walking up a very steep hill, a handy pub. The best bits were Kate's breakfast starts...not crazy early, Alan's route walk suggestion... More

Three of us stayed at Sheriff Lodge for 4 nights in May. From the moment we arrived, we felt that we were in a home from home. Our rooms were comfortable, spacious and well looked after. Breakfast is really special with so much choice and the cooked breakfast was plentiful, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. I have stayed in... More

We stayed here over the Easter holidays, during the week of all the snow and ice - we were greeted by Gemma and her partner, whilst Kate and Alan were having their own holiday in Norfolk, and treated to a very welcome cup of tea on arrival, after what felt like a long snowy trek from the station (really it...

One of the reasons we picked the B&B was because of the excellent ratings and we certainly weren't disappointed. The room was great, comfortable bed, lovely big bathroom and beautiful views. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever eaten in a hotel and B&B - the homemade bread was very yummy. More than anything Kate and Alan... More

A warm welcome, helpful, knowledgeable & accommodating hosts, splendid breakfasts, warm rooms in a cold April, a comfortable bed and a splendid shower - what's not to like? My best B & B. Bill Gridley

We booked at the last minute to stay for a weekend at the start of January. When we arrived we realised that a lot of the activities we had planned were closed for winter but Kate and Alan came up with lots of alternatives, even offering us their bikes. They know the area really well and made sure we got... More

We stayed only one night but would definitely go back anytime. A warm welcome from Kate who showed us to our room and offered us refreshment as soon as we arrived. She is also full of information about local restaurants. Our room was lovely and the bed was both massive and oh so comfy! (My partner is 6ft 7 and... More

A very warm welcome from Allan and Kate, a really first rate place to stay. So refreshing to have your expectations more than exceeded when visiting a british B&B. Smart, comfortable, quirky/funny rooms. Excellent food, especially the home-made bread and marmalade. The recommended local pub (The Sycamore) provided excellent food and beer. What more could you ask for? Thank you.

Took other half here for a weekend break, what a lovely place, would definitely recommend. Ideal for touring the area, and made very welcome, breakfast lovely and made to feel completely at home by Kate and Allan. We will definitely be going back.
