Matlock

We visited for a weekend away. It was slightly difficult to gain access, no initial answer to ring door bell and no answer to phone number but we did receive a call back and was gained entry. The gent who greeted us was very friendly and gave us a little tour and basic information. Hosts do not stay on sight, only for meet and greet, however they leave all means of contact and are not far away. This was lovely as we felt relaxed, as if no one was on our backs eg maids etc. you have to preorder breakfast via a slip and I was so humbled that each request was actioned. On our 2nd morning I asked for marmalade, and they must have known I loved the orange juice the day before so they had left a extra jug on the table which was so kind. The whole building and rooms are beautiful , not absolutely spotlessly clean if you investigated throughout however to a very high standard . Sadly the bed was too soft for us but that could be as we are a little more than average weight. I’m going to add out negative view here as do not want to finish on one, we feel a mini fridge or a communal fridge would be a good touch, even if guests had to pay a little extra. We spent so much money getting cold and fresh drinks before coming back to the room, and it would be nice to have somewhere to store snacks or alcohol if need be. The building and garden is so well kept, our absolute favourite part was the riverside where you can sit so close and enjoy the peace , and look for wildlife. I cannot express how much we have enjoyed our visit, I have come away feeling calm, uplifted and refreshed. It is such a hidden gem, I kind of want it to stay that way to protect it ! Thank you so very much x

Absolutely gorgeous venue- do not miss!

Myself and my wife were attending a family event in Matlock and we decided to stay at Riverbank House due to its central location - near shops and eateries in the town centre. The room was clean and comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome by the owner and other staff. We had a lovely breakfast too.  Would definitely stay again and hope to do so soon.

Great B&B in Matlock Town centre

Very nice B&B in a good location . Staff were friendly and welcoming and breakfast was excellent. Within walking distance  of several bars and restaurants and about 25 - 30  min walk to the Heights of Abraham . Recommended. 

Good choice

Excellent accommodation in the heart of Matlock. Room was clean and comfortable with a view of the River Derwent. Tea and coffee in room. Staff were lovely, very friendly, a special shout out to Angela, what a lovely lady she is. Also met the owners Graham and Jenny, a lovely couple. You should be very proud of all you have achieved here.

Excellent

Our first stay in Matlock, thankfully,  found Riverbank house, which is a great place to stay. The owners and staff are brilliant, and the situation is perfect for access to the town, park, and other amenities. Our view from our room was of the well-kept rear garden, which backs onto the river Derwent and the local park. A nice walk or bus ride to the Heights of Abraham and Matlock Bath make the Riverbank the perfect place to stay when visiting the area.
Thanks to the team.
See you again.

Great B+B

Homely, friendly and a true reflection of traditional derbyshire, owners are beautiful people and the staff are amazing and go above and beyond. We Simply love staying here as it’s an home away from home. Cosy and welcoming and views to the park are beautiful

Beautifully traditional

Lovely short stay, clean and tidy premises. Very friendly people and great breakfasts. Would highly recommend. Location excellent and close to restaurants and shops. View of the river from the rear rooms and great garden on the riverbank. 

Riverbank Guest House. 

We had spotted this place when we came to the area for a day out. Saw it from the park across the river and took a picture and booked it ! 
Had a relaxing stay and owners are very friendly. 
It is like going back decades to a good old fashioned B and B.  Lovely old house and garden is great. 
Breakfast was fab. 
It’s close to all that Matlock has to offer and a 20 minute walk to Matlock Bath.  (Or train or bus 3 minute ride.)

The rooms are fashioned to be old so it’s not a boutique hotel. As some reviews have noted. 
Main advantage, park car and don’t need it until you leave. Matlock and the Bath gets very busy.

Relaxing Local Stay

We booked to stay two nights at the Riverbank Guest House on a Friday and Saturday night. We were looking forward to a quiet break exploring Matlock and Bakewell. Our first night was majorly disturbed by the loud music from the Bulan nightclub on the main road. Unfortunately, our room at the front of the house faced the road. The rooms were all full so there was no opportunity to change our room to the back of the house. We checked out after one night and were only charged for the one night stay. 

Please be aware that the nightclub on Dale Road operates from 9pm-3am on a Friday and Saturday night and this may affect your ability to have a quiet night’s sleep!
