Our breaks are very rare and far between - to find Riber Hall as wonderful as it was surpassed all our expectations. With relatively new management that are an asset to the owner, this hotel is a must for those who want to get away from it all and unwind. The service was tremendous, any request dealt with professionaly but... more

The hotel is in a great position - but be aware you need your walking boots! Good downhill walk to Matlock Baths to enjoy the cable car ride and see the lead mine. It is actually quicker to walk back via the footpath near the station at Matlock than it is to drive as we were enjoying our first drink... more

All looked promising as we drove into the hall,lovely situation and an undeniably pretty building. We checked into a rather tired old room caught somewhere between a BnB and a foolish attempt to haul the" guest experience"into the 21st century. Sadly a cheap lcd television of a size that required a telescope to view,[and believe me the room was not... more

This is a lovely period property with plenty of charm, but it simply does not live up to the price tag. The room was nicely furnished with a four poster bed, but the noise of the TV from the room above was an irritation, as was the phone in our room which did not work. The biggest disappointment by far... more
