Pros:

Chap running it now v friendly n helpful n doing everything himself.

Cons:

Been coming years. Price has increased but standards since Chris n Zoe sold it have dropped. Very Dusty, even in rooms. No flannels. Breakfast used to be 2 courses, with cafetiere n juice, a tablecloths, all v pretty. Now a fry up. Not real butter. Reception area cluttered. It's lost its magic. Very sorry about that, it was a special place.
Not fault of chap looking after it solo. Cost cutting n practicalities have bitten into it I think.

Only one night and host very friendly and helpful. Some investment in the property would pay dividends.
Pros:

Location was great but it would have been nice to know more about the history of the building when booking.
Bed and pillows really comfortable.

Cons:

Decor a bit dated. We had breakfast, food lovely, but no side plates for the toast or napkins, so needed more attention to detail

lovely Historic hotel,
Pros:

good breakfast, good view from the room, run by a very friendly couple, best location in Matlock bath.

Cons:

the Hotel ( or at least the TV in my room ) only had the std terrestrial TV channels not even freeview. luckily we didn't mind that much as we were having a re-union and just needed comfy beds at the end of the day, the rest of the time we were out and about.
