Pros:

Been before and really central to everything although the accommodation has went down hill in my opinion. Bathroom didnt have a nice smell stained glass at bottom of shower door, toilet had yellow marks around rim of seat and around the fixings. Cant remember if they had a fridge last time we stayed but didnt this time and really needs one. 3 people staying and only 2 cups. Still had a lovely time overall.

Mini Summer Break
Pros:

Stayed in a Wuzard Room at Explorers Retreat which was perfect fir our granddaughter. Really well decorated and special. Breakfast selection was limited but reasonably priced. Accessibility to Gulliers was perfect 4 min walk.

Not clean
Pros:

The main parts (bedding, bathroom items) were clean but don’t look any closer at skirtings, radiators, edges or carpets etc. these were grim, dusty and full of cobwebs. The bedding didn’t fit the bed, the sheet didn’t reach the top of the bed and I had to redo the quilt cover.
I picked up a handful of bits of fluff and debris from the floor before putting my baby down to avoid him putting them in his mouth, his feet were black from crawling.

Rooms smelled very bad!
Pros:

After reading the reviews I was looking forward to this stay however I was in shock with how different it was. The smell of our princess suite was awful, absolutely damp and the bathroom was the worst. A very very strong smell of sewage and body odour. We found it really uncomfortable to sleep in but the kids bunk beds were the nicest bit. They enjoyed themselves so I would say this is not worth the money at all

Great location
Pros:

Amazing location. Quirky hotel but the cleanliness in our room was abysmal. Didn't stay for food as we went down into Matlock Bath which was in walking distance. The staff deserve full praise, they were really nice and attentive.

Pros:

Was a lovely little room. Clean and cozy.
Down points are that room was too hot with no means to cool it down and no spoons or stirrers to make the drinks.
Would deffo recommend but if your like me and get hot too quick then ask for a room with aircon.

Very relaxing stay
Pros:

Great little place for a night away with kids, basic but comfortable.
The thing we loved was the little courtyard with plenty of tabkes and chairs outside the cabins where you could see your child playing on the play equipment whilst chilling.
Only stayed in the basic cabin and didnt upgrade to the princess rooms but from what we could see, it was a much better set up in these to be able to keep a close watch on you child.
Made it a relaxing stay and would defo use again.
