The eight rooms at this central Grade II–listed Victorian beauty conjure up Matlock's golden age with antique furnishings, cast-iron fireplaces, flowery wallpaper, handmade soaps and goose-down duvets. The restaurant (open Monday to Saturday evenings; two-/three-course menus £27/30) has just 18 seats, so bookings are advised. From April to September, there's a minimum two-night stay on weekends.
Arrive early to nab one of its five parking spaces.
