« The breakfast was outstanding. Fan much appreciated in the heatwave. Provided plates for our takeaway in the evening. »

« A little gem that we will definitely return to. Rooms were finished to a high quality - not just style over substance. Beds comfy, shower amazing, hot tub fab and one of the best nights sleep for a while. Paired with excellent food and service at Bowling Green Inn, would highly recommend 👍 »

« A very special place to stay as this was the family home of Florence Nightingale. We stayed in two bedrooms which were the rooms that she grew up in before she went to Crimea. This is not a hotel. It’s more of a guest house with a few of the rooms rented out on a nightly basis. The property is accessed through several gates so it’s on very private land. The views are amazing of the local countryside and there’s a very beautiful garden around the house and sheep in the fields a little further...

« We just loved this place. A great atmosphere. Good food and great facilities. Staff were amazing. Would recommend »

« Our room had a fantastic view over Matlock Bath. It was wizard themed and would suit families looking for good value for money. »

« Bon restaurant, chambre agréable, dommage que le jacuzzi soit payant »

« It’s a really cute place to stay. Beautiful views and garden with a lovely canal side walk nearby. Nicely designed inside and Steve, the owner, is incredibly friendly and helpful. Would have liked to have been able to stay longer. »

« Lovely stay! Small touches like a fan in the room helped with the heat. Huge rooms, very clean and nicely furnished. Breakfast was great and plenty of choice! »

« Lovely quirky place, close to the local amenities! Everything was catered for and a welcome gift greeted us on arrival. The secluded garden was a little treat to relax in. Rooms were spacious and clean. Parking outside and on the street! Will definitely come back! »

« Stayed here for one night. Was given the Honeymoon Suite which was amusing. Room was in roof of the hotel and was unbelievably hot, even with velux windows open. Was given 2 fans which didnt give out any airflow even though they were on full speed. Massive bath but nothing to put in it with the water. Room cooled down by about 2am. I'm sorry but breakfast was awful (scrambled egg that was white and sausages that were rubber). Bed was comfortable enough and staff were cheerful and helpful. »

« The staff at The Bear Inn are terrific: it’s a family-run business and nothing was too much trouble. You soon will get to know everyone’s name a they will remember yours; it’s the little things that set a small country Inn apart from the bigger and soulless enterprises. Check-in was easy and, although we originally planned to stay for a couple of days, we were made so welcome, decided to stay for two more. Our day always started with an excellent and leisurely breakfast which really set us up...

« This is a fabulous place to stay. A beautiful old property full of charm. Our bedroom was the best we have ever stayed in. The food is exceptional and even includes a packed lunch. Beautiful walks straight from the door. The staff are all charming and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here »

« Friendly and welcoming staff. Comfy bed and room. Spacious double bed room. Bathroom and toilet recent and clean. Plenty of parking. Breakfast had ample choice between continental and English. »

« Website not updated. Staff struggled to give correct information.Lovely quite room, hotel has so much potential but lacking in many areas. When teething problems ironed out I'm sure it will be a great place to stay in an outstandingly beautiful area. »
