Most reviews are quite accurate. Some decoration is a bit dated, not a problem but some is tired and such as our bath panel that was tatty. Having said that at £45 per night double it was a bargain. The double room was a little small but no problem, bed was comfy although pillows could be thicker and a better... More

Very good experience from booking in to checking in with the hotel. We got a very good value room on a bank holiday weekend, and were made aware by email before arriving that there was some redecorating underway in the hallway - no nasty surprises - but actually was not an issue at all. The room itself was quite small,... More

I stayed here as part of a walking holiday. The location - looking across the steep valley to High Tor - is superb. The hotel is quite large, and was built in Matlock Bath's Victorian heyday. Today it has something of the faded glory of a once popular seaside hotel. However our twin room was spacious with an excellent shower... More

I love this hotel !! My partner and I spent the night here after a long 5 hour drive up from Devon on our way to visit Chatsworth House. It is so charming and yes, it is in need of a bit up re-furbishing and a bit Fawlty Towers, but creaky uneven floors are a part of it's charm. And... More

Good real ale pub, the Blue Money P G Sips is really good and friendly bar staff. Lovely real fire but lacks atmosphere, very dated furniture and furnishings. Hotel seemed very quite and in need of updating.

Chris and Melanie will always make your stay at the Temple a warm one. This was our third visit and will not be our last. We stayed in Room 8, recently refurbished. It was clean, spacious with a lovely king size bed. Wonderful spreads and curtains! Breakfasts at the Temple are wonderful with a wide choice. Do try the home... More

A party of 15 of us journeyed from various parts of the UK for our annual post Christmas walking weekend on the snowiest days of the year so far. It is no exaggeration to say that I have driven through Matlock Bath hundreds of times and I never knew the hotel was here. The hotel is in a great location... More

Stayed in the Temple hotel in Matlock Bath for 2 nights in May 2012 for min-break for sight seeing and a bit of walking. Weather was very poor first day, drizzly rain all day, but next day was dry. Good traditional hotel which was being modernised, nice double room, mine overlooked Heights of Abraham. Rooms have flat screen Tvs with... More

Currently being refurbished, so OK the first view may not be that inviting but the welcome is really warm and friendly. The beds were comfy and the food tasty. The Landlord keeps a good pint and there was an interesting range of beers in a clean, friendly bar. We requested an early breakfast tray but this was accidentally delivered to... More
