5-star hotels in Matlock
A shortlist of the 11 hotels in Matlock that carry a 5-star class rating, from town-centre cottages to country inns and historic houses in the surrounding villages. It is for travellers who want the top class of stay in and around Matlock, whether for a short break, a family gathering or a quiet couple's escape.
Staying in Matlock
Matlock sits at the edge of the Derbyshire Peak District, and the 5-star places to stay here are scattered across the town and its surrounding villages rather than stacked in one quarter. Rose Cottage is the closest to the centre, at 1.1 km, with Chestnut Farm Holiday Cottages at 2.6 km, Silver Ridge Bed and Breakfast at 3.1 km and Lea Hall at 4.4 km. Beyond that come the village addresses: Florence Nightingale Suites at Lea Hurst at 5.0 km, Winster Hall at 5.3 km, Richfield at West Bank Winster at 5.5 km, The Tenth House in Wirksworth at 5.9 km, The Peacock at Rowsley at 7.0 km and The Beeley Inn at Devonshire Square in Beeley at 8.0 km.
The mix suits different trips. Couples tend to take the country inns and heritage houses, families the cottages and farm properties with family rooms, kitchens and gardens, and short-break visitors the closest addresses around Starkholmes and Matlock itself. Guests score these hotels 4.5 out of 5 on average across 369 reviews for the most-reviewed of them, so the class rating is matched by strong feedback.
