Guests say

Arlington House in Matlock is highly praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, abundance of bathrooms, and the games room. The property is ideal for large groups and family gatherings, offering comfort and convenience with a touch of luxury. While parking can be challenging, the proximity to local amenities and attractions compensates for this minor inconvenience.

Guests consistently note the property's superb cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition of the rooms. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The property's location is frequently commended for its convenience to Matlock town centre and nearby attractions. Despite some parking difficulties, the central location and ease of access to shops and restaurants are greatly appreciated.

The comfort of the property is well-regarded, with special mentions of comfy beds and well-furnished rooms. A few comments about lumpy pillows and a desire for more towels suggest slight room for improvement.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-stocked kitchen and games room. However, some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for additional equipment like larger saucepans and hairdryers slightly affect the score.

While guests express gratitude for the welcome pack and the provision of amenities like cots and high chairs, there is insufficient information to determine a consistent level of thoughtfulness regarding gifts, as they are not mentioned frequently enough to score.

  • Jennifer

    Lots of bedrooms, all with WCs and plenty of bathrooms and good kitchen facilities. Our large group of friends had a great long weekend and hope to return.

  • Becci

    Plenty of room for the 14 of us, and very conveniently located near to lots of great independent shops, safes, bars and things to do.

  • Lesley

    We managed to get most of the cars parked outside the property which was great, alternative parking was quite close. Just to confirm all bedrooms had a toilet and sinks but not all had showers, however there was a bathroom on each floor. Very well equipped and comfortable for 13 people to stay. Really worked well for a group booking.
