    The room was a little small, making suitcase location difficult. My husband is very tall so hung off the bed a little.

    The warm welcome and the best breakfast we’ve ever had

    A fabulous stay in the Derwent room, and we enjoyed all aspects from the wonderful views, spotlessly clean and spacious bedroom and the included breakfast every day. Highly recommended

    The location can be difficult to access dependent on the weather but it isn't a criticism.

    The owners were very attentive and knowledgeable of the surrounding area. Room very spacious and clean. We even got upgraded! Although, only a small window for breakfast there are many different option to choose from.

    The location (steep gradients from both directions) were definitely not for the faint-hearted! The partition wall between our room and the neighbouring one was not as well sound-proofed as it might have been.

    Excellent choice and standard of breakfast. Sue was careful to see that we had all we needed, and gave us good guidance on how to maximise our time in the area, where to eat etc. House and room were fitted out comfortably and restfully.

    Can't think of anything.

    The room was lovely, really comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. A word of warning though, the road up to the property is very steep, nothing that any car couldn't manage, but care is needed. All-in-all, we had a really enjoyable weekend, and if you are into walking, and have the time, then I recommend you do the 6.2 miles Cromford circular walk starting from the Gables (ask the host for the information sheet), because it's a stunning walk.

    Nothing to dislike but there is a very steep road to reach the property - hence the fabulous views!

    Beautiful location with spectacular views. Hosts were very welcoming with tea and cake on arrival. Lots of breakfast choices. Room was very comfortable (suite) with toiletries, towelling gowns, fridge with fresh milk (!), water, kettle and plenty of tea, coffee and hot chocolate

    Everything was lovely. Only one piece of constructive criticism would be to adapt the description of the parking to include that it's a very steep hill and a small parking area. Not a problem as we were the only ones staying but I can see this being a little hairy with more than one car needing to park.

    The welcome, room amenities and comfort, the view, and the breakfast were all excellent. Sue and John were lovely and attentive enough while also leaving us to enjoy coming in and out as we pleased. The room was well cleaned and supplied, and the bed was comfortable.

    That booking.com has this as 650yd from Matlock train station and it is nowhere near.we had to walk into matlock and then get a taxi. The majority of taxis will not drive up the steep hill, on a night in town we tried 14 taxi firms with no luck so had to walk home. John thankfully gave us a lift to the train station when we left.

    Everything about the gables is lovely 😍
