Reviews of Explorers Retreat Matlock Bath

Derek
Our stay at Explorers Retreat was truly magical. The location, right inside the park, was absolutely perfect for our family adventure. The room itself was filled with enchanting "wizardy" details that delighted both the kids and adults. The bunk beds area was especially spacious and comfortable. We also loved the balcony and the breathtaking view over Matlock. The entertainment, including the interactive singing and dancing, was a wonderful touch that kept the kids entertained throughout our stay.
While our overall experience was amazing, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The sink being located on the toilet cistern made it a bit inconvenient to wash our faces and clean our teeth.

The pirate-themed room was loved by our kids and it was spotlessly clean. the beds were very comfortable and the main bedroom had plenty of plug sockets and a TV with Netflix. the bathroom had hot water and a good shower. the entertainment for children was fun and there were slides outside for younger kids to play on.
The lack of handrails in the rooms made it difficult for young children to navigate the stairs without bumping into the sharp wood. the rooms themselves were a bit cramped and not well ventilated, which made sleeping uncomfortable in the heat.

our recent stay at explorers retreat in matlock bath exceeded all our expectations. the converted shipping container room was comfortable and sparkling clean, with a brand new shower. the views of matlock and gulliver's kingdom were breathtaking, and the friendly staff made us feel welcome. highly recommended for families or couples.
Evening entertainment prices were excessive.

We stayed at the Explorers Retreat in Matlock for one night and chose a Pirate room for our little boy. The room was clean and had a lovely pirate decor, with comfy beds, lots of towels and extra pillows. The triple bunk beds were awesome! The location was great, just a short walk to Matlock Bath. The staff was helpful and accommodating. better than expected and the kids loved it. We would definitely stay again.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

The themed rooms were a hit with the kids and added to the excitement of our Christmas stay. The marshmallow toasting in the evening was a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy. The hotel's proximity to Gulliver's Kingdom made it extremely convenient for a day of adventure.
The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, with a bag of rubbish and mildew in the shower. The lack of proper cleaning gave off a damp and musty smell that was quite off-putting.

Great for a quick stay, my kid loved the bunk beds and the compact room had some nice touches. The staff were friendly and the location was convenient for exploring the area.
The sink above the toilet was a terrible idea, impossible to use and the bathroom had a horrible smell. Also, the noise from the neighboring room was bothersome in the mornings.

As a tourist, I absolutely loved my stay at this retreat in Matlock. the themed decoration was carried through on everything, even the stools had names! the entertainment and games for kids were brilliant, making it a perfect place for families. the staff went above and beyond, even helping us remove frozen snow from our car. the location was beautiful, with Matlock Bath just a 5-minute walk away. the accommodation was cozy, tidy, and fresh, with clean showers and comfy beds. the price was worth every penny, and the added bonus of Netflix on the TVs was a nice touch. it's a place that will create great memories.
Felt really like home, no complaints.

The location of the hotel is great, with nearby facilities such as restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The forest views from the room are absolutely lovely, providing a peaceful atmosphere. The staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful, providing a pleasant experience for guests.
The bedding in the room can be a bit too hot, with no option for just a sheet instead of a duvet.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Explorers Retreat! The themed pirate room was an absolute hit with our kids, and the entertainment provided kept them engaged and happy. The location was perfect too, with the added benefit of Gulliver's Kingdom just a short walk away. Our little pirates were overjoyed with their stay!

Perfect location for Matlock Bath with easy access to the town centre and attractions. The Fairytale Princess themed room was a hit with our kids, especially the bunk beds. The hotel offers a great selection of DVDs and games for borrowing, as well as a communal lounge with movie nights. The small play area with slides and climbing frames was a nice touch. We even had a balcony to watch the firework display from. Will definitely stay here again!
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

had an amazing stay at a charming retreat in Matlock, Derbyshire. The staff were excellent and the pirate room was perfect for my boys. Spotlessly clean with comfy beds. Loved the amenities like Netflix, microwave, and fridge. Can't wait to return in warmer weather!
Breakfast wasn't the best.
