We really enjoyed the whole stay. The scenery and set up is beautiful. Our room was lovely and bedding clean. Staff were amazing. Very friendly.
The only issue we had was the food. We have a meal in the restaurant and it was £16 for a microwave curry. Drinks expensive and breakfast basic. This is the only thing to let it down. However there is plenty of food options in Matlock Bath itself.

I booked a comfort room as it was just myself and my partner staying. We arrived earlier than check in so parked to car in the car park and carried on with our day. Reception and most of the accommodation is up a steep hill. At check in time the receptionist was lovely and gave us all the information needed. Our accommodation was back down near the bottom of the hill and had own parking area. The block looked and felt pretty new it was called willows and was all wind in the willows themed. Our room was called rabbit, it was very clean and couldn’t fault it at all. Would definitely stay there again

Staff helpful enough but when you have a leaf blower waking you up right outside your door, is not pleasant experience. The place is highly dated, you are staying very near other guests so it is not private at all. Kids loved bunk beds but could easily escape as they could easily reach the lock as there bedroom curtain is right next to the exit, was ok for one trip but wouldn’t return again

Poor don't stay.

First of all, their map location on the hotels.com booking and Google is wrong. It takes you somewhere else.

2nd, they don't answer the phone. Apparently the number on the booking, even after you choose the menu options to speak to this hotel, doesn't ring them.

3rd the room is too hot, and it's only about 5c outside.

4th At pas 11pm there were other guests having a massive argument, shouting, swearing and crying while me and child were trying to sleep.

Finally, this morning, found the mattress protector on the bed had dried blood on it, and hairs, that are definitely not ours.

Do not recommend.

The room was extremely dusty with cobwebs also, my daughter was sneezing all night. I feel the room were only for in season as not been maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very confusing where to go as we arrived evening and you had to drive down to room after checking in. Feel like this is accommodation just for families staying at theme park. Bar was closed also due to a school trip.

The accommodation was fantastic, staff were really friendly and the price was really good.
Staff were always on hand to help day and night and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It was nice to have a drink in the small bar and the kids appreciated the mini games room and gift shop.

We went on the coldest day of the year so was a little bit of a shame the room had one storage heater that was controlled centrally by WiFi as in the morning we were cold but as soon as the staff were informed they instantly turned the heating back on for us.

We will certainly go back in the summer months and stay again.

Thanks for a memorable stay.

The room was physically good looking, however the vibrations from the doors closing throughout the willows were so aggressive they shook what sounded like radiators and radiator pipes in the rooms (this was caused by the door arms that closes doors automatically, i know they are essential but this is the.first time ive had the experience of a whole building heating system shake from them). Oh and the stale smell from.the bathroom made the whe room stink damp and stale.

Breakfast was unavailable although I was under the impression from the information given beforehand that a continental breakfast was available.
Likewise, unless mistaken, I had been led to believe that there was daily housekeeping but this did not take place.
The wi-fi worked well but a couple of channels didn't work for the latter part of the stay from the minimum choice of television stations provided.
However, it was a good stay all in all: the room was clean and the outlook was very scenic - I basically had a pleasant
, enjoyable time there.
It was reasonably convenient of access to the local amenities and facilities in Matlock Bath although it was a bit of a haul up and down the hill to the hotel!
The staff was pleasant.
I did feel slightly cold in the room occasionally.

Not clean

The main parts (bedding, bathroom items) were clean but don’t look any closer at skirtings, radiators, edges or carpets etc. these were grim, dusty and full of cobwebs. The bedding didn’t fit the bed, the sheet didn’t reach the top of the bed and I had to redo the quilt cover.
I picked up a handful of bits of fluff and debris from the floor before putting my baby down to avoid him putting them in his mouth, his feet were black from crawling.

Rooms smelled very bad!

After reading the reviews I was looking forward to this stay however I was in shock with how different it was. The smell of our princess suite was awful, absolutely damp and the bathroom was the worst. A very very strong smell of sewage and body odour. We found it really uncomfortable to sleep in but the kids bunk beds were the nicest bit. They enjoyed themselves so I would say this is not worth the money at all

Very relaxing stay

Great little place for a night away with kids, basic but comfortable.
The thing we loved was the little courtyard with plenty of tabkes and chairs outside the cabins where you could see your child playing on the play equipment whilst chilling.
Only stayed in the basic cabin and didnt upgrade to the princess rooms but from what we could see, it was a much better set up in these to be able to keep a close watch on you child.
Made it a relaxing stay and would defo use again.

Booked to stay for 2 nights but checked out after the 1st night. The room was damp, dirty and smelt. Even tried to air the room out with opening the window. The description of the room said that it was sound proof which is not the case as we were woke up at 7am by children kicking a ball against our door.

The staff member that checked us in was very helpful and friendly and same with the staff member the checked us out.

Would not stay again.

Great except cleanliness

Stayed in a pirate room and the theme was great and everything was decorated brilliantly. Plenty of storage space, small but sufficient room with great space saving and fun bunks for kids. Only issue was the cleanliness. There was food crumbs on the kids room ladder, sweet wrappers down the side of the shelf and chewing gum stuck to the lamp. That put a bit of a negative spin on it but if it had been cleaned properly then it's a great place to stay.

Steep hill!

Had a call day before to ask what time we was checking in and give us useful information about the area and what to do. Lady at check in was super nice gave us more tips on the area. Room was warm and clean when arrived. Had kettle and microwave and a mini fridge, no cutlery or plates but that was fine with us. If walking down to the town, it is a very steep hill and takes 15 minutes for the unfit lol. Overall good stay and would stay again.

We were pleasantly surprised with Gulliver's Kingdom since we have never heard of it. For a really great price we had a lovely 2 nights in the princess-themed room with amazing views of Matlock Bath. There were activities in the evening for the kids. They absolutely loved it

Stayed in the pirate themed room and there was a terrible smell in the room. Everytime we left and returned it hit you as you walked in. Dont know if it was stale cigarette, damp or a mixture of both.

Clean on the surface but very very dusty and dirty if you look closely. Left a drink on the side for a short will and the dust from the bedside light had dropped and was floating on the top.

Moved the bed looking for the wifes earing and there was so much crap amongst the thick layer of dust under there. Including a tv remote if one was lost (room 1), wipes, pencil crayons and pop bottle lid.

The balcony was covered in leafs and debri from the trees.

There isnt any shops in Matlock bath so if you need anything make sure you take it with you. 4 tea bag for a room of 4 for 2 nights wasn't going to cut it.

For £319.70 it was very overpriced

We stayed in a pirate room which was about the size of a Premier Inns room and is made of converted shipping container
The whole experience was more about theme than content
We assumed wrongly from the description that we would have limited catering facilities in reality we had a kettle a microwave and a very very small fridge plus 5 mugs. We had to go to reception to ask for basic crockery and cutlery, there was nothing to use in the microwave. The write up said we would get daily maid service which never happened.
The staff did there best with a tied outdated offering - shame

We couldn’t believe how lovely our room was and how close it was for exploring the town - we had an amazing time in Matlock and our accommodation was a major part of our rating. We will definitely be going there again and have already recommended it to our family and friends.

Basic but clean, comfortable, really enjoyable

Fairly basic room (made from a shipping container) but really quite functional, clean and comfortable. The bar/reception and kids entertainment area was smaller than I expected (compared to Gulliver's Valley in Rotherham), but it was pleasant and sociable, the staff were really friendly, and the kids enjoyed the entertainment. And the theme park is great, plenty to do, lovely surroundings. Food a bit basic but decent options in the main hotel restaurant. Even more basic with fewer options in the theme park (and nothing healthy).

We stayed in the new Willows block, which was really lovely. It still feels very new and was very clean - and the bed was very comfortable. My daughter was over the moon with her bunk bed over the main double bed, which was such a lovely touch. All the staff we met were so friendly and when I booked I hadn’t realised there would be entertainment in the evening. There were games/a disco on from 7pm, marshmallow toasting (although you have to buy a bag of marshmallows to take part) from 8pm and a film was put on for the kids from 9pm, which was the Lion King when we were there. The only downside was there was nowhere to buy breakfast from (and very limited options in the theme park if you go on to spend the day there). The bathroom was also very small, which didn’t bother me because it had everything we needed but I can imagine larger guests might have an issue.

The room itself was quite hot, the only way to resolve this was by opening the balcony door, which let in a lot of bugs and insects at night. It would be better if there was a fan or air conditioner instead.

Another thing was that there was sometimes a bad smell coming from the boiler or around that area.

Apart from thoss small problems, the room was very nice and clean. We enjoyed staying on the property.

Themed rooms are great

We stayed in the princess room which should have been for 2 nights however the room was lovely with an amazing view from the balcony but the bed was not, you could feel the springs and we had an awful nights sleep however when i complained about this, the woman on reception was very apologetic and offered us a room swap which we accepted, the second night we stayed in a pirate room and it was great, no springy bed and we really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely go back.

Not what I expected for the price

👍We were greeted by a lovely receptionist, the room had everything we needed plus extra like microwave and fridge. We were offered the option of food, able to go to the lounge/bar area to watch a film or take a DVD. Bonus of a free ticket for our son for the theme park as it was closed being out of season.

👎Only surface cleaned, black scum around the plug and taps and spider webs. The thermostat in the room was set at 19 degrees and because we arrived bang on check in time the room hadn't be pre warmed. High up in the Peaks in February we were cold. The heaters are locked and controlled by the reception. I went to reception and asked if we could have it set for warmer and she was very accommodating and said it was reset. We went out to get food and on return it was warm. I then had a bath. Later my son wanted a bath but no hot water but an emersion type heater you had to press to boost it. We had been told about this but I never thought in a hotel this would happen after one bath especially in a room that sleeps 5. Basically it would need to heat for an hour between baths so went to bed. When we woke up at 8.30am the heater was cold and was set at 15 degrees. I tried to ring the reception 4 times through the website as no room phone but no pick up. In the end we just got dressed and left. There was hot water but to cold for a bath.
At 110 pounds a night I did not expect to be controlled on baths, room temperature or be cold. For this reson I wouldn't recommend.

Expected better from a family resort

The room I originally got given was not cleaned. The gentlemen didn’t know what to say , I was moved to another cabin , however the lamp was ready to be binned. It was very cold inside. Very small and not enough lamps for the desk underneath. I appreciate it was kids and family. But what do you have to accommodate business? The pics below are what I turned up to. I wasn’t happy , I checked out but I couldn’t explain my problems as it was very busy on Saturday morning. I would like to be compensated as it was a disaster.

wouldnt stay again

The hotel staff were friendly but the accomodation is in serious need of updating and cleaning, we had little bugs in the fridge and the carpet was absolutely disgusting, a carpet cleaner would help if it cannot be replaced. the place is fab for matlock bath and we had a good day in the park but having a separate access for the park would be good as you have to walk up or down to access the park but wouldnt stay in the accomodation again.

Having them checked my bank in the morning I could see Id clearly paid the corrext amount. I went to ask for a refund and they said they couldn't at 8am as no manager was on the premises..

Rooms are housed in converted shipping containers- but were well equipped, clean and comfortable. Bunk beds were a big hit with our children (6&9), being right next to the park was a huge bonus for us. Though not really our “thing” the entertainment for the children in the evening was actually really good fun, followed by toasting marshmallows round a fire pit. Then a visit from “Gully” the park mascot in the morning also brought some smiles. Staff were all friendly and helpful- with a big dose of common sense. At breakfast one small child was quite upset by the arrival of a 6ft tall mouse, Gully’s helper very sensibly moved Gully out of the room to the hallway, and came back to see the child in question to make sure they were ok. Top marks. On the negative, the sink in the en-suite is on top of the toilet cistern to save space, but tricky to brush you teeth for smaller people, and although the dinner we had was good, served quickly and reasonably priced, it would be greatly to have a bit more variety out side of burgers/veg burgers, nuggets and fries. Overall recommend.

A fun short stay

We booked a night stay on the way home from a short break and it seemed like a fun option. The theme was nice, my eldest is a huge Harry Potter fan so loved the Wizard Theme, the view was amazing, good showers and the bed was comfortable. The only real downsides was the temperature, no air con, no fan and although we had a balcony and the option to leave wide open, this was not an option as the minute we did all sorts of bugs found there way in (one of the draw backs to all the beautiful foliage Matlock Bath is famous for) and the breakfast option was a little confusing and not really worth the £25 we paid for it (£2 for a bowl of cereal?) but overall it’s a fun place, if I was looking for a place to stay outside the summer months this would definitely be up for consideration

Outstanding staff, all great value.

The Park is always good fun, quite traditional and great for younger kids.
The accommodation was great, very clean and very comfortable.The big win was the kids evening entertainer. If the hotel is reading this, then you need to keep him. He is all my kids have talked about. He was on duty on Wed PM 26 Oct. we all agreed, the best entertainment we have ever seen and the kids and parents there had a whale of a time.
The only bit to improve was the food standards, it was pretty average but then we weren't paying high end rates so it was fair enough.
We will definitelybe ging to stay again.

Unusual place to stay

The park was closed but the cabins were available which meant a quiet night. I suspect it may not be so nice when the park is busy with children. Easy walk to pubs and shops (a bit steep on the way back!).
Very small cabin with double bed and bunks. Just enough room for two people but not too bad at the price or if you have been to Japan. Having a small wash basin behind the toilet makes cleaning teeth interesting but shower was fine for a small person.
Good value for one night, friendly staff.

No the worst, but I won't be going back.

My stay was 'ok'.
Easy to find. Friendly staff. Easy check in..
However.. the 'cabin' was a metal storage container which had been turned into a room. First impression was the overpowering smell of air fresheners, I had to unplug one and leave the door open to let it dissipate. Once that had died down, the smell it's covering was odd. Vaguely like cat wee..just odd.
The room was lovely and clean though and nicely decorated.
I had to ask for milk pots. No TV remote. No WiFi and it being a metal box meant no data signal.
I was given room 30, which has a metal staircase running alongside, so I felt every step of every other resident of the 5 or so other 'cabins'.
There's a reason this is the cheapest in the area.

However the children's room was a little bit damp and the beds were slightly wet!
The overall experience was so unique and the location is perfect for a getaway even if the theme park is closed. We got a family room for 5 at a snip too! Very enjoyable even with the slight issue with the children's beds
