We stayed at Sherif Lodge from 17 to 21 May 2012 with our two greyhounds. It was perfect for us. Super accommodation, truly outstanding breakfasts, (from full english; to fruit salads to die for; home-made bread; cereals; juices, etc.) The friendlyness was second to none and we will definitely go back again. Only a short walk from Matlock town centre,... More

We found this hotel via the Tourist Information Office list. It is wonderful. The bedrooms were well-furnished, the bathrooms spotless. The enormous bed in The Loft is the best night's sleep I've had in years. Amenities for guests are many and varied. The family made us so welcome and we left reluctantly after a large and freshly-cooked breakfast. We were... More

Susan, Thanks for your great response - our gigantic (7 foot long) beds are obviously still a hit:-) But your review gives me a great opportunity to clarify a couple of minor points. Firstly we are not a hotel - the English Tourist Board won't allow this title as we simply (but we hope very effectively) supply bed & breakfast... More

We visited with our large unruly dog on May Bank Holiday weekend, so we were in the self-contained Warren. It was warm, comfortable and cosy. the shower was wonderful and even the quirky eco-drainage system was not a problem for us. Nothing was too much trouble for Alan and Kate, they were obliging when we called to warn that we... More

Stayed at Sherriff Lodge during the weekend of April 28th for a girls walking weekend. We stayed in The Warren with my dog. The Warren is really well set up for the dog with it's own external door for taking the dog out without disturbing the other guests and making it easier for us. Due to recent illness Alans wife...

Hello you three - thanks for a great response - we aim to please and it looks like we are succeeding:-) You are right about my favourite Mother-in-Law - Megan has been a fabulous help to me over the last few months - I couldn't have done it without her. Kate is making a slow but steady recovery and she... More

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sheriff Lodge. This was booked as a birthday treat. Made to feel very welcome. The room stayed in was comfortable, clean and well maintained. The only downside was the mattress on the bed was harder than I am used to. The breakfasts served were first class. Plenty of choice with quality ingredients used. The home made... More

Thanks for your lovely posting - it really does help to know we are still getting it right after all these year (10 at the last count). Your comment about the firmness of the bed is an interesting one - just as your posting appeared on the site we received an e-mail from another pair of guests asking where we'd... More

I booked Sheriff lodge on the recommendation of my brother and sister and was not disappointed. This is a very friendly, clean and comfortable b&b with lots of thoughtful extras to enhance your stay. The hospitality tray in the bedroom had a wide range of drinks to choose from including decaff. coffee as well as delicious biscuits. On arrival we... More

I can't really add anything to what other, equally delighted reviewers have written. Very friendly, extremely comfortable, the best breakfasts EVER...the home made bread was phenomenal. We've stayed in a lot of places, and I'm usually picky...but everything surpassed our expectations. Thank you so much,and huge apologies for taking the key with me...a Freudian slip perhaps, so that I could... More

We stayed in the Warren so we had a separate access for the dogs. The room was clean and well maintained, plenty of tea and coffee etc. Breakfast was amazing, plenty of fresh fruit and piping hot porridge not to mention (but mentioning) a wonderful cooked breakfast! With fresh home made bread what more could you ask for! Alan and... More

I was travelling up to Glasgow with my parents and found the bed and breakfast available pretty last minute. We got the basement room which was very nice with loads of space and one on the second floor (the Nest). The cookies given in the rooms were very nice and there were complementary drinks and a laptop to use in... More
