Glendon Bed and Breakfast reviews

I took my wife to Matlock for a surprise Valentine evening meal and I’d booked for us to stay at the Glendon Guest House for the night. What a beautiful house, immaculately clean, with nothing out of place and a 2 minute walk to the town. Adrian gave us a warm welcome on arrival, took us to our room and helped with the luggage. We had Room 1 with a four-poster bed overlooking the park. Everything was sumptuous and there was nice touch of a chocolate heart lain on the bed awaiting our arrival. For me it’s the little things that count – Adrian and Damien had paid attention to all of those in abundance. Breakfast was gorgeous – everything you could want for breakfast was available and there for us to choose from. All in all a really relaxing, pleasant stay. We will be back. Thanks.

My husband and I had a 2 night stay at Glendon in October – lovely break from start to finish. Great to be welcomed with tea and homemade cake in the guest lounge. Bedroom and bathroom were very well appointed with some lovely touches – fresh milk in the fridge and nice toiletries in the en-suite. My husband really appreciated the complimentary sherry and port in the guest lounge – another nice touch. Breakfast each morning was fab – great choice and all freshly prepared. Waitress was lovely and it was nice that Damien and Adrian remembered personal details about their guests – like where we had been the day before and what we had said we were going to do that day. We bought reduced price tickets to Chatsworth from them and they also provided a ticket for free parking at Chatsworth!
It is the little touches and attention to detail that made this the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Would most definitely go back and would recommend 100%.
Well done Damien and Adrian – you deserve to make a great success of your business.

We have just returned from yet another wonderful break at Glendon House. Damien and Adrian’s hostelry is second to none, from the warm welcome of coffee and cake on arrival, to the mouth watering breakfast every morning! Glendon is a beautiful house, set in a quiet location yet only a ten minute walk through a lovely park, to the town centre.
We had a very comfortable room which had a quiet fridge filled with fresh milk every day, also the usual tea/coffee tray. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfy.
There is a beautiful lounge, filled with books and games, there is even a tray offering a complimentary drink of either sherry or port!
Damien and Adrian are always on hand to help with any queries, all in all, a truly wonderful place to stay. This is the first place we would give ten out ten for hospitality and we look forward to our next visit.

Glendon Guest House is an excellent place to stay. Our room was very comfortable. The owner and all the staff were friendly and helpful.
As well as the English Breakfast, there were also a number of other cooked options available.
It was useful having a mini-fridge and this was kept supplied with fresh milk.
Being located in the centre of Matlock meant that there were a number of restaurants nearby. Also, that various bus routes could be used instead of having to go everywhere by car.

This is a fabulous place to stay. From the moment we arrived (to a warm welcome with tea and cake) until the moment we left we felt so welcome and impressed by simply everything. The attention to detail and the high standard of service together with the house itself and its ideal location made for a wonderful stay. Thanks to all and a pat for Jasper.

Having stayed in Derwent House four years ago to celebrate our Golden Wedding with family and friends we thought Glendon guest house would also be rather special, but in fact it proved to be even better than we had hoped. It was lovely to meet Damien and Adrian again, and they provided flawless, friendly hospitality. Our room had everything we needed, and we hadn’t enough time to try all the delicious breakfasts! If there was a 6 star category, we would award that.

A lovely stay at Glendon. Well looked after by warm and friendly hosts. Great bedroom with very comfortable bed and lovely touches eg fresh milk, silent fridge, quality products. Loved the decor of the room.
Fab breakfast with several choices of cooked food. All beautifully presented with generous portions. Plus choice of fruit and cereals. Delicious. Would thoroughly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay, the house itself was stunning and there were so many brilliant little touches that made it all extra special, from the superb books for children in the family room to the range of books and games in the guest sitting room. Everyone we met was friendly, thoughtful and ‘went the extra mile’ for us. The setting of the house with the view over gardens and its proximity to the park and town made it a brilliant base for us. Definitely one of my favourite B and Bs ever. We really hope to return soon.

We stayed in this calm and beautiful retreat for 2 nights after I’d attended a conference in Sheffield. A friendly welcome, great attention to detail, a tastefully furnished room with an extremely comfortable bed and little surprises such as the delicious lemon drizzle cake we found in our room when we returned from our day out at Chatsworth made our mini break truly special. Did I mention the breakfast? Best blueberry pancakes ever, an egg lover’s heaven and a cereal buffet with fresh fruit and lovely compote. Coupled with a view of the last magnolia blossoms in the beautiful garden. We hope to return one day!

Had a very nice few days staying in the family room with my husband and two sons. We had lemon cake and tea on arrival. It was our second stay at Glendon and it was just as accommodating, clean and pleasant as we remember. Each day we were not only restocked with everything we could possibly need in our room but also left little gifts of hot cross buns. Easter chocolate rabbits were left at the breakfast table for us Easter Sunday. Breakfast was excellent and cooked to perfection. Everything was perfect in a perfect location with a nice park across the road and the red Lion pub not far away that does an excellent carvery. The rooms are a good size with a separate room for the children that even had a selection of toys to play with.

What a marvellous place to stay. Everything is thought of. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and breakfast was made all the better with the great Yvonne serving! Coming again next year.

If Derbyshire is your next vacation,
Let me suggest at that destination,
You stay in Matlock, where the river bends,
A town that’s, so just full of friends,
You’ll need a pillow for your head,
and a really cosy comfy bed.
From scrambled eggs and lots of toast,
A place to stay that is the most,
You’ll need a venue that you can depend on,
You’ll do no better than the Glendon.

Just to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glendon. The room was lovely- very comfortable and spotless. The breakfasts were delicious- spoilt for choice. Lots of lovely touches- flapjacks on arrival, wide range of walking books and maps for ideas of where to go. It’s a beautiful house and we’d heartily recommend it. Very quiet, despite being so close to the town centre, lovely views out of the window of our room and the dining room. All-in-all a very relaxing break. Many thanks.

Boutique b&b that thoughtfully accommodated a family with a 6 month old baby. The period house has been tastefully restored with lovely furnishings and accessories. The four poster room was lovely with a period fireplace. The host couldn’t have done more to accommodate us and the breakfast was delicious.

Comfortable attractive rooms with everything you need… delicious and varied options for breakfast using the best ingredients… the use of a delightful sitting room – a real bonus if traveling with children… fabulous location – no real need for a car: good walks straight out of the door, plenty of nearby pubs and restaurants and 5 minutes walk from the station… great hosts, a warm reception … and to top it all off: Jasper the dog. Thanks Glendon for a marvellous break.

A warm welcome to a charming Grade 2 house where no detail has been overlooked to provide total comfort. As for the breakfast, it was superb.

Lovely house, excellent room. lots of recommendations ie: where to eat and which local villages to visit. Matlock is a very nice town.

Our intrepid 4 lads walking group descended on Matlock this year – 2 of us stayed in Glendon and the owners kindly helped us out by recommending somewhere else just as nice (well almost as nice) for the other 2 since Glendon was full.

What a find! Can only confirm what has been said before by other people about the fantastic breakfasts, lovely & spotless rooms, lemon cake and the sherry & port experience. Such a relaxing and pleasant stay made even better by the hosts.

If you stay in Matlock then highly recommend the Maazi Indian (10% discount cards from Glendon) and the Viva Italian.

If we’re ever in Matlock again then we’ll be staying here for sure. Thanks again to Adrian and Damien.

Superb accommodation well run by Adrian and Damien. Good breakfast, great location for the dales highly recommend a visit, they are well informed about local attractions, this is a wonderful Victorian house we a lot of original features ie high ceilings ornate coving etc. Would definitely use again if in the area steve &sheila

Me & my husband stayed at Glendon for 2 nights, such a beautiful house not a spec of dust anywhere, there was a lot of thought gone into making your stay more welcoming & comfortable, so much choice on the breakfast menu and overall was made to feel very welcome, will definitely be going back.

We booked Glendon House early 2016 for our Golden Wedding. We had all the bedrooms for our family. It’s a wonderful place to stay. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the mattresses and pillows were sumptuous. The breakfasts were amazing, the blueberry pancakes were a favourite with our grandchildren and the adults. A very wide breakfast choice to suit all. It’s well appointed with all restaurants within walking distance. Came back to a very comfortable sitting room with complementary port or sherry. The hosts make it worth far more than the 5 star rating. The best B&B we have ever stayed in.
Thank you for making it so special for us and the whole family. Jean and John

An absolutely wonderful place to stay, lovingly transformed back to former glories …situated on the edge of Matlock town, a two minute stroll to a wonderful park , a delight for young and old …have not been to a better b&b, fab rooms, wonderful cooked breakfasts to order, in a delightful dining room, and the sitting room on the 1st floor a real gem – will keep on returning
Thanks all at Glendon, had a wonderful stay !

Thank you Adrian and Damien for another wonderful stay in your beautiful B&B. This was our 9th visit and it was as lovely as ever. All the individual touches of coffee and lemon drizzle cake in your homely lounge on arrival after a long journey is very much appreciated.
The immaculate way in which this fabulous B&B is decorated and always clean, light and airy and still looking as fresh as it was on our first visit. The bedrooms have comfy bed, the toiletries and extras in the bathroom give it a very personal touch. Breakfasts are to die for with a fabulous selection of hot and cold choices something for everyone’s needs. The way you look after your guests making them feel extra special is a bonus and this isn’t found elsewhere, of this we are very appreciative.
This is my piece of heaven and hopefully will be back for stay number 10

Our Host was very welcoming and knowledgeable, so we were able to make the most of our brief stay. Our room was quiet, beautifully furnished and comfortable overlooking a small park. Breakfast was magnificent.
Glendon House is very conveniently placed for both walking and local restaurants.

Lovely house, tastefully decorated. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Excellent choices for breakfast, beautifully presented and cooked. The owners were friendly and helpful, and it was a joy to stay here. Shall definitely stay here again.

Really happy we chose Glendon House. Good location and parking. Room was well equipped, clean and lovely decorated. Loved all the finishing touches around the house – lovely vases of flowers everywhere. Breakfast room was fabulous and lots of choices for breakfast and all food cooked perfectly and quality.
Thank you for welcoming with coffee and cake and can definitely say the 5 stars are well deserved.

Perfectly located. Our first visit to Matlock and we couldn’t have stayed in a better place. Our room was lovely and a good size. The welcome tea and cake is a nice treat after a long drive. We would definitely stay at Glendon house again. Lovely breakfast. Recommend the blueberry pancakes!

Our second stay in 15 months. Simply fantastic.
Rooms are very clean, staff is very friendly. Breakfast is really good. All together, i would recommend this to all my friends if they ever visit Matlock and it’s surroundings.
We will be back

Fabulous place – great location with views over the park, friendly reception with tea and slab of superb cake and a super room. All the food was fabulous – leave space for the blueberry pancakes!

This was our third stay at Glendon Guest House. The whole experience was fabulous. The house is just beautiful, the hosts are very accommodating (and entertaining) and breakfast is amazing! We shall be returning.

I spend a weekend in Matlock every year with four friends I met at Matlock college. For the last four years we have stayed at the Glendon. We all find The Glendon the perfect base for our stay. The attention to detail in every area is faultless. We feel very well looked after, from the lemon drizzle cake to the lovely comfy beds. There are good eating places within walking distance and good parking belonging to the house. Each year I do not look anywhere else to stay because The Glendon is so comfortable and friendly and every need is catered for before we need to ask.

This was our 6th visit to this beautiful house. We were meet by Damien who provided us with fresh cream scones and jam and as it was my birthday they had left me an orchid plant in the room how thoughtful was that. We know when we visit Glendon House it us like home from home the bedroom we were in was recently decorated and once again the standard of decor excellent. If you need a place to stay in Matlock this is the only place to stay breakfasts to die for and staff always friendly we shall be back hopefully again in September. Well done Adrian and Damien for the high standards at Glendon House

We stayed in a beautiful double room with decor in line with what you’d expect from a boutique hotel. There was another room attached and only accessible from the main room. This had a double bunk bed and two boxes of toys for our children to play with, who are 1 and 4. There was also enough room to fit our travel cot for our youngest.

The mini-bar was stocked with a few treats all at prices you would find in a supermarket. There were also lots of drinks to choose from at the free tea and coffee station along with some yummy biscuits.

The staff were so helpful and carried our heavy luggage up the stairs. They were always willing to help with any questions/requests we had. We received customer service at its best! We would have happily stayed longer and were pretty sad to leave. We hope to go back again in the near future.”

We were warmly welcomed by the host ,Adrian with a pot of tea and delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake ! Our ‘family room’ was perfect, tastefully decorated, very clean and comfortable. We were so impressed with the guesthouse we asked if we could stay another night but they were fully booked for the rest of the week , not surprising really for accommodation of this quality.

This is a place we have stayed many times. It is beautifully maintained guest house with great attention to detail. The owners are very pleasant and work hard to ensure your stay is perfect. It’s well worth the money which I feel is excellent value for money. There are lots to do in Matlock to keep you busy. Will return again very soon. Thanks for a fantastic few days.

We stayed for a short weekend away in the 4 poster room, we went on a recommendation and we have now recommended to our family and friends! The breakfast is absolutely brilliant, I couldn’t fault anything about our stay, hoping to return soon – thanks for a lovely break.

Just returned from a lovely one night stay at Glendon House, what a find! Super warm welcome from Damien. The lounge for guests to use is beautiful and within 5 min of arrival were asked if we would like tea and cake. A very nice touch. Our room No (1)the four poster is so nice with a lovely view of the church a little bridge and a babbling brook, so very restful. This boutique B&B came recommended by friends and everything they told us was true…highly recommend a stay here. Like us, you will return…can’t wait!! Thank you Adrian and Damien, brill stay!

Our first visit to Derbyshire and spent some time researching accommodation, luckily we got it right choosing Glendon Guest House. The rooms are all beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with coffee and delicious date and walnut cake which must have been homemade . The room was comfortable, good quality furnishings and nice large shower. Breakfasts served on crisp white linen tablecloths with selection of cereals, fresh fruit, English breakfast etc. We arrived by train, a short easy walk away and used local buses to visit Bakewell and Buxton enjoying the views on the way. Should mention everything spotlessly clean in the guest house.

Great house, great welcome, great recommendations, great part of the world and the wonderful Jasper. We spent 6 nights at Glendon and used it as a base for exploring the Derwent Valley. Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House are on the door steep as well as the Derwent Valley Mills a World Heritage site which we would highly recommend.

We were booked elsewhere for 3 nights but after the first night we did not want to return and was not happy with the accommodation or staff. So we used trip advisor to find this charming guest house and it was perfect. The room was very comfortable and we would say 5 star quality also the breakfast was excellent. Staff also very friendly. We walked a short distance to parks, gardens and more than enough things to do . Also shops, bars and restaurants very close. We are recommending this venue to all our customers as we own a post office/newsagents in Charlesworth and we had lovely break.

Having had a wonderful Christmas stay with family next door at Derwent House, we decided to stay, as a couple this time, at the B&B in Glendon House. What a delight it is. The rooms are beautifully clean and lavishly decorated in sympathy with the style of house. All we could need was provided (including ear plugs so I wondered if someone had been talking about my husband!) and the view from our room at the front of the house up to the church is quintessentially English. The choice at breakfast is exceptional and a great start to the day – whatever you have planned.
This is a tranquil oasis in central Matlock with good restaurants close by. We are returning with a group of friends in September and I have no doubts that they will all be as impressed as we are.

We were well looked after in this beautiful house in a great location. The room was excellent and the breakfast set you up to face the world! Our dog Millie was also well catered for. We would strongly recommend this B&B.

You’ll love this place as it just oozes class, friendliness and particular attention to detail. From the spacious car park on arrival, to a warm welcome from the likeable owners and the offer of a cup of tea or coffee to settle you in. The rooms are very nicely decorated and homely, with a complimentary fridge which houses a little bottle of milk for you to have with your tea or coffee instead of using the yucky UHT pods.
Breakfast is outstanding and the ingredients are all of excellent quality, and service is definitely with a smile.
I think you’ll find it very hard to find anywhere that matches the sheer class of this quality residence, along with the personal touches that makes your stay that bit more special. I won’t spoil it, but there was a very nice surprise waiting for us when we returned to our room on the second night!

What a delight it was to stay in this wonderful hotel where the owners could not do enough for you from your time of arrival to you time of departure. We were greeted with a lovely cup of tea and a delicious piece of cake on our arrival. The room was beautifully decorated and the attention to details was second to none. The breakfast was superb and so was the decor all around us. It was our first time in this hotel but it won’t be the last! The owners are so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Wonderful stay in a wonderful setting! Thank you.

Booked this as a birthday treat having been here a few times before ..glad to say everything was as fantastic as ever , greeted with a fresh pot of tea and lemon cake after a long journey , just the job . Beautiful & clean , superb breakfasts , cant really eulogise enough about this wonderful guest house .
Thanks to all at Glendon for a fab weekend !

This was our third stay at Glendon, again staying in the family room which we have never been able to better. The welcome was friendly as always, and the home made cake delicious! Our 4 year old daughter was catered for particularly well at breakfast with ‘children’s ‘ cutlery, and she especially loved the blueberry pancakes. We visited Chatsworth House, only a short car journey away, and were able to buy our tickets at Glendon thus saving us both time and money. A restful nights sleep in an exceptionally comfortable bed; our daughter loved the bunk bed and selection of toys/books provided. We will be back!

Short midweek break with my wife and a couple of friends.
Booked on recommendation from some other friends who had stayed a few times before and was not disappointed.
Sufficient parking and a short walk through the park to the busy town centre. Italian and Indian restaurants recommended.
High quality establishment, very nice clean rooms, comfortable beds and high quality fittings throughout.
Varied and quality breakfast with nothing too much trouble.
Adrian and Damian, hosts and owners couldn’t have been more helpful.
We have never been to Matlock before so we cant compare the Glendon to others, but after the delightful experience we had – why would you want to!!

Had a two night weekend stay here with our friends at the beginning of August. We were welcomed when checking in with tea/coffee and a slice of beautiful home made lemon drizzle cake and shown to our room (no 3) with a four poster bed and lovely views of the church and it’s grounds. Lots of choice for breakfast but went for the full English which was nicely cooked with quality local ingredients. Hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful with an extensive knowledge of the local area. Will not hesitate to stay here again when back down in the Matlock area.

Where do you start with somewhere like the Glendon.From the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left everything was perfect. Adrian greeted our arrival with an offer of tea and cake.Nothing was too much trouble. The little touches in the room,silent mini fridge,chocolates wine glasses….no drinking from the tooth mug here ….Oh and fresh milk.Everywhere is spotlessly clean,tastefully decorated and feels like a home from home.The breakfast set us up for the day, wish I could cook poached eggs like that.Thankyou to Yvonne for her smile in the morning and for her memory for what we liked.We will be back and hope it wont be too long before we visit again.Thank you

We stayed for two nights at the Glendon Guest House and were very pleased with the guest house itself (rooms and facilities, etc) and also with the friendly service provided by the proprietors.
This is a thoroughly clean and comfortable place to stay with good parking and within a short walk of the town centre. We are happy to recommend this lovely…

I stayed here for one night to watch a football match and from my arrival to departure, felt that nothing was too much trouble for Adrian. I was given an incredibly friendly welcome and the whole hotel was impeccably clean and stylishly furnished and decorated. My room was large and comfortable and fabulous value for money. Location wise, it’s 2 minutes from the centre of Matlock and probably 7 minutes walk to the station if you cut across the park. My breakfast was fantastic – freshly cooked and high quality food. I have stayed in and around Matlock several times because i often work there and this would definitely be the my first choice place to stay.
