The best B&B we have stayed at. Period. Immaculate rooms, brilliant location for the peak district, perfect hosts, and the best full-English breakfast around. We will definitely be back!
My husband, teenage daughter and myself stayed here for two nights in September.
Firstly we just loved Matlock it is a beautiful town with lots to offer.
Then we come to our accommodation. Glendon Guest House has been lovingly restored with a keen eye for detail. Every comfort has been considered. We couldn't have felt more welcomed and we couldn't have been looked after any better! Breakfast was delicious and they catered for a vegan with much care and forethought. I can highly recommend Glendon Guest House and look forward to our return.
A definite 5 star experience in Glendon cannot fault anything at all! Superb breakfast, comfy bed and modern shower with amenities. Nice touch bar fridge in room. Great to have a sitting room with port or sherry beautiful touch. House has been wonderfully renovated and owners go beyond extra mile. Highly recommend and will be back.
