Hodgkinson’s Hotel Shortlist*
Matlock Bath, Derbyshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
Zoe and Chris Hipwell’s personable small hotel has ‘superb’ views, across the rooftops of the historic spa village, towards limestone cliffs and the River Derwent. The terraced gardens have space to sit; inside the Georgian town house, most of the restored features (ornate glasswork, a tiled entrance hall, the wood-and-glass bar) date to the ownership of Victorian wine merchant Job Hodgkinson, who stored his wares in the Roman-era cave. Some of the traditionally furnished bedrooms have river views; in one, a four-poster bed and a roll-top bath; in another, ideal for a family, a pull-out couch and space for an extra bed. Modern European dishes are served in the intimate restaurant. ‘Excellent walks’ from the door.
