Duke of Wellington

In Matlock, a pet-friendly, family-friendly guesthouse within walking distance of the town centre and steps from Lumsdale Valley and Crown Square. Minutes from Peak District National Park and Chatsworth House, it’s a handy base for exploring the Derwent Valley and nearby attractions.

Housed in a 19th‑century former Drovers Inn and working farm, redecorated in a warm traditional country style. The smoke‑free property has nine cosy guestrooms, extensive floral gardens and a fully enclosed heated patio that looks toward Riber Castle and the Derwent Valley.

Bar/lounge, garden seating and a restaurant area, plus an on‑site playground and easy access to hiking and mountain‑biking trails. Free on‑site parking and family‑friendly facilities make it simple to relax — wake up to garden mornings and head straight for the Peaks.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property and tour/ticket assistance, with free self‑parking on site.

Quench your thirst at the bar/lounge and taste local flavours in the restaurant. Full breakfast is available for a fee.
