the hills less steep, but then the views would not have been so good.

Riber Hall Manor is a delightful house full of history and beautifully restored. It is located in a charming hamlet with stunning views. The bedroom and its own bathroom were sumptuous and very comfortable. The breakfast was first class and our hostess charming and very knowledgeable.

A little confusing upon arrival as there are multiple Riber Halls, 2 adjoining properties with same name, but got it sorted out.

Allyson was amazing, she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, provided significant history and entertained us with stories, fed us well and made us feel special. Highlight of our 2 week trip

Very old buildings can be idiosyncratic. Don't expect all the comforts of a modern building.

Very old manor house in a wonderful position in a tiny village. Interesting history, artefacts and furnishings. The host was attentive and helpful. She advised us how to avoid the very steep hill that other guests have commented on, so it was no problem. It was quite a cold night for May but there was a heater in the room.

Because this is an ancient building the stairs are a bit higgledy-piggledy so not suitable for the infirm.

As previous guests have said, the house is in a lovely quiet location and the history abounds wherever you look in this wonderful old building. It’s very clean and we loved the modern touches that go well with the old. Alison is a wonderful lady who was always available and she would ask us if we needed help with anything. Her knowledge of the area and the house is amazing and she is only too happy to share this with you. Lots for breakfast after a great nights sleep, if we’re in the area again would definitely stay here.

Some of the roads in the locality are a bit steep and narrow ... time to slow down.

The host Alison is lovely. Very kind, helpful and informative. Views were lovely. Met some other guests from New Zealand. They were stunned at the history.

There wasn't anything not to like.

The historic house with some rooms dating back to the 13th century was tastefully decorated and in a beautiful rural location not too far from the attractions of the Peak District. Alison was a charming host with incredible knowledge of the history of the house.

Excellent location in a very nicely appointed period property. Alison was a mine of information about the history of the House.

Alison was a fantastic host / local historian / guide. Very knowledgeable about the house. Was lovely having the history of where we staying made it extra special. The breakfast was super and again Alison the perfect host ☺️ ensuring we were fed and watered... Choice of cereal, toast, yoghurt, fruit and croissant. Teas coffees and juices. All furniture in keeping with the period of the house, and added some depth with a homely feeling. We slept really well and the peace and quiet was so relaxing. Views from house excellent and promoted by Alison we took a little (if not a bit steep) walk to view the whole of Matlock. Well worth a look. All in all fantastic night stay and one we shall be talking about for some time to come!! Thank you again Alison.

That we only stayed one night!

Alison greeted us on arrival and gave us a wonderfully detailed history of the house, from when it was built to when her family restored it over 20 years ago.

Nothing, it was a perfect stay.

Everything about our stay was perfect from the building to Allison the host. We wanted a break away from everything for my wife's 40th to rest and relax and this was the perfect place for that, it was peaceful and for the day felt like Lord and lady of the Manor. Allison was an amazing host and was so attentive to our needs. It was such a pleasure to meet someone who is so so proud of what she does with exceptional knowledge of the building and history. The hard work and effort her family have put in to restore this beautiful building is amazing, yes she owns the building but she is proud to be the custodian to share with the world. If anyone wants a get away this is the perfect place, you can shut yourself off from the world, go for beautiful scenic walks or a 10 minute drive to the charming matlock town/Bath. Highly recommend to anyone. We will certainly return Thank you Allison for an amazing stay at your home.
