The big pillow was a little uncomfortable, did realise there was a flatter one in the cupboard, in the morning !!

The breakfast was lovely, and the homemade jam and marmalade was a nice touch. It was nice to walk into the garden and sit and watch the birds and a squirrel eating the nuts ! Just a short walk into town too.

Ideally located for the centre of Matlock. Car parking available opposite the property. Comfortable room and bed. Accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable hosts. Anne's homemade biscuits are a bonus. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Would stay here again if holidaying in the area. And the train station is less than 5 minutes away. The King room has the added attraction of on outside patio/garden area.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Breakfast was lovely, fresh fruit, cereals and hot breakfast cooked to order, freshly brewed tea and coffee and host enquired if we needed any extras. Location was perfect, quite location but only a short stroll to restaurant and shops. Lovely garden to relax in. Lots of literature available on local attractions and walks in the area.

Anne and John were very welcoming and friendly, offered detailed advice & stories on places to visit / to eat and showed a lot of interest in how our day went. The room and breakfast area are decorated stylishly. The breakfast is organized via a checklist order form. This way you can compose the full english to your desire or order one of John's specialities. The Eggs Benedict are delicious and the full english had some refined touches. Anne made sure we were lacking nothing. The whole experience was superb. This was a 2 day stopover on our way home but there is enough to do in the Peak District to warrant a longer stay. We enjoyed our visits to Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall very much.

Our second stay at Ellen House - excellent food and location and the couple (Anne and John) who run it couldn't be more helpful.

There was nothing not to like during our stay here

The hosts of Ellen House b&b were so friendly and hospitable. Our room was the lovely garden room , very comfortable, and a welcoming tray of assorted teas , coffees and little pot of biscuits for us to enjoy . Very clean and tidy with everything you could need for a comfortable stay . The breakfast was lovely from the fruit , cereal , yogurt to the wide choice of cooked breakfasts . I would definitely recommend this b&b to friends and family and stay here again myself.

Everything. Such a lovely couple running the place make you feel like family straight away and lots of little touches to make things a bit more special than lots of other similar B&B's.

Stayed in July 2025

Everything. John and Anne were great hosts. The breakfast was to die for, with so much choice. Our room was comfortable and it was nice to be able to sit outside in the garden and relax in the evenings. Close to the station for easy access up and down the track, as well as close to amenities.

Whilst you can complain, its would be unjust And a dis-service to the hosts.

The “hosts” are very friendly, welcoming and glad human beings, they help you settle into their unique and homely B&B. Whilst space is premium they have endeavoured to maximise space & comfort. The house is ideally suited for entry into the Peak District and Dales.

Great position across from the train station (sheltered from view by trees), and short walk into town, and a lovely park with mountain views. Great hosts, excellent breakfast, free parking and comfy room with en suite. The garden, accessible from door next tho the room, is lovely.

I had a wonderful stay at Anne and John’s charming home. The room was spotlessly clean and delightfully cozy, making it easy to relax after a long day. Each morning began with a truly delicious breakfast—fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. There was acces to lovely garden as well. Altogether, Ann and John offer a warm, welcoming experience that I would gladly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Room had everything in that you could possibly need, breakfast was excellent and the owners were so nice, helpful, informative and made you feel so welcome, will definitely return

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like. I would definitely stay here again.

The location was a very short walk to Matlock town centre, right by the train station. The owners, Anne and John, were extremely friendly and helpful. Anne even checked a local shop opening time for us and also provided dinner recommendations in town. The room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We stayed in room 2 which has the sink in the bedroom and I thought would be weird but it wasn’t a problem at all. We also had our ensuite bathroom with toilet and bath/shower. There was parking opposite which i could use once Anne gave me a permit.

Over the years I’ve stayed in a lot of different types of accommodation, but Ellen House is by far one of my favourites. Location is fantastic - close to the train station, town, and various starting points for walks/hikes. The rooms are spacious, super comfortable, and scrupulously clean. Toiletries are provided, as well as tea and coffee making facilities. There’s plenty of storage space, and extra blankets are also available. Breakfast is superb, and they kindly adapt the breakfast to your preference. Every day I tucked into a different dish, and thoroughly enjoyed each one! But my absolute favourite part of my stay were the hosts Anne & John - both of whom are incredibly welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. Having lived in the area for nearly 20yrs they have a wealth of knowledge and made some great recommendations. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. If ever I visit Matlock again I would not hesitate to rebook Ellen House. Highly recommended!
