Explorers Retreat Matlock Bath

Explorers Retreat Matlock Bath was a unique and fun experience! As a solo traveler, I loved the quirky cabins and the adventurous atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing great tips on local activities. The cabin was clean and cozy, perfect for a solo retreat. The location was stunning, with easy access to beautiful walks and the charming town of Matlock Bath. While the facilities were basic, the overall experience was fantastic. It's a great choice for anyone seeking a bit of adventure and a taste of nature.

Booked the pirate room for my birthday son and he loved so much . Clean toilet, downtown many restaurants and supermarkets. no hesitated to recommend to anyone.

We were two families booked for 3 nights in the pirate rooms. The rooms directly overlooked the park and it was a short distance into the town. I would not recommend Gullivers to anyone with mobility issues; there are steep hills both in the park and to the accommodation. The rooms are big enough and good to have a sink, fridge and microwave. The picnic tables outside meant we could eat together. My children loved the themed rooms too. Some features in the room were a little tired and there was a weird smell in ours that didn’t disappear but in my relatives room all was fine. It was nice to have entertainment. My children really enjoyed this and the host, Lily and another man were patient and fun with them. The receptionists were really kind helping us with plates and cutlery to eat and it was really helpful to be able to use a washing machine as this was a stop on a multi stop holiday. I would recommend it as a fun place to stay.

A lovely site, we are off peak so relatively quiet, however I can imagine in season it would be busier and livelier but suited our needs! We stayed in the wizard room, it had its own balcony, and on first appearance was pretty faultless! Great views and surroundings! A few minor improvements in relation to house keeping could be made, stains on the curtains, slight tear in the duvet cover at the seam, and a little more attention to the cleanliness of bathroom (cob webs). Upon check in was informed room had just been cleaned and was able to take room over 1 hr early and so the room hadn’t been left vacant but these I will say are minor and didn’t impact massively on our experience and wouldn’t be a reason not to return! Staff very friendly and the lady on reception Saturday night was extremely helpful when I was experiencing car issues and found me a bottle and filled it with water to assist with my car issues and providing info on local garages. Rooms are well sound proofed and even though in close proximity to the play park unless was on balcony no noise could be heard from other guests! It would be a ideal place to stay for families with younger children!

Was a lovely little room. Clean and cozy. Down points are that room was too hot with no means to cool it down and no spoons or stirrers to make the drinks. Would deffo recommend but if your like me and get hot too quick then ask for a room with aircon.
