Reviews for Castle Green B&B
Review 1:Found the bed a bit too firm for me. I have an arthritic hip and need a softer bed. Otherwise everything was superb.
Review 2:Lovely hosts, excellent facilities, really good breakfast, very quiet location.
Review 3:Nothing to dislike!
Review 4:We received a very warm and friendly welcome, our room was decorated and furnished very tastefully. The wet room was beautifully done, even the towels were fluffy! The breakfast was to a high standard. We enjoyed our stay at Castle green and would recommend it to our friends and family.
Review 5:Our £90/night room was not cleaned during our stay! I mentioned this as my husband and I checked out and was told (presumably by one of the owners, though she never introduced herself) it was because we were still in the room at 10.30am, which was the only time she cleaned the rooms. I mentioned that we were just having a relaxing morning before leaving for the day and would have been happy to have vacated the room early if she had let us know it was the only time we could have our room cleaned. I then explained, that we left the room shortly after 11am and didn't return until 10.30pm that night, so it could have been cleaned during that time. Her haughty response was that she didn't know if we were in the room and didn't want to disturb us. She was regretfully quite rude, and attempting to blame us for our room not getting cleaned was absurd. As I told her at the end of our conversation, my husband and I would have preferred (at the very least) to have had a knock at the door at 10.30am to let us know it was the only time our £90 a night room could be cleaned.We also didn't appreciate that though the booklet in the room had endless rules for the guests, like how we needed to be sure to keep quiet (it was written as if we were in a school setting, not an semi-expensive B&B), we were woken up at 7.00am by the staff who were clanging dishes and laughing. The room was also very, very cramped and the bathroom was always damp. The breakfast tables were also so close together that when people were sitting next to you it was as if they were at the same table and one can barely squeeze through them to get out. They also only serve breakfast for 1hr 30min every day, which causes everyone who is staying there to eat at the same time.Honestly, there were many, many bad things about this place. Too many to name in fact. The location (within walking distance to Matlock) and the fridge were really the only good points.
Review 6:It was nice to have a little fridge in the room. It was withing walking distance to the town.
Review 7:Janet and John are perfect hosts and Castle Green is a perfect location for exploring the local area.Rooms are comfy and clean and the breakfast is spot on.
Review 8:N/A
Review 9:Castle green met our expectations good location, lovely comfortable room,clean and welcoming.Friendly and down to earth hosts.Breakfast was great.will definitely go again.
Review 10:The room was excellent. Spacious, well appointed, spotlessly clean. Really couldn't find fault. Breakfast was just lovely, and tasted fresh, which is not always the case at some B&B's. John and Janet were model hosts, welcoming and warm.
Review 11:Not a criticism but for someone with back problems such a soft bed is not a good idea!
Review 12:Hosts are friendly & welcoming, breakfasts delicious, cosy room and in wonderful setting.
Review 13:John and Janet were friendly and welcoming, without being too pushy. Genuinely nice people. Spotlessly clean accommodation. Our room had good views of the hills in the distance. The addition of a small 'fridge in the room was an unexpected bonus. Guests are welcome to use the garden patio area, which was lovely. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend it.
Review 14:The owners were friendly, helpful and easy to talk to. The room was very clean, a comfortable size and the bed and pillows were a dream to sleep on. The bathroom was very clean and had all of the required extras. Had a mini fridge in room.
Review 15:Better than the pictures. Warm welcome. Excellent room small but everything one needs plus more. Freshly cooked breakfast. Very clean with power shower. Fresh milk in fridge in the room.

Review 23:The location was perhaps a little far from the centre of Matlock.
Review 24:We enjoyed the peaceful setting and the birdsong.The owners couldn't have been more friendly. The room was immaculate, and the silent fridge containing proper milk was a definite bonus.

Review 34:Great family room, clean and comfortable. Good recommendation for a family meal out at a local pub. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Review 46:Everything from the reception from the owners to the friendly advice on routes as we were leaving was perfect. The bedrooms are comfortable with a brilliant power shower. Breakfast is lovely and excellent value for money. Perfectly located for Matlock and the short train journey to Matlock Bath. We will definitely return and would recommend to anyone.
Review 47:Nothing
Review 48:My hosts were warm, friendly and informative about the local area. The room was very comfortable and had perhaps one of the best sized shower cubicles I have come across in a B & B. The inclusion of a fridge that was silent was both a useful addition and therefore didn't disturb my sleep which is something I have never been able to say before. The B & B is about 5 minutes walk from Matlock town centre and is a good base from which to explore the county.
Review 49:Our stay at Castle Green was excellent I would recommend it to anyone. The staff were friendly & helpful asking us how our day was recommending places to eat asking what our plans were for the day
Review 50:The walls between the rooms are quite thin and we could hear noises in the next door room. The bed in our room squeaked when we moved slightly.
Review 51:Very attentive owners, tasty breakfast and comfortable well equipped bedrooms.
Review 52:The location is ideal,ample parking. John & Janet made us feel very welcome from the onset,the quality of the full English breakfast top class,My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again should we visit the Peak District. As the sign says on the door Arrive As Strangers, Leave As Friends.
Review 53:No tissues provided.
Review 54:Excellent spot for an overnighter or extended stay. John was very helpful in providing information regarding places to eat and or pubs worth a visit. The room was quiet and comfortable and breakfast next morning was well cooked and presented nicely.
Review 55:At night, I could hear a neighbor snoring. Every time someone turned a tap on, I was aware of the water force in the pipes, going on intermittently until after 10pm. This is a problem that they are aware of and being looked into.
Review 56:I found the reception I got very friendly and inviting. The breakfast was nice - nothing special. For a single room in high season, I found it very good value, but glad that I did not have to pay full price for a double.
Review 57:Stayed here for two nights on our weekend break to the Peak District. Quiet location with a short nice walk into the center of Matlock. The room was very modern and well equipped, we especially liked having a ceiling fan. The bathroom was large with a lovely walk in shower. Only thing missing in the bathroom was a stool. I like to sit down and dry my feet after a shower. It also may stop people walking into the bedroom with wet feet. Breakfast was delicious we had the full English both days. The sausage and bacon were particularly nice. Our hosts were charming and provided very useful information on places to eat. So great location, great room, great hosts. Would use again if we return to the Peak district.

Review 66:Welcoming owners, comfortable room, good choice for breakfast. The B&B is at the end of a small road so it was very peaceful but only a short walk to the nearest pub (which does amazing food) and to the town centre.
Review 67:Pillows were a bit uncomfortable.
Review 68:John and Janet were very friendly and knowledgable, eager to give you advice on where is best to visit and eat/drink in the area. Lovely breakfast, loved the fresh fruit and yogurt being available to all, and it was clear if you wanted something a bit different in the way of a cooked breakfast they'd do all they could to accommodate you. Bedroom was lovely, modern, extremely clean, and the bathroom was spotless which really means a lot to me. Shower was nice and big. Thank you for a lovely stay.
