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.

Mini Summer Break
Stayed in a Wuzard Room at Explorers Retreat which was perfect fir our granddaughter. Really well decorated and special. Breakfast selection was limited but reasonably priced. Accessibility to Gulliers was perfect 4 min walk.

Not clean
The main parts (bedding, bathroom items) were clean but don’t look any closer at skirtings, radiators, edges or carpets etc. these were grim, dusty and full of cobwebs. The bedding didn’t fit the bed, the sheet didn’t reach the top of the bed and I had to redo the quilt cover.
I picked up a handful of bits of fluff and debris from the floor before putting my baby down to avoid him putting them in his mouth, his feet were black from crawling.

Lovely stay, great entertainment for the kids at night. Room was cosy, bed nice and comfortable. Could do with a few more tea bags as only 2 in the room.
