Barringtons – A Favorite for Families in Matlock (Derbyshire)

Barringtons offers 5 en suite rooms, each with a 32-inch flat-screen TV and tea and coffee making facilities. The Family Suite and Luxury Double Room include a four-poster bed and a sofa, with some rooms offering a view of the parkland at the rear. A Deluxe Double Room provides a desk and armchairs alongside a king-size bed.

The hotel's restaurant, operated by the Whitworth Park kitchen team, serves a modern menu including Sunday roasts, steaks, and homemade pies such as the steak and ale pie. The oak-panelled bar offers cocktails, Hobgoblin ale, and Guinness Zero, with a separate dining area. Evening meals are available from the garden menu during warmer months.

Family rooms accommodate up to four guests, and children's meals are listed on the menu. The property has a large garden with outdoor furniture and a parkland view at the rear. Groups can book the Small Twin Room, which includes two single beds, or the Family Suite with extra space for socialising.

Barringtons is located in Darley Dale, 3 miles from Matlock and within 15 minutes' drive of Chatsworth House and Bakewell. The Peak District National Park is directly accessible, with the Cromford Canal and Darley Dale Park nearby. A bus stop directly outside the hotel provides service to Matlock and other Peak District destinations.

The hotel provides free parking on site, though spaces are limited to around 5 or 6, with alternative street parking available.
