Wow, what a fantastic place! The house was spacious enough for all 12 of usand the rooms were super comfy. The games room kept everyone entertainedand the hot tub with that stunning view was definitely a highlight. We're already talking about coming back next year!
Emma
We loved the place! The views were stunningand the house was so cosy and bright. The owners were really helpful, making everything smooth. The hot tub and games room kept everyone entertainedand the bath with a view was a real treat. It's quite secluded, so a car is a must, but the cows didn't bother anyone, even our friend who's not a fan of cattle. We'd definitely go back!
Alex
We had a great 3-night stay with 14 of us. The house's views of Matlock are stunningand the walk into town is quite steep but manageable. Kitchen facilities are well-stockedand the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Very relaxing place overall!

Emma
Riber House really is stunning, both inside and out. The views are just breathtaking-those sunsets are something else! The hot tub and full-size pool table in the games room added a nice touch, making our stay even more memorable. Kim and Richard were fantastic hosts, always on hand with great communication before and during our visit. Nothing was too much trouble. All 12 of us had a brilliant time and we'd definitely love to come back. Thanks so much for a lovely break!

Emma
We had a lovely stay at this place. The house is stunning and really well stocked with everything you might need. It's a bit tricky to get to because of its hilltop location, but that's part of the charm. The garden was perfect for relaxingand the beds were super comfy. The hot tub with those views was definitely a highlight. The welcome pack was a sweet touchand there's plenty of space to unwind quietly. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into making sure guests have a good time!
Emma
Riber House turned out to be a wonderful spot for our family gathering to celebrate Dad's 90th. We were 13 in total, from toddlers to seniorsand it suited us all perfectly. The seven bedrooms and the open-plan living area made everything so easy and comfortable. We had a blast in the pool room, holding nightly family competitions after dinner. It's a bit off the main road, but once you arrive, the scenery is stunning and super peaceful-definitely recommend arriving in daylight! Kim and Richard made us feel right at homeand we'd love to come back sometime.
Sarah
We had a fantastic time at the house with our group of 14! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, super peaceful and quiet. The place was spotlessly finished and just what we needed for a relaxing break. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, especially the Bakewell puddings and fresh bread. The hosts were really friendly and approachable. Definitely a 10/10!
Emma
We recently celebrated my sister's birthday with the whole family - 13 of us including adult kids and partners. The place is stunning, super spaciousand finished to a really high standard.
