Ellen House

Apr 14th, 2023

I stayed in Ellen House for a few days in March, and it was a fantastic getaway from the noise and the pace of a big city. Anne and John went above and beyond to make sure my stay was enjoyable, they are incredible hosts that make you really feel at home. The rooms are very clean and comfortable; I had the room with the bath tub, and it was a delightful experience. And the breakfasts my goodness, they were sooo good! Absolutely loved this stay.

Incredible, absolutely incredible! The best B&B I have ever stayed in. Myself and my partner arrived to an incredibly warm welcome from Anne, and a rich atmosphere especially on the walls of family adventures and culture that embraces you. When we checked into our room for 2 nights we were absolutely delighted. It was a room filled with all of the right sized furniture and aesthetic, and out of the bright window, a lovely view of Matlock. The ensuite was very pleasent too, ready for a good shower even after a good long hike. The Room, 10/10 The garden I want to rate on a separate note. Me and my partner took a stroll in what was a garden ready to burst into life in the early stages of Spring. The design of the garden was well presented and it takes you on a journey, especially if you're a garden lover. The garden is beautiful and the layout surprises you at every turn in a positive way. The standout feature in the garden, what I believe is a Ribes sanguineum (the redflower currant tree) that hangs on the starting lawn from your first steps outside, it's a magical sight. The Garden, 10/10 And finally the breakfast. Wow! The breakfast I am speechless. I had Anne & John's beautiful South African breakfast two days in a row. I won't spoil the surprise if someone hasn't mentioned it on here, but the taste is exquisite, the overall experience at breakfast was fantastic. The Breakfast, 10/10 Though the ratings I have given seem extremely high, I promise our expectations were blown away. Me and my partner hope to return in the Summer and also see the garden in full bloom! For what was a 35th Birthday surprise vacation, it was an experience to remember for all the right reasons with Anne & John and their beautiful B&B. A big thank you from Natalie & Adam
