"Matlock Bath is famed both for "taking the waters" and the healing properties of its springs. These days, Matlock Bath is more about watching Kawasakis and Hondas than taking a cure, but not if you stay at the picturesque 1802 New Bath Hotel.
Set in a stunning 5 acres of picture-perfect grounds, it boasts not one, but TWO pools both fed by natural thermal springs. The outdoor pool, from where you can gaze over the beautiful Derwent Gorge, is open from May to September, and the heated indoor pool is year-round.
With a sauna, solarium and tennis on-site, you won't be stuck for something to do. Or why not venture out into Matlock Bath itself? Home to Gullivers Kingdom, a fantastic mining museum, and Christmas lights to rival Blackpool's, there's always something to tire you out before returning to the sumptuous New Bath Hotel.
With free parking, a front desk that is manned 24 hours, wi-fi, tea and coffee making facilities, room service and baby sitting plus much much more, this charming hotel has all that you could want."
