Ellen House
About
Ellen House is a quintessential Bed & Breakfast nestled in an elegant Edwardian terraced house on the edge of the Peak District, just a short walk from Matlock town centre and the rail station. The home offers a warm, homely atmosphere with fully en‑suite rooms furnished to the highest standard – think central heating, flat‑screen TV, free Wi‑Fi, tea and coffee facilities, and a selection of quality toiletries. Three rooms are available: a double, a double with a bath, and a spacious king‑size garden room that opens onto a private patio and the house’s terraced garden. Breakfast is a highlight, served buffet‑style each morning. Options include a classic full‑English, a continental selection, and a range of award‑winning vegetarian and vegan dishes such as lentil bakes, oatcake stacks and herby mushroom toast. Fresh fruit, fruit crumble, Greek yoghurt, and homemade jams complete the spread, and special dietary requests are happily accommodated. Ellen House’s location offers easy access to the natural beauty of the Peak District—ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts. The garden provides a peaceful spot to relax after a day’s exploration, and the friendly staff go the extra mile to provide local tips and car‑park guidance. Whether you’re looking for a quiet break or a base for day trips to Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, Ellen House combines comfort, convenience and a touch of local charm. Rooms are available at competitive rates: the Double Room starts at £100 per night and the King Room at £105. During quiet periods guests can book directly online or by telephone at 07540 440990, while the B&B accepts email inquiries and is happy to arrange packed lunches for bikers and hikers with sufficient notice.
