Riber House Reviews

Alex Carter
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was comfy and well kitted out. The scenery was stunningand the owners were super friendly and nearby if we needed anything. The access road was a bit tricky for newcomers, but we had no issues at all.
James
Beautiful home, perfect for family, really enjoyed the stay!
Emma Carter
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!
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!
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!
Emily
The house was fantastic-spotless and really well-equipped, with some lovely touches all around. The hot tub offered stunning views, which we loved! Definitely recommending it and hoping to come back someday.
Emma Roberts
