On-site brewery: Moot Ales crafting traditional beers
“The Red Lion strikes me as a proper free house in Matlock, where the on-site brewery and locally sourced meals really stand out. I think it's a particularly good choice for couples seeking a quiet getaway, with its adults-only atmosphere and convenient access to Peak District attractions. I especially appreciate the blend of traditional pub charm and modern comforts.”
