Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'super clean' and 'immaculate', indicating a high standard maintained by the owners.

The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal for exploring the Peak District, with easy access to Matlock and surrounding attractions, though one review mentions road noise.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting cosy furnishings and a warm atmosphere. Comfortable beds and a large television are specifically mentioned, although one review suggests the sofa could be more comfortable.

Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and good shower. However, a few guests noted the absence of certain items, such as a milk jug and a washing line.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome treats for guests and pets, though it should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Matlock 2 miles. This lovely stone barn conversion is situated next to the owners’ 17th century farmhouse, on their working arable farm, high up on Matlock Moor, just two miles north of the beautiful spa town of Matlock. Tastefully furnished, this cosy cottage is ideal for walkers, as trails run right through the farm and past the doorstep, and those who take their walk following a small white ball around will feel chipper knowing that the prestigious Matlock Golf Club is just 130 yards away. The sitting room with dining area has wooden flooring and is a sociable place to enjoy a meal and to snuggle up on the big squishy sofa in front of the woodburner-effect stove. Step through to the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, where you will find everything you need to create a culinary masterpiece, or fuel up in preparation for the many and varied adventurous days the area has to offer. On the first floor is a double bedroom and a convertible twin room for flexibility, which have lots of natural light, and there’s also a contemporary shower room off the landing. Outside is a large lawn, so you can sit and watch the sun go down with a glass of something you fancy. Close by is the popular town of Matlock, along with the neighbouring Matlock Bath, where you will find a number of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with the attractions of Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Also within reach are the towns of Bakewell, Ashbourne and Buxton, as well as the magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. A comfortable base for your Peak District getaway.

The popular town of Matlock has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century.

Close by are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park, as well as many other attractions to visit.

    Location info should mention bus stops as they are easy to spot. We really enjoyed our stay and lovely cottage in really good location and very dog friendly. Biscuits and wine to welcome us was a lovely touch. Thank you

  • Ceri

    Very helpful and friendly owners. Welcome pack for humans and dog much appreciated. Cottage had everything we needed and a fantastic hot shower, perfect at the end of a long days walking. Great location with walks direct from the farm and handy for local towns.
