The Coach House in Matlock is highly praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and central location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, dog-friendly amenities, and the warm, homely feel. The property is noted for its character and proximity to local shops, cafes, and countryside walks. Some guests mention parking challenges for larger vehicles and a preference for additional bathroom facilities, but overall, the cottage receives positive feedback for its comfort and charm.

Guests consistently describe the property as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.

The central location is frequently commended for its convenience to town amenities and the beauty of the nearby countryside. However, some guests note difficulties with parking for larger vehicles.

Reviews often highlight the property's warm and cosy environment, comfortable furnishings, and the welcoming atmosphere. A few guests mention the double bed could be improved for added comfort.

The property is well-equipped with kitchenware, entertainment options, and a warm cupboard for drying. Some guests suggest the addition of a shower and shaver point would enhance the facilities.

While guests appreciate the dog-friendly touches and the provision of local information, there is no mention of gifts, and therefore it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in this regard.

Reviews (21)

  • Rachel

    Comfy bed so we both slept well. All things considered this cottage was a great choice for us. Needs some nice wine glasses and that would be our only criticism, very enjoyable break.

  • Kathryn

    We could walk to get a coffee, and groceries. Double bed was very saggy and really quite uncomfortable. We would encourage the owners to replace it.

  • John

    Its position is prime for all Wirksworth treasures. Maybe instructions for the oven and washer would be a bonus
