Matlock Bath's 'little Switzerland' gorge, Peak Rail's steam trains, Crich's tramway museum and the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor are all nearby. The Peak District's myriad of other holiday attractions, including Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, are to be found in the surrounding hills!

Reviews

Excellent, well equipped cottage. Lovely welcome from Ann and the welcome hamper was plentiful. We were lucky enough to be able to spend some of the evenings enjoying the commanding view from the terrace/patio.

Ms W,

Tranquil setting with glorious views. This property is ideal as a very comfortable base for a quiet, relaxing holiday or for exploring the area. The substantial welcome pack was a bonus and much appreciated.

Mr V,

Loved the location with views. Lovely hostess who left an excellent supply of goodies to welcome us. Ann also personally showed us how to operate back gates plus more info.

Location

MATLOCK

Matlock is a historic thriving tourist destination dating back to Victorian times when the railway reached the town and visitors used to come to take the ‘mild water cure’ in the many spa hotels. It still is very much on the tourist map today, being the ideal place from which to explore the many local attractions but also a place that really ‘lives’, with independent shops, a couple of supermarkets and Dale Road with its numerous pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Set in a cauldron of hills, there are lots of days out to be had close by. Matlock Bath has got to be on your list. A 2-penny ride on a tram at the National Tramway Museum will take you back in time. Peak Rail’s trains steam up the valley to give you another taste of the past. And then of course you can explore Sir Richard Arkwright’s Industrial Revolution village at the head of the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor.

Matlock is in the centre of everything, even when you look to the east towards Chesterfield, because this opens up another vista of attractions. Chesterfield itself with its colourful market square is worth a visit. Hardwick Hall, of Bess of Hardwick fame, is not much further. How about storming Bolsover Castle’s battlements or being one of the ‘Merry Men’ in Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest.

Local pubs - Duke of Wellington, 300 metres away, The Thorn Tree, Twenty Ten Bar and others in Matlock.
