Description
Field Barn is a real gem of a cottage - a fantastic find! Created out of a detached mellow stone barn it provides really classy accommodation with its superb lounge, ultra modern kitchen, luxurious bedrooms and 'state of the art' bathrooms. Set on the very edge of Matlock it overlooks the playing fields and backs onto open countryside stretching up to the woods on Matlock Moor.
Matlock is a lovely town nestling in a cauldron of hills with jumbles of cottages cascading down the hillsides and the river Derwent splashing down the valley. Hall Leys Park and the Arc leisure centre are super. Lots of little shops are there to explore as well as two supermarkets.
There are also lots of holiday attractions nearby. Matlock Bath with its cable cars and little Switzerland gorge is just down the valley. Peak Rail's trains steam up towards the Peaks. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are not much further and places like Carsington Water and the National Tramway Museum are in the surrounding hills.

An open-plan oak floored lounge, dining and kitchen area with French doors to the patio.
The lounge has quality leather sofas, electric coal effect stove, Smart TV and WiFi.

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 - The Thorn Tree, Twenty Ten Bar and the White Lion in Starkholmes.
