Guests say
Oakwood House in Matlock is highly praised for its spaciousness, high-quality furnishings, and beautiful views. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and en-suite bathrooms. The property's garden and proximity to local pubs and attractions add to its charm. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with spotless bed linen and well-kept rooms. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as an unclean fridge, sticky dining table, and outdoor areas needing attention, slightly lowering the score.
The location is consistently lauded for its stunning views, proximity to Matlock, local pubs, and attractions like the Crich Tramway Village. The ease of access to hiking trails and sightseeing opportunities contributes to a high score.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mentions of the luxurious beds and pillows. Some feedback on the need for better ventilation and the absence of a toilet on the living floor slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms for each bedroom. Points of feedback include the need for better waste disposal, towel hooks, and heated towel rails. Some guests also suggested improvements like a games room or a gate for pet safety.
While guests are grateful for amenities and the welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine the consistency of such thoughtful gestures. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that future guests will receive the same.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!

Quiet location in a pretty village handy for walks, attractions and a good pub. Super showers, very comfy beds in a variety of configurations. A bath in one en suite-good for young children. Plenty of storage. A very well equipped kitchen with just about everything a large self catering group might need (could do with a sieve and some serving spoons please). Plenty of pans,cutlery and crockery etc. Thereâs a great steeply terraced garden with a warm water hose for washing the dog,various sitting areas and a lawn as well as a giant rockery (care needed for the very young and the older person..). The living area is great for the large tv and board game playing. Plenty of local information. There are lots of dining chairs and four large sofas and a chair in the open plan sitting area, all of which are very comfortable. Altogether a house which is very stylish but also super practical for a large multi generation family party. Glass topped tables take the fear out of toddler meals! Talking of which there are stair gates, high chairs and cots available. A nice welcome pack, plenty of sockets (even near mirrors!) and charging cables are provided. Good WiFi and off street parking all go to make this a really fantastic holiday home. The owner responded very quickly and helpfully to our queries. Itâs on three floors so plenty of stairs to keep you fit for the peaksâ¦

The house is absolutely fantastic, with a superb open plan kitchen/dining/living space and generously sized bedrooms - perfect for entertaining and socialising, as well as privacy and solitude when needed. The views are spectacular and the local area is picturesque with 2 fab pubs close by. There are baby gates, high chairs and a cot available making it very infant/child friendly and the kitchen has every utensil you could wish for, a great help when rustling up our Christmas Day feast. There are only 2 cons and they are very minor; 1 being we found it very hard to turn the heating down and the secondly the bath towels are small so Iâd recommend taking your own. Aside from that, it was everything we hoped for and more - we will without a doubt be back! Thank you so much
