Enter via the enclosed front garden with a lawn and patio, a lovely spot to savour a hot cup of tea in the morning sunshine; this attractive cottage has contemporary, sleek features throughout with rustic furnishings to retain a cottage feel. Set the dining table for four in the gorgeous kitchen/diner, with soft tones, wooden countertops, and excellent amenities to rustle up your favourite meals, including a range cooker, microwave and fridge/freezer. After trekking through the Peak District, the warmth of a woodburning stove awaits in the sitting room; sink into the plush seating, put your feet up and watch a family-favourite on the TV. The rear, enclosed garden is another social spot to dine alfresco at the outdoor seating or let the little ones play safely with your canine companions! Find a beautiful, contemporary bathroom to hang your towel on the heated towel rail and choose between a relaxing bubble bath or a hot rinse in the spacious walk-in shower, before retiring to one of two bedrooms. A double and a twin room complete the property to curl up under the sheets ready for the next day's adventures. The centre of Matlock offers fantastic self-catering amenities, including shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafés to fuel your day, alongside family-friendly attractions such as nostalgic trips on vintage trains along the Peak Rail and plenty of parks to picnic and play. Take a short journey into Matlock's neighbour, Matlock Bath, to admire the displays at Matlock Bath Aquarium and arcade, take a cable car ride on the Heights of Abraham with cavern tours and exhibits, or treat the kids to thrilling rides at Gulliver's Kingdom. Families seeking the great outdoors have the Peak District on their doorstep; pack your walking gear and venture along hiking trails through stunning landscapes, spot an abundance of wildlife and pause at quaint villages for lunch. Bakewell is a historic market town with plenty of tearooms to choose from, as well as the popular Bakewell Bridge and The Old House, a Tudor house from Henry VIII's reign featuring local artifacts. If you're hungry for more history, Haddon Hall is a medieval manor house just south of Bakewell, with a grand Tudor hall and Elizabethan gardens to explore. For more amenities, the larger town of Chesterfield provides plenty to keep the whole family entertained, from cinemas and theatres to Tapton Golf Course! Enjoy a memorable family holiday at Cavendish Cottage all year round.
Matlock, a prominent Peak District town, and its neighbour, Matlock Bath, have been bringing visitors to the area since the late 17th century. The Matlocks, which are located in the magnificent wooded gorge of the River Derwent, provide a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as a number of attractions such as Gulliver's Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. The cable car that brings visitors up to the Heights of Abraham offers spectacular views down the gorge.

Warm, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen diner and bathroom were amazing. A suggestion would be if the owner provided an extra tea towel and bath mat but this is a very minor improvement. Our family really enjoyed staying at Cavendish Cottage and there was plenty of space for other family members to stay for the odd meal time.

Lovely space for a small family to return to after a day out in the Peak District. Large kitchen exactly as in the photos with a great range of quality cooking accessories. A real home from home. The heating was the easiest to use in any place I have stopped although I was hoping the weather would mean this wasnât needed! Log burner was also lovey on an evening while relaxing with a glass of wine. Upstairs an outstanding bathroom with the biggest bath Iâve ever seen! Bedroom was immaculate too. The one thing I really noticed was although this was a terraced cottage, it was so quiet and peaceful. As we have dogs I always take away my own Dyson as generally the vacuums in rentals arenât the best but here there was even a Dyson provided. Iâd highly recommend this property if youâre looking for a base to explore the beautiful Peak District

It was very easy to find and park up. We received a lovely welcome package on arrival too. The cottage was also perfectly placed for travelling to lots of nearby tourist attractions. Would definitely come back!
