About this property
A beautiful terrace, Victorian cottage, with an enchanting feel, posted within the magnificent village of Matlock. Complete with spacious rooms and comforting features, this accommodation offers an excellent stay for families. Wander up the delightful garden path, and you will be intrigued by a warm and traditional sitting room containing leather seating, a large TV, and tied together by a feature wood burner. This lovely room is ideal for welcoming guests, or putting your feet up after an adventurous day. An open plan kitchen and dining area neighbours this space, an inviting and cosy set-up to enjoy those evening meals. Take the stairs, and you will arrive at an elegant shower room, which offers quality features and a clear-cut finish. A signature element of this property is the super-king size bedroom, which echoes a character stone wall, colourful bedding, and a view over the garden; Riber castle and nearby hillside. A second bedroom holds two single beds and lovely floor rugs, making a nice cosy effect. Steep steps lead down to a contemporary styled en-suite bathroom, nicely fitted and well arranged to meet your needs. If this isn't enough, why not enjoy a glass of wine on a sunny day, while relaxing on the patio area outside. Further afield, the village of Matlock is sure to inspire you, with a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gullivers Kingdom. To the north is the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed. This is a very appealing cottage, tucked away into a memorable location.

It was spacious and we loved its quirky layout. It was very well equipped. The little garden was a haven for wildlife, with far reaching views. It was a peaceful haven, and yet all facilities were within walking distance (but be mindful of the very steep uphill return from Matlock centre). It was great to have parking on site or on the main road. And it is possible to fit 2 small cars in the cottage parking space (we had a VW Polo & VW Fox). We would definitely recommend the cottage as a good base for the area.

The taxi driver refused to take us with the dog but we got the X17 bus which dropped us at Duke of Wellington. We did some lovely walks to Riber Castle/Hall, Lumsdale Valley and Matlock Bath. The property has lovely views and has everything you need as a self catering property.

Every utensil provided. The pictures on the website don't really do it justice and we were pleasantly surprised on arrival.
