Wonderfully cosy property - underfloor heating individually controlled, radiators with full control, log-burner, hot towel rails...also very comfy, great sized rooms, two good bathrooms with excellent showers. Very well appointed kitchen with all the utensils you need and a big range cooker; coffee machine and also a cafetiere. Dishwasher and washing machine are in a utility room along with the kitchen sink, but it didn't matter much for us, and we cooked at home every night for our 3-night stay. Good internet and a big TV in a comfy lounge, lovely big kitchen table. Great communications and perhaps the best experience for house, arriving, leaving, instructions. Parking outside wasn't quite 100% but close. Great locations for walks from the doorstep (we walked to Matlock Bath and the cable car for example) and for popping into town. Nearby pubs and good chippy at the green (not easy to spot on Google Maps).
Tiniest minor point, the travel cot was provided but was a bit big for a 3-month old and so larger than the sheets we'd brought. But there were spare sheets. A couple of spare blankets for the beds would also have saved us having to have the heating on as much - but it was a very, very cosy place to be.

Property clean and tidy
Kitchen is badly set out and almost unusable as sink in a separate room and the table takes up all the space.
Cottage next door to a church and the bells ring every 15 MINUTES!!! They kept me awake both nights we were there
8.0 / 10.0
The property was very comfortable and clean with lots of nice added touches like the lovely welcome pack and bathroom soaps. It is beautifully decorated and the view from the back of the house is amazing.
I think it should be made clearer in the description about how steep the stairs are, as my elderly parents struggled a bit with this. Also, the position of the house is very high up and a good portion of the route down into Matlock is extremely steep. It would have been helpful to know this.

The cottage was beautiful. It was great to have a patio area, especially as the weather was gorgeous. A lovely location.
9.0 / 10.0
Well equipped. Very clean. Lovely decoration and quality comfortable beds and quality furniture through out.
Dressing tables with mirrors and plugs near by, often disregarded at accommodations but really appreciated by us ladies. Great view and we liked the church bells even on a Sunday morning !
Welcome pack was good with a Bakewell pudding which was delicious.
The property is located on a hill so you will need to walk down the hill to get into town, not a problem for most but the return back up to get home is a climb, so if you are not nimble be aware. It is a pleasant walk through the park though.
The rear of the property and garden really does need some work. It is uneven and rather scruffy and was the only thing that lets the property down. It did not stop using it and enjoying the view and sunshine, but seems such a shame when everything else was so lovely.

Absolute wonderful stay. Great instructions and welcome pack, made the whole arrival process easy. Host left us a lovely pudding treat which the kids enjoyed. Kitchen utensils, pots and pans, toilet paper, washing up liquid, teas and coffee were all present, it meant we didn't have to run out and do a big shop straight away. Makes a world of difference.
The property itself is decorated to a high standard and was just perfect. Heating already on and set at good temperature so we didnt have to mess about with that.
Met some lovely welcoming neighbours too.
Great location, with the park and town centre within walking distance which wasn't too bad for the kids.
Not a complaint but your on a hill and in a hilly area so just be prepared for that little extra leg power required when getting around. Also parking is not the best, it wasn't a problem as there is parking around however when you have young kids you want to keep the walk back to the cottage to a minimum. But really not an issue just thought it's worth mentioning so people know what to expect.

This is one of the nicest, cleanest and most beautiful well appointed houses we have booked on Booking dot com. That’s the best thing about using this hotel booker is that they have boutique rooms and boutique houses.
We chose Matlock because non of the 5 of us had been to Matlock before and as a family it was central for us all to meet and catch up.
Check in was very easy and the house was newly renovated, clean and boutique in fact everything they said it was in their description and more……
As customers all we want is what hotels and property owners put on the tin.
The lounge was a lovely place to relax and the wood for the open fire was a lovely touch, thank you.
The kitchen and sink arrangement is somewhat different but that’s a part of the charm.
The rooms were a good size and the beds gave us all a good night’s sleep.
There is a lovely pub near to the property that offer good food, service and drinks. They even let us park our car there for the weekend.
In summary:
This is a beautiful house that deserves its positive reviews so it’s highly recommended.

Lovely cottage beds really comfortable and very clean. Nice welcome pack. Easy walk into Matlock just perfect
The church bells can effect sleep if you are a light sleeper but you do get used to them

We absolutely loved the cottage, spotless, comfortable and warm - it was minus 5 on our first evening!
Extremely well equipped and in a great location - 5 minute walk down to the town.
Local pub 2 minutes away extremely friendly and welcoming to all of us including a toddler and a dog. Food was very nice too!
Cottage is perfectly located and a short drive from local tourist sites if required.
Claire was extremely helpful with any questions we had.
Bell chiming from the church nearby was lovely - and did not disturb us at all.
We liked everything

Great location, central Matlock about 10 minutes walk away. Provision of Christmas tree in our lounge for our Christmas stay was a nice touch. The 'bell chimes' from the nearby parish church on Christmas morning were delightful; not a problem for us at night - no louder than occasional passing traffic .
On street parking outside was often a bit difficult, but we always managed to find space within 100 metres. Kitchen a bit tricky to use as sink is in a separate utility room.

Very well refurbished old cottage over 3 floors - just a short stroll through the park to town centre. The local pub is at the end of the street with great staff and wonderful food.
PIR lighting on the landing lights up the entire house when someone goes to the toilet - it would be better of the lighting & Smoke detecter right above the double bed which emits a green light which is a little annoying if you are a light sleeper

I loved everything about this property. Exceptional standards, decor, facilities and location. Gorgeous interiors, warm cosy and luxurious. Everything you need plus many more additional fantastic features. Refreshing hot powerful showers, underfloor heating, log burner, incredible oven stunning views. I can’t recommend this property enough.
Nothing it was more than perfect.

Great location minutes walking distance from town so easy access to shops and restaurants but not in the busier part of Matlock either so is quiet too. It's on a hill overlooking Matlock so the back yard gives an impressive view which would be nice in summer.
Hosts were very responsive, responding to messages within the hour, check was super easy and the house was spotless on arrival.
Internet is very vast and I was bale to work remotely during the week easily as well.
House is spacious, two bathrooms made it ideal for my family would stay again.

It’s very well decorated and very well equipped. Also in an excellent location apart from that big hill you have to climb 🙈😂
If I had to moan about anything a downstairs toilet would be good as we went with elderly parents

This beautifully renovated town house was perfect for our stay. A fully equipped kitchen with everything we required. The beds were really comfy and the kids loved having the choice of rooms.
We have an older dog a Labrador, if there was a door at the bottom of the stairs and pets were able to be left unsupervised at the property this would have been better for our stay however it didn’t ruin anything.

My wife our lab and myself found this location great for all the local amenities and attractions, we also ventured into the dales with ease. The decor was very tastefully chosen and the property was very clean and well equipped, with everything needed for our stay. The view from the patio was lovely of the pretty church and town, which is stunning as night fall. We will 100% be booking again and taking the family next time.
That is a tough question to answer when everything is so nice.
