Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'super clean' and 'immaculate'. This indicates a very high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.
The location is frequently described as ideal, offering easy access to local attractions and the wider Peak District. Its proximity to Matlock and various walking paths adds to its appeal, although one mention of nearby road noise slightly impacts the score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, there are a few comments about the settee being uncomfortable, which suggests room for improvement in seating comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with all the essentials and a few extras. There is a single mention of the property being cold upon arrival and a desire for a washing line, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs well.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, with several mentions of welcome packs including wine, biscuits, and dog treats. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Matlock 2 miles. This lovely stone barn conversion is situated next to the owners’ 17th century farmhouse, on their working arable farm, high up on Matlock Moor, just two miles north of the beautiful spa town of Matlock. Tastefully furnished, this cosy cottage is ideal for walkers, as trails run right through the farm and past the doorstep, and those who take their walk following a small white ball around will feel chipper knowing that the prestigious Matlock Golf Club is just 130 yards away. The sitting room with dining area has wooden flooring and is a sociable place to enjoy a meal and to snuggle up on the big squishy sofa in front of the woodburner-effect stove. Step through to the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, where you will find everything you need to create a culinary masterpiece, or fuel up in preparation for the many and varied adventurous days the area has to offer. On the first floor is a double bedroom and a convertible twin room for flexibility, which have lots of natural light, and there’s also a contemporary shower room off the landing. Outside is a large lawn, so you can sit and watch the sun go down with a glass of something you fancy. Close by is the popular town of Matlock, along with the neighbouring Matlock Bath, where you will find a number of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with the attractions of Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Also within reach are the towns of Bakewell, Ashbourne and Buxton, as well as the magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. A comfortable base for your Peak District getaway.

The 12 year old in our family discovered the very cosy window seat in the main bedroom and enjoyed hiding away reading behind the curtain at any opportunity!! We would recommend a stay at this cottage.

We felt so comfortable. Our three year old loved her bedroom with its own basin and wanted to stay longer (for ever she said). Warm, comfortable and perfect for exploring the local area. Wine and treats (including something for the dog) was a lovely touch. Surprisingly quiet considering we were on a working farm. Would recommend to anyone and would love to stay again in the future.
