2 Bed Cottage in Matlock

About this property

The Old Chapel is a superb cottage in a peaceful hamlet hidden away in the secret little valley of Wensley Dale just beyond Matlock. Nestling among houses on the slopes of Oker Hill, the Chapel's light and airy rooms, cosy wood burning stove, beautiful ‘gallery’ and extensive equipment make this a wonderful holiday retreat.

You will be spoilt for choice if you like walking - by the side of the river into Matlock, up on to Stanton Moor to see the 'Nine Ladies' stone circle, along lovely Wensley Dale, or out over the hills on the nearby Limestone Way.

Remember also that Chatsworth House, the Derwent Valley Dams and all the Peak District's other attractions are close at hand. Alternatively, treat the children to a cable car ride across Matlock gorge or varied water adventures at Carsington Water. Perhaps all of you can then revel in nostalgia on Crich's wonderful tramway.
