Box Tree

About this property

Box Tree Cottage is a superb cottage with its lovely decor, luxurious furnishings, glowing log burning stove and wonderful setting on the hill above Matlock. Hidden away in the garden of the18 century Wellfield House it provides a great holiday retreat in one of the most peaceful parts of this attractive market town.

The quality of the cottage is only matched by its views out between the trees and down over the Derwent Valley. Just to relax on the patio with an evening drink and gaze across to High Tor is an experience you will remember for ever. Then set off along the hillside to the many local pubs or down into town to the great cosmopolitan Stones, Mazzi Indian or Thai restaurants.

When you sit on the patio remember to pinch yourself to get back to reality because there is so much more to see and do. Matlock Bath's 'little Switzerland' gorge, Peak Rail's steam trains, Crich's tramway museum and  the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor are all gathered around the town. The Peak Distrist's myriad of other holiday attractions, including Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, is to be found in the surrounding hills!
