About this property
Resting in the popular town of Matlock, Derbyshire, is this charming detached cottage, Eastview. Set over two floors and sleeping up to six guests, Eastview is a delightful home away from home for your Peak District adventure, with easy access to the Matlock Bath and Bakewell. Arriving at the property, you will find off-road parking for your car, in the cottages’ garage. Unload your bags and make your way up to the elevated property, to be greeted by a lovely front garden filled with vibrant flowers and shrubs before stepping in. Be welcomed in to the large sitting room, where you can look forward to enjoying a glass of wine on the corner sofa, whilst you flick through your favourite shows taking advantage of Netflix, Disney and Prime Video subscriptions and soak up the warmth of the gas fire. The designated chef will have all they need to cook up a storm for you all in the contemporary and well-equipped kitchen, which has a handy dishwasher and washing machine! Tuck into a delicious meal in the ample dining room as you discuss plans for the days ahead. When sleep calls, make your way up the stairs where you will have a choice of three tastefully decorated rooms, opt for the king-size, double or single with trundle, each with ample space and impeccable views of Riber Castle and Matlock town. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a long soak or speedy shower and freshen up for the day in style. Enjoy your morning coffee in front garden, which is known for being a sun trap, or settle down in the enclosed courtyard with your favourite book. Venture out of the cottage to find all the amenities you could need right on your door step, from convenience stores for picking up essentials, to the Duke of William pub just around the corner if you don’t feel like cooking one evening. Head to the Grade II listed Pic Tor War Memorial which sits at the heart of a summit and commemorates the 178 men from Matlock who lost their lives in the First World War. Hop on the brilliant alpine-style cable cars which will take you up to the 60-acre Hilltop Estate, where you can get involved with cavern tours, exhibitions and even treat your loved ones to a rare dining experience at the Vista Restaurant, with views overlooking the Derwent Valley and Matlock Bath. Take the short drive to the neighbouring town of Matlock Bath where the children can enjoy a day at Matlock Bath Aquarium & Arcade, discover history at the Peak District Mining Museum, or enjoy a fun-filled family day out at Gulliver’s Theme Park. Just a little further is the superb town of Bakewell, home to the Bakewell Tart, a must-try whilst your visiting! Take a leisurely stroll of the historic Bakewell Bridge, delve into the town’s history at The Old House Heritage Museum, or enjoy a few rounds of golf at Bakewell’s very own golf club. Enjoy a refreshing break with your loved ones to Eastview and explore all the hidden treasures of the Peak District.

The location provides both a perfect setting off point for hill walking, as well as into Matlock center to the shops etc. We have large car - Ford CMAX, which fit snugly into the garage. The house is lovely, cosy, clean and well fitted out, with views over the valley. The kitchen has everything you need and the house has an cellar as optional drying room. Very helpful and responsive owners.

Itâs clearly maintained by a cleaning company and needs a bit of TLC cleaning wise, you certainly donât get the homely thoughtful touches that I have experienced at many other holiday homes. I think it should be made clear just how bad the parking is, there is a tiny garage which is situated on a blind bend, therefore particularly dangerous to get in and out of, but realistically most cars wouldnât fit. The on road parking is a decent walk away uphill if you can get a space. The closest we managed to park was 5mins away, not great with 2 small children. Anyone with any mobility issues would struggle. The house is on a main road which was rather loud all night. If you want a basic stay and can get about easily or have a small vehicle which you are very confident driving then this house would be good for you!

Nowhere near enough utensils in the kitchen and the following is required: Scissors Sharp knives - only one provided Colander Potato peeler Proper tin opener and not the one out of the ark Measuring jug Fridge is too small and the door shelf was broken and fell out as soon as we put out milk in it. There were loose slats in one of the single beds and my 88 year old father- in- law said it was very uncomfortable as the mattress was slipping through the gaps. The house is not decorated to a high standard and it would be much nicer if there was more lighting and much brighter colours used for decorating. We didnât like any of the furniture either. I was not impressed with being told to strip all of the beds and be out by 10.00 am
