The Old Stables

About this property

Nestled in the charming town of Matlock, Derbyshire discover this superb two-bedroom property, The Old Stables. Boasting an enclosed garden with lawn and furniture, a stylish and well-stocked kitchen, two neatly-presented bedrooms, as well as close proximity to the local amenities The Old Stables welcomes four guests to relish a peaceful escape to the Peak District. Upon entering your new home-from-home, kick back and relax in the homely sitting room as the woodburning stove roars away next to you; allow the allocated chef to rustle up a tasty dish, taking advantage of a fantastic array of high-quality appliances ahead of settling down at the dining table to tuck in. If you prefer, why not make use of the lovely enclosed garden to delight in alfresco mealtimes, or enjoy a late-night tipple as the sun sets in the distance? Retreat to the first floor to take an indulgent soak in the tub if you begin to feel sleepy, ahead of opting for either a king-size or twin bedroom to catch your rest in. If you can tear yourself away, begin your adventures at Lumsdale Waterfall, which resides only a short walk away from your doorstep, or head into the centre of Matlock to find Matlock Bridge and Hall Leys Park where you can admire an abundance of fauna and flora. Here you can also stock up on the essentials at the handy convenience store or treat your loved ones to a hearty meal at one of several pubs and restaurants including Duke of Wellington and The Sycamore Inn. Close by, you can also pay a visit to Matlock Bath Aquarium, the Peak District Mining Museum and Heights of Abraham, perfect for admiring your stunning surroundings from a great height. Venture into the Peak District National Park for more adventures, offering much to do and see such as The Hidden Druids Caves, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House. However you choose to fill your days here in Derbyshire, do it from the charming base of The Old Stables.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
