Ideally situated right in the centre of Matlock.
Central Matlock. Rover parking a must. Lovely park area. Plenty of take away shops and pubs.
On the top floor so no good for disabledinfirm.

It was cosy, clean and very bright
It was cosy, clean and very bright. Everything to hand and easy to use. Close to the river and town, either going round the back to the bridge and through the parkdown the road to the main bridge. Easy to got around by public transport, including Matlock Bath, The Heights of Abraham and Bakewell. Cafe's, restaurants and pubs very close by, though the Remarkable hare stood out for food. The only think that had hubby complaining a little, were the stairs LOL. Would definitely stay again if we are ever down that way.

Hi Beverley,
If you could pop us an email about the bed & stairs then we can see what we can do to make things better for future guests.
Thank you
Lovely little flat with everything you need for a long weekend. Great location, comfy bed and sofa. Oven, fridge, hob and shower all work perfectly.
Everything clean and nicely presented. Will happily visit again.
Please provide a pen so we can write lovely things in the visitors book and we’d advise using sealant around the sink.
Thanks for a great stay.

Absolutely perfect location for our trip.
We are both retired and not as mobile as we were. Bus stop literally just outside and train station a very short walk. And lots of shopping close by.
Nothing to dislike.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Matlock. The apartment was in a great location - on the high street. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is on the top floor and, although it is on the main high street, it is very quiet. It was clean and tidy. I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Matlock.

brilliant location
brilliant location. Bonus with having a parking pass. Good short stay accommodation.
The key lock was hard to engage to get the keys. The locks on the door were difficult as well. Difficult getting the keys to turn.

We are pleased to see you enjoyed your stay at Nelly's Nook.
Just to let you know that we are in ongoing talks with the owners of the apartments in the building to work on getting the locks improved.

Other than the hot water issue on the first night, I had a great time.
Lovely space, in a great location.
The first night I had no hot water and it was a struggle to figure out how to get it on. Thankfully I figured it out (with the help of my brother-in-law on FT) but there was no information on how to work this either.

cute little well located property
excellent location and spotlessly clean
I asked questions about items included in the kitchen and the response back from Finest Retreats was inaccurate which was extremely frustrating. When acting on behalf of the property, they need to contact the owner to get accurate information. It has put me off using Finest Retreats again.

Comfortable, homely and convenient
Flat is clean with all things you need for a short stay - washing machine, iron, cooker, microwave, kettle, shower, wardrobe, sitting furniture. Towels, bed duvet cover and under sheets replaced.
Fiddly to enter because front door key has to be withdrawn slightly. Summer sun shines through bedroom window blind waking you up too early. A black-out blind is needed.
I booked this break for a 2 day break having seen the property on line and picked it out as somewhere I wanted to stay. Everything was exactly as per the photos. Really high quality, lovely and clean, excellent location, very well presented, and quiet. Great for a couples break and so convenient for shopping, walking or just sitting in the local park and watching the world go by. Plenty of places to eat nearby, would thoroughly recommend!

This is a very well-equipped place to stay, located a few hundred yards from the railway station and the town centre, with a view towards the trees of the park, and the hills beyond. I spent two weeks in self-isolation here and became quite comfortable. There is no noise at all from other flats in the building double-glazed windows block out external noise and there’s a quiet air-ventilation system too. All appliances are new, all furnishings comfortable. Very happy to recommend.
