The Cotton Rooms is a superbly renovated and furnished apartment right in the heart of the popular Peak District town of Matlock, sleeping up to three people in two bedrooms. It provides perfect accommodation for couples, young families or single travellers wanting to stay in style and enjoy all that the Peak District has to offer.
The luxurious apartment tastefully mixes the characterful features of the old building with new and modern interior styling. Every detail is thought of with high quality cotton sheets and mattresses making for a cosy and relaxing stay. In the living room, the huge windows with wooden blinds allow light to stream in to the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas. While Matlock offers many fantastic restaurants, The Cotton Rooms' kitchen is fully equipped to cook up a feast should guests prefer a night in.
A reserved parking space is available for guests' use and is included in the price.
The Cotton Rooms is right in the heart of the popular village of Matlock - there are numerous pubs, cafes and independently run shops in easy walking distance from the front door. Once famed for its hydro and spa treatments, Matlock's central location, scenic surroundings and public transport links make it a popular base for exploring the best of the Peak District and Derbyshire. The Cotton Rooms is therefore the perfect base for walkers with many circular walks starting and ending in the town.
Crown Square and the river Derwent lie at the heart of Matlock, and the gateway to award-winning Hall Leys Park with its boating lake, riverside walks, tennis courts and skateboard park. For a trip back in time, hop on a steam or diesel train operated by Peak Rail from Matlock to Rowsley, or head for nearby Crich Tramway Village and pay an old penny to ride on a vintage tram. Guests can alternatively head for the Heights of Abraham and take a cable car ride between spectacular limestone cliffs and wooded slopes for panoramic views of the Derwent Valley.
Guests at The Cotton Rooms will not be disappointed - it's perfect location and the luxurious interiors will ensure a cosy and comfortable stay.

Take ear plugs
Clean apartment with a comfy bed and well equipped.
Double or triple glazing and blackout curtains are a must, street traffic noise is horrendous even through the night.

Really lovely stay.
Really lovely stay. The flat itself was lovely - very nicely done. The street was very noisy - especially at the weekend until quite late. Could really do with some double glazing to help - especially in the bedroom. Other than this a perfect stay with everything I needed for the week.

Highly recommended accommodation
The apartment was comfortable and spotless and in an ideal location for all local areas. Only fault a little noisy at nighttime but that can be expected on a main road. Suggest you take earplugs.

Lovely apartment in a great location, everything we needed. Easy to park with the Rover pass around the back of the apartment. Very neat, clean, tidy and comfortable. Highly recommend a visit to the Viva Italian restaurant a few doors down.

Lovely cosy little flat, as described, and a nice area with plenty of options to eat and drink.
We agree with other reviews that say the bar across from us was quite noisy with music but we got used to it (and found it quite amusing!) and it didn’t go on too late into the night. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Excellent location! Very clean and comfortable!
The location was excellent. The place was very clean and comfortable.
There was no toilet paper. Probably an inadvertent slip.

Totally relaxing stay in enchanting Matlock
Location, high quality furnishings with homely touches. The apartment had everything we needed, and more, for a wonderfully relaxing, luxurious break.
Bathroom could have done with an extractor fan and the sensor light in the hall took some heating used to but these were absolutely MINOR complared to how much we loved the place.

Very stylish comfortable apartment
The apartment was beautiful. Made us very comfortable. Everything you could possibly want was in the apartment. Excellent home furnishings and decor. Nice style. The location was excellent if you drove, as Matlock baths was 25 minutes walkrely on public transport.
The property is situated on a main town road with heavy traffic.

Excellent!!
The location, the decor, the communication was all superb! Easily found as the address was clearly given to us beforehand with details to retrieve the key. Council parking behind the place was great and very good value. Details were sent to us to get a permit but we didn't bother with this. Lovely bars and restaurants right outside the door. We absolutely loved it and will definitely book again.

A brilliant place to stay to explore the Derbyshire dales
Comfortable, spacious apartment, perfect for three people. Decor was modern and stylish.
Although it was self-catering I had expected basics like salt & pepper. This is what is usually provided in properties like this and would be really helpful. The noise from the bar opposite was loud on the Saturday night but finished at a reasonable hour Otherwise the property was excellent.

Nice apartment but noise from bar across the road spoilt it.
We liked the apartment itself, it’s very nicely furnished. However there are blinds but no curtains.
Blackout curtains are needed. The door needs some attention, as it looks like people have been slamming it to close. The wood post on the outside was loose. Unfortunately we had extremely heavy rain, which resulted in a leaking ceiling. We reported the leak and was told the owners would be contacted and see if maintenance was available. No one checked to see if we were ok. We really feel that for the price we paid, and it could have been handled better. We shouldn’t have to be worrying about it the whole time. Spoilt our stay.

Decor was simple and pleasing, rooms had everythng you needed, for example, hairdryer, cleaning products and cooking implements
It was cold and wet, checkin was 4pm, there was no heating on. It would have been more welcoming if it was cosy. We also had no hot water. I spoke to Ian, who was charming, but couldn"t solve it straight away, so, no hot shower! As there was hot water the next day, I feel the boiler had not been on long, adding to the chill on arrival. We did get the radiators on and it warmed up nicely.

A good choice, great location.
Good location in Matlock, handy for bars and food. Supermarkets close by. Free parking, which was in an odd place, but I had no problems. The apartment was spotless, the beds were comfy, plenty of hot water from the shower. A really good choice, and at a very fair price. Two separate bedrooms, one double, one single bed.
The extract fan in the shower/toilet didn't seem to work, and it could get quite funky in there. The entrance door was a challenge when we arrived, the owner warned us there was a knack to it, and we soon got used to it but maybe it should be fixed. couple of things you would expect to find, like bottle opener/corkscrew, and toilet brush were not there, also, there were no instructions for any of the machinesthe heating. worst thing was the noise from the bar across the road which kept us awake till 1:30. I am sure this wouldn't be a problem during the week, but we went Friday and Saturday, and it was crazy.
