The house was fantastic, well kept and clean. It was spacious for my family of 4. The location is quiet and within a walking distance from the main street. It is better to rent a car of course, and there is a private parking. The owner is very responsive and it was a wonderful stay.

Lovely stay in a beautiful home.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was clean and had great facilities. It was clear a lot of thought had gone into the property to make it a relaxing place to stay. Matlock was a really nice town - we loved the independent shops and tried some of the local pubs including the Thorn Tree Inn and The Farmacy. Would love to return here in the future. Daniel was exceptionally helpful when we booked so thank you.

Hi Rachel- We are glad you enjoyed Bathman’s. We purchased the property in the first lockdown last year and spent the second lockdown renovating it. As soon as we walked through the door we realised it would make a great holiday let. The Thorn Tree pub is definitely my favourite just 2 minutes walk with superb views over Matlock.

Lovely Cottage with all the amenities you would want . Location is good near the town centre up quite a steep hill but we are in our seventies and managed it without a problem and found it good exercise. We had no real complaints and would highly recommend.

Beautifully finished spacious yet cosy property

Beautiful property which was very well finished. Super comfy beds and sofas, great showers and all appliances. Daniel was quick to respond and helpful throughout. Some comments in reviews about parking, I found this perfect and easy to navigate (and I have a pretty big Estate car). Really recommended property for exploring Matlock. Yes there are hills but it is the Peak district!

Amazing property and great location for stay in the Derbyshire Dales

The property is immaculate. Everything you need for your stay is within the cottage and there has been no expense spared on quality. Comfortable beds, very nice bedding, SKY TV in every room, amazing / spacious showers and a fully equipped kitchen. The sitting room is a great size, and if anything the pictures on the web site do not do the cottage justice. Internally is actually bigger than what the pictures suggest - something very rare these days! Would definitely recommend, and would have no hesitation in staying there again. The whole family loved it. A home from home!

Thankyou for your kind words Richard. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. Its lovely to hear your feedback about our well equipped cottage and we would love to welcome you and your family back one day. I have no doubt you would still have plenty to explore around the area especially the Peak District.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Taylor

Host profile image
We are Taylor Holiday Lets, a local family run holiday let business, and we personally manage and care for every property we host. Being hands on means we know each home inside out and can make sure it is always well prepared for your stay.

We live locally and love the Peak District and surrounding areas. We enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here, whether that is recommending great walks, places to eat or family friendly days out. Our focus is on creating relaxed, comfortable stays where guests feel well looked after, without anything feeling over managed or impersonal.

We take pride in offering well maintained homes, clear communication and a friendly, responsive approach from booking through to check out.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it offers the perfect balance between town life and easy access to the Peak District. Matlock has a lively, welcoming feel with plenty to see and do, yet you are never far from open countryside, walking routes and scenic views. It makes it easy to enjoy both relaxed days close to home and more active days exploring the surrounding area.

What we enjoy most is the variety the area offers for families. You can walk into town for shops, cafés and attractions, spend time outdoors nearby, or head slightly further afield into the Peak District for days out and adventures. We have spent a lot of time here ourselves and love how convenient and flexible the location is, making it a great base for guests who want a comfortable stay with plenty of options on the doorstep.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the space and comfort it offers for family stays, combined with a thoughtful layout and modern finish. The cottage has been carefully renovated to provide generous living areas, a large kitchen and flexible bedroom arrangements, making it easy for families to relax together without feeling cramped.

Both bathrooms are a real feature, with high ceilings, plenty of natural light and a mix of a large shower and a separate bath, which works especially well for families. Added touches such as Smart TVs with Sky Q in every bedroom, strong Wi-Fi, parking outside and outdoor seating areas help make the stay easy and comfortable.

Rather than feeling like a typical holiday let, the cottage feels practical, welcoming and well set up for family life, offering a relaxed base for enjoying Matlock and the nearby Peak District.
