Great house and even better location

We had booked for 10 people last minute (as we'd been let down by another holiday let) but couldn't have asked for a better house. Great location, really warm and welcoming with a good hot tub & games room. Would definitely recommend

Great group property - very clean and all the necessities to be able to arrive and enjoy your stay

Very clean, tidy and with a lot of usual additions like travel cots, highchairs, hot tub towels, pans, plates etc. We booked the house to celebrate my parent's 60th birthday and there were a range of ages and the house fitted us all perfectly. Matlock is a lovely little town with lots of great places to eat and drink at.

Family Birthday

Great location, 2 min walk into Matlock. Fantastic house, lots of character and perfect for a large family , although needs some TLC on decor and facilities. Advertised with a Hot tub which was fantastic , and also a Sauna which we never found. Games room in the cellar really good for our family although pool table warped and half of the lights didn't work. Overall a great weekend.

40th birthday weekend

Property was well maintained and equipped. Spotlessly clean and smelled freshly painted and newly renovated, brilliant location - 5 minutes walk to Matlock centre. Each room has it's own ensuite bathroom and game rooms was good for the young children, the hot tub was big enough for about 7 people but we managed to squeeze 2 kids as well!. The only minor criticism is that we were only supplied with 1 toilet roll per room (for 2 nights) and only 2 dishwasher tablets were left but other then that it was a beautiful Victorian house and a brilliant stay

A pure slice of heaven

Three generations (a group of 11) came to Matlock seeking a wonderful family Christmas after some health issues that had rocked us to the core. The house and its wonderful location provided the perfect place for us to recalibrate, restore and renew. We loved playing Fussball and pool in the games room, delighted at a glass of bubbles in the spa, reminisced over long and lazy breakfasts, and feasted each evening is the superbly equipped kitchen. On the rare occasion we left the house, we enjoyed country walks with superb scenery and explored the charming antique and curiosity shops nearby. We loved every minute and feel ready to embrace the next chapter, whatever it bring. Thank you to Dan and team.

chilly Matlock

Everything would have been great but for the fact that the house had not been heated prior to our arrival. We turned up at 4pm and it was 11C inside and by 10pm was still only 16C. It was seriously too cold to sit and relax. It’s a big house and takes a long time to warm up On the second day it was fine just a shame the heating hadn’t been switched on earlier

Location was brilliant- train station, supermarket and bars were all within walking distance.

We came to Matlock with the kids and grandkids from Canada, to show them their roots! The house was just perfect. A perfect spot for family and friends to visit, and we were within walking distance of shops, pubs, and a park. Daniel was very quick to answer any questions we had. We had an amazing time, and it was hard to leave!

Stayed here with a group of friends. Communication prior to arrival was excellent. House was lovely and exactly what we wanted. Lovely big kitchen table for us to sit round and nice garden area to enjoy the spring sunshine. Location is excellent very close to all the amenities of Matlock but also in a quiet location. Fabulous walks available right on the doorstep. Would definitely stay again
