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.

Would definitely recommend to one and all. If I could point out a couple of minor things, the main oven may have been mistakenly over looked as it could do with a clean, also more detailed instructions on turning up heating as we could not turn it up and downstairs bedrooms were cold. Would we stay again? Absolutely, in-fact already booked for next year.
