Since the late 17th-century construction of the resort, Matlock and Matlock Bath, two prominent Peak District towns, have drawn tourists to the region. The Matlocks, which are located in the lovely, wooded gorge of the River Derwent, provide a variety of stores, bars, and eateries in addition to a number of attractions like Gulliver's Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. From the cable car that transports guests to the Heights of Abraham, a fantastic location for the whole family with its showcaves, nature walk, water gardens, and Owl Maze, tourists may take in magnificent views of the gorge. The High Peak Bike Route begins south of the town, while the National Tramway Museum at Crich is only a short drive away. The market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park lie to the north and shouldn't be missed!

Julie
The kitchen appliances (fridge freezer and dishwasher) were less than adequate for the amount of people able to stay at the accommodation. Crockery was of poor quality, and a poor selection of cooking utensils. The bbq was covered in mould therefore not able to be used. The downstairs bathrooms had no mirrors. Insufficient amount of toilet rolls were provided. The hot tub was good as was the location of the property. The games room had a good selection of games but one pool que was broken, and better lighting was needed for the darts area. Although we had a wonderful time, we won't be returning.

The house was perfect with plenty of room and a fully equipped kitchen to feed the family. Set in a lovely private road, very quiet with lovely views. A lovely walk in the Darwin Forrest with the children to let off steam . The games room was a plus and was used by everyone as was the hot tub. Would highly recommend.

House spacious and clean. Hospitality excellent. Stuart was quick to respond to any problems/concerns that we had during our stay. He went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. A information pack would have been beneficial about the house and surroundings. Would definitely recommend this stunning house to others. Due to the hill I would recommend walking down to Matlock but getting a taxi for the return journey. Thank you. Claire Stayed 30th August - 2nd Sept.
