Holbein

About this property

Holbein is a charming lodge situated near the River Derwent in Hackney, Derbyshire. With off-road parking, welcoming one well-behaved pet, and uninterrupted views from the hot tub, this inviting retreat is perfect for couples seeking a serene escape near Matlock and the stunning landscapes of the Peak District National Park. A short 300m walk to the lodge creates a sense of privacy.Upon entering the single-storey Holbein, you are greeted by a beautifully crafted curved interior of this cedar-built space. The open-plan area is cleverly designed to maximise space, featuring a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area. The kitchen is equipped for all your culinary needs, while the dining area provides a suitable spot for enjoying meals. The sitting room is a haven of relaxation, boasting a woodburning stove and a TV, perfect for those chillier evenings. When the day draws to a close, dive into the double bed in this studio space, ensuring a rejuvenating night's rest after a day of exploration. A sliding barn door leads you to the bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, providing all the conveniences for your stay. Step outside onto the decking, where you can unwind with a cold one and soak up the countryside views. The outdoor furniture provides a lovely spot for a morning coffee, a book, or a meal with a view. For an added touch of indulgence, immerse yourself in the warmth of the hot tub, perfect for soothing tired muscles and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. From here, the stunning countryside views can be appreciated, making Holbein a truly idyllic retreat. Venture out to visit Chatsworth House, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, which is an architectural masterpiece boasting remarkable collections of art, a stunning garden and a delightful farmyard and adventure playground; the perfect spot for a day out. Step back in time at CRICH TRAMWAY VILLAGE, a lovingly recreated period village with a working tramway, where you can take a delightful ride on a vintage car and absorb the captivating history. Don’t miss Haddon Hall, known as 'the most perfect English house to survive from the Middle Ages', showcasing medieval, Tudor and Elizabethan architecture paired with enchanting terraced gardens. Any visit to the Peak District would not be complete without a stay at the delightful Holbein.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. 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. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
