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!

A few points. The king size bed has very noisy springs! The fittings on walls don't seem to be very good. I was constantly worried about things falling off. Just little things that would help get your feedback to 100%. Otherwise, a great stay, extremely pleasant. The little extras, like lighting and the goodies you left for us, all helped to make it a great time. Keep up the good work, and thank you.

We are 5 friends who get together every year. and the maisonette was perfect for us. It was spacious, had 2 bathrooms and a toilet, and it was spotlessly clean. It also had everyhing we needed in terms of kitchen equipment, as well as tea, coffee, milk in the fridge as well as some other items which made life really easy. The small bottles of wine and a packet of brioches were a lovely touch too. In terms of location, it was great as it was just a short walk down the hill to the centre of Matlock, but close to a couple of small craft ale pubs which we really enjoyed. Rachel's instructions were very clear and we had no problems with access or anything to do with the mainsonette itself. Although there was limited parking outside, it was easy enough to park on nearby streets. This was a really great place to stay and we would highly recommend it to others.
