Guests say
The Bottling Shed in Matlock is a well-received cottage offering a peaceful countryside experience with the added luxury of a hot tub. Guests have praised its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and the privacy and seclusion it provides. The stunning views and proximity to local amenities make it a desirable getaway. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently noted the property as very clean. One mention of a stain on a mattress protector suggests room for improvement, but this seems an isolated incident.
The location is celebrated for its seclusion and privacy while being conveniently close to shops and restaurants. The countryside setting and views are particularly appreciated.
The property is described as comfortable with a nice layout and a comfy bed. A suggestion for a larger bed and a note about a slippery shower tray indicate slight room for enhancement.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub. However, comments about the lack of drying space for towels and the absence of 'hot tub towels' suggest some areas could be better equipped.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category. Guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

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!

Really good location, super clean and homely. Hot tub was the icing on the cake. Only thing which could have made it more comfortable would be a king size bed

Thoroughly enjoyed the relaxation in the hot tub, especially in the dark evenings, with the lights on. Even though the cottage is pretty small, it seems to have everything you need.
