When we arrived the cleaner was still there but we knew she would be because we were early. Once in the cottage seemed really small and low especially all the doorways and in the bedroom the lights hang down low I’m 6’4 and banged my head numerous times my wife is 5’4 and had no problem. A good suggestion in the bedroom would be to put flush ceiling lights in rather than hanging pendants. The car park is really tight and when we came out one morning someone had scraped my car as we were in the big car park just up the road, if you have got a really small car then parking is not a problem. Also after we had cooked breakfast we went to wash the dishes but there was no washing up liquid or no spare bin bags for the bins.the outdoor space is so small and overgrown and didn’t get any sun even on a really sunny day. Steve the host was great and responded really quickly if needed. Overall a nice cottage fit for a hobbit and in a great location

Two great weeks in Matlock

Thanks for the lovely 1 bedroom flat near the main park in Matlock. It was super clean and the host kept in touch when we had questions. The parking space was too small for our rentalSUV but we managed to find street parking each night. We would definitely come back.

Really lovely property, nice and cosy. Only small bugbear is that some kitchen items were grimy/icky to the point that we bought cutlery from Boyes to use. Regarding parking, we have a long car (wide estate) but it has good manoeuvrability. Having said that, it was a parking space that we had to reverse out of and then down the entry lane. So we were fine with one person guiding (to avoid the stone walls) but it might not be good for some cars

Very nice stay in Matlock

The house was very cosy and in great condition. The location is great and its so handy to have parking. If you have a big car it may be a little tight. I have a Volvo V90 which fitted but only just.

Exactly as advertised

Good central location for Matlock (not up a hill). Park very close for dog walking. Very comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Car parking a bit tight as mentioned but ok for a average car - the drive in is easy, backing out slow but no real problem. Very nice stay esp. the easy short walk to all central pubs and shops, after a day walking in the surrounding hills.

Absolutely beautiful cottage and perfect location for me - not isolated and lots to do on the doorstep- perfect for me wanting to be out in the hills.Christmas tree was a nice touch but would have been better with fairy lights. Very highly recommended. Only negative is that my car would not fit in the designated space.
