Property code: OC-78532

Book a stay at this beautiful cottage, located beside a stream, between Matlock and Tansley, near the Peak District. Once part of a working mill, the delightful, three bedroom abode sleeps six guests and also welcomes one happy hound. Head off on long walks through picturesque Derbyshire from the Grade II-listed stone property; potter around the shops or eat out in Matlock or simply relax on the balcony listening to the stream.

Make your way into the unique holiday home to leave your outwear in the hall and find a ground-floor WC. Head into the lounge/diner after busy days out to settle down in front of the Smart TV, play games together and enjoy holiday feasts around the table. On warm days, throw open the French doors to bring in a spring or summer breeze or step outside on to the balcony. Take turns at cooking in the kitchen whenever you want to eat in and find another table in here to pause at with your morning coffee. Venture up to the first floor to find a twin room, a double and a king-size, along with the family bathroom. Enjoy the opportunities for outside living afforded by this exquisite cottage. Find a second patio at the holiday home for summer lunches out in the fresh air. The cottage comes with cycle storage and parking for two cars.

Plan hikes in the Peak District or long walks from home during your stay. Visit Carsington Water, 9 miles away, for water sports and fishing, or Ogden Reservoir, 4 miles away for scenic waterside walks. Spend time in Matlock shopping in the independent shops and dining out in the cafés, pubs and restaurants at Crown Square. Have an afternoon out at Heights of Abraham, 3.5 miles away, and enjoy a cable car ride.

This cottage is so well equipped, everything has been thought about. Very comfortable beds and fantastic location and worked well for our group of 5 adults and a dog. We loved the Bentley Brook tap room which is only 5 mins walk from the cottage. Would definitely book again

Superb cottage, one of the best we've stayed in. Very well equipped. Lots of guides, books, DVDs, games etc. if the weather is poor. Grear TV channels available (sports, movies etc.). Kitchen very well equipped. Lounge area large, but might be a squash for 6. Although sleeps 6, I think anything above 4 might be a problem. Allocated parking for 2 caRead morers, but plenty of other parking available on Lumsdale Road just a few yards away. Lots of pubs nearby - we recommend the Gate Inn at Tansley (always busy, but can book online) and the Tavern Tansley (quiet, but very welcoming). Great base for exploring the southern Peak District. Would thoroughly recommend. Hide

We had a very comfortable stay in this attractive cottage. We found the cottage to be very clean (no cobwebs or dust!). The beds were especially cosy. We enjoyed being able to walk to Matlock, Matlock Bath and on to Cromford (a pleasingly eccentric bookshop with a cafe at the top!)

The cottage was well presented and smelt lovely on arrival. Very comfortable sofa and living area.

The cottage was beautiful and we all enjoyed staying there. The beds were very comfortable, We found the walk into the centre of Matlock takes about 20 minutes rather that the 10/15 suggested. Matlock is a lovely town and we enjoyed exploring it and sampling local cafes and pubs. We recommend Butter Fingers caf and The Red Lion. The Antiques centreRead more on Dale Street is also worth a visit. Hide
