Your next big holiday is sure to be extra special when you choose this spacious abode that’s surrounded by stunning Peak District countryside. Elevated above bustling Matlock, you’ll be able to celebrate in style with your group of 14, embracing the secluded location and enjoying celebrations that last well into the night. With a games room, outdoor areas and ample dining and relaxing spaces, you’ll find plenty to entertain your entire party.

Contemporary style meets old-world charm in this property, creating a comfortable living space that will appeal to guests of all ages. Enter the kitchen and cook up a storm, putting the state-of-the-art gadgets to the test and making good use of the granite worktops and central kitchen island with seating. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge allow the morning light to stream in whilst you enjoy your first coffee of the day, and there is a wood burner to make evenings cosy. The cellar features a pool table and access to the outside area where you’ll find a large garden complete with seating, a BBQ and a hot tub. At bedtime, you’ll have flexible sleeping arrangements to suit your group thanks to the choice of seven bedrooms.

A jewel in Derbyshire’s crown, Matlock (3.5 miles) is one of the most popular destinations in the Peak District, and it is no surprise why. Perhaps it is the glorious surroundings, the bustling town centre, or the generous scattering of friendly cafes, pubs and restaurants. It could also be the exciting prospect of riding the Peak railway, or the close proximity to Matlock Bath with its annual illuminations and Heights of Abraham cable cars. Either way, this is a truly special destination for families and friends alike.

Absolutely lovely holiday. Riber house had everything we needed. The views were amazing. We had a walk down to Matlock from the house which wasnt too far, the walk back up was strenuous but fun. Not to missed is the hot tub on an evening when the light goes down. Would highly recommend this lovely house, fabulous for a large family getaway.
