This impressive four-person retreat offers lavish accommodation on the cusp of Matlock. Situated amongst a cauldron of hills, Matlock is a sparkling jewel in Derbyshire's crown. Once a thriving destination for spa waters in the Victorian era, today Matlock boasts an array of attractions including eateries, independent shops and the beautiful Hall Leys Park. Matlock Bath lies a short distance away (1.5 miles), perhaps best known for the annual illuminations that run from September to late October as well as the beautiful little Switzerland Gorge and cable cars. For history enthusiasts, the tram museum at Crich with its two-penny rides is a must, but you’ll also have iconic destinations such as Chatsworth House (8.5 miles), Bolsover Castle (16 miles) and the Peak Railway Heritage Line (3 miles) to enjoy.

Traditional from the outset with its old stone walls and beamed doorways, the interiors of the property have been thoughtfully styled with comfort in mind. Soothing lighting, sleek furniture and oak flooring set the scene, whether you are cooking in the compact yet excellently equipped kitchen or snuggling up to watch films on the sofas. The first bedroom is downstairs, providing a welcome retreat for weary guests with an en suite shower room, a TV, and twin beds that can be pushed together and made up as a super king size bed on request. A winding pine staircase reveals the first-floor bedroom that has high vaulted ceilings and a crisply-dressed king size bed. There’s a TV for watching your favourite shows in bed, and the adjacent bathroom has state of the art fixtures and fittings such as waterfall taps, a deep bath and a separate shower.

Step outside and bask in the views from the comfort of your garden, dining alfresco or sipping your first coffee of the day in the sunshine. Mainly set to gravel, there is also a parking area with space for three cars.

Lovely comfy well located cottage, really the only negative I have to say is there there is almost nowhere to store food, maybe some of the extra mixing/serving bowls could be located in the utility area as they are not an everyday use, and maybe too many cups and plates, at least 12 mugs and cups and 12 different wine glasses, its only a 4 bed accRead moreommodation, or maybe thats just us, but once the fridge was full no space for any of the dry food. We had a small issues and it was sorted promptly by the owner. Hide

We had a really nice stay in the Barn. It was a perfect location for walks and sightseeing in the Peaks. The accommodation was very clean and warm and the beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Field barn is a cosy and extremely quietly situated cottage high above the small town of Matlock. Perfect for 2 to 4, expect a well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a sitting room that is comfortable and snug. No traffic noise, you can sleep with an open window. In the summer, you have plenty of space outside, and all year round yRead moreou can start on short walks straight from the cottage. Going into town on foot is a bit of an expedition (very steep to come back up from the town), so if youre looking for fitness, this can be easily obtained. Overall, we were very happy with the cottage, the equipment and furnishings and the hosts service. We did find the bed in the top bedroom a bit on the hard side, with the springs noticeable, despite a soft topper, but of course this is subjective. Hide

Field Barn is a lovely property, very comfortable and well equipped. Warm and welcoming with amazing panoramic views. The only downside for us was it was a drive into Matlock Town Centre and the walk back up would have easily taken an hour. If you don't mind driving it is an ideal place to stay, apart from that cannot fault Field Barn.

We had a lovely holiday in a warm, cosy cottage. The only reason for the 4 under equipment was that two bed side lights weren't working and we struggled with the heating system as the instructions in the book did not match what was actually there. None of this prevented us from having a good break and the owners were very helpful.

The cottage is spacious, well equipped and tastefully restored. Even though it was cold and frosty the cottage was always warm. It is on the edge of playing fields which was ideal for our dog and there were walks from the cottage. It was on the edge of Matlock and involved quite a walk to the centre, which could present problems for someone with moRead morebility issues, but it is centrally located for the Peak District as a whole. At the moment there are road works in the centre of Matlock and the directions given don't work! I don't know how long the roadworks will take, but it might be worth modifying the directions for the time being. We enjoyed ourselves and would love to return when we could enjoy the garden. Hide
