Get away from it all at this stylish cottage sitting on a quiet lane on the outskirts of the lovely market town of Matlock. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms, this contemporary home is ideal for small families or groups of friends hoping to uncover the wild beauty of the Peak District. Spend a day browsing the independent shops and cafes in Matlock’s Crown Square, and in the evening, come home to dine alfresco on one of the cottage’s two patios.
Park up in one of two private parking spaces and step inside this adorable home away from home. The mood is set for a memorable stay from the moment you step into this chic open-plan space, where you’ll find ultra-modern dining and kitchen areas, as well as a stylish lounge area with a wood burner. Rustle up some dinner and enjoy a sociable meal at the quaint dining table, or head outside to the large front patio and eat at the picnic bench. After dinner, chill out with a glass of wine on the second patio, or head back into the lounge to stretch out in front of the wood burner. When it’s time for bed, a wide spiral staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, where you’ll find two lovely double bedrooms – one of which has French doors opening out onto a small patio with outdoor furniture. Completing the layout is a stylish shower room with underfloor heating.
Head off to ride the cable car at the Heights of Abraham (3 miles) – an area so pretty it has been nicknamed ‘Little Switzerland’ by the locals. Glide high above the Derwent Valley and at the top, take in the amazing views of the lush Derbyshire countryside and the pretty village of Matlock Bath.
