A generous cottage nestled on a hillside between Matlock and Darley Dale, this well-proportioned holiday home enjoys fantastic views across the Derwent Valley. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat is less than 2 miles from the fringes of the Peak District National Park. From here, strike out on long country walks and exciting cycle rides. Visit Lumsdale Waterfall, 3 miles away, and Nine Ladies Stone Circle, 3 miles from the cottage. Head into Matlock to potter in independent shops and have afternoon tea out. Plan trips into Bakewell, 7 miles away, to enjoy its colourful outlets and perhaps sample a taste of its famous pudding. Visit the stately home of Chatsworth House, 7 miles away, during your stay as well.

Enter the cottage to find a sizeable lounge, with sumptuous sofas arranged for your comfort around the Smart TV and wood burner. This adjoins a light-filled dining room, where you and your party can gather for special meals. The kitchen is also a generous space and has a bright, contemporary feel. Here there is ample room for food preparation and storage, as well as a central island, with breakfast bar, for perching at with a cup of fresh coffee from the machine. An adjoining boot room houses additional appliances. There is also a WC downstairs at this property. Upstairs, there are two king-size bedrooms, with beautiful views. One has an en-suite shower room and the other an occasional day bed that can be made up for an additional charge if discussed at booking. There is also a double bedroom and a family bathroom, with roll-top bath.

The garden here is terraced, with steep stone steps, due to its hillside position. Choose whether to sit out in the sunshine to dine in the fresh air or to relax up in the covered seating areas, where you can relax on the comfortable seating and take in the far-reaching views.

This is a wonderful property for a family stay. Very spacious, comfortable and well equipped in the kitchen. My family and I spent a week here and had a wonderful time catching up with family and friends who lived nearby. The location is a short drive into Matlock; the walk into town is just over 30 minutes although I would recommend a taxi back duRead moree to the hills! The area is steeped in history and we were spoilt for choice in finding interesting things to do: Heights of Abraham; Chatsworth House; Peak District Mining Museum in Matlock; Cromford Mills; we even ventured to Alton Towers and Dovedale for a hike although the stepping stones were impassable due to flooding. We had also booked to see the Matlock illuminations but unfortunately this was also cancelled due to Storm Babet and the high water levels. We ate out a few times in Matlock - recommend Spice (Indian restaurant), Thai no1 and Buddys. The Remarkable Hare was our pub of choice. Back at the house, just 10 minutes down the Lane was a local pub which we also visited. Parking on the drive can be tricky due to the steepness, and I wouldnt recommend this property if you have mobility issues for this reason, but for anyone else its a definite winner! Hide

Springbank was an absolutely stunning property. The photos do not do it justice. The rooms are large and airy, and appear much bigger than the photos. We felt let down by the number of toilet rolls (1 per bathroom for 6 people for three nights was not enough). We were only given 1 dishwasher tablet, and a minuscule amount of dish liquid, we had toRead more go out and purchase extra for our stay. There were no dishclothes available to use to wipe down counters. All in all a wonderful property, with just a few niggles. Garden had everything needed and the views made up for the weather not being on our side for the weekend. Beds were very comfy, and the bath was a hit with our group! Hide

Lovely house, clean and nicely decorated and tasteful art. Fantastic views over the valley and along to High Tor and the Heights of Abraham. Well equipped, (good maps too) but we would have liked a cafetiere as we don't like the wastefulness of the Nespresso capsules. Also we always find that the pans in houses for 6 adults aren't big enough for coRead moreoking a full meal (or perhaps we just eat too much!). The beds were very comfortable. We felt it was a little mean for a property at this level to have left so little toilet roll, kitchen roll and firewood. Also it would have been handy to know where we could buy more firewood and kindling. Although it warmed up so we didn't need it! We didn't spot a CO2 monitor but guess there must be one somewhere. We loved having places to sit outside and were luck enough to be able to take advantage of them. Maybe there needs to be clearer instructions re where to leave bins for collection as one wasn't collected? Thanks though, we had a great holiday. Hide

Then two small suggestions - the main bathroom could do with a bath mat, we had to use a towel. finally the second bedroom needs more plug sockets - we had to make a choice between having a bedside light and charging a phone. These are all small matters though, overall we really enjoyed our stay, many thanks. Sorry for breaking some wine glasses - these all got broken in the dishwasher. Hide
