What a lovely gem of a barn conversion. The property is like a TARDIS, much bigger on the inside that it appears from the outside. It is well equipped with everything you (and the dog) need for a comfortable stay. The location is stunning with beautiful views over the valley and villages beyond. It it is only a 25 minute walk into Matlock with lotRead mores of other walks from the property in every direction. In short a lovely break. Hide
