We came to Matlock with the kids and grandkids from Canada, to show them their roots! The house was just perfect. A perfect spot for family and friends to visit, and we were within walking distance of shops, pubs, and a park. Daniel was very quick to answer any questions we had. We had an amazing time, and it was hard to leave!
Excellent accommodation and facilities. Comfortable beds. Central location for local shops. Excellent local restaurants/cafes (breakfasts: Vista restaurant; Kefi cafe; dining: Seafood Cave and Grill.)
Stayed here with a group of friends. Communication prior to arrival was excellent. House was lovely and exactly what we wanted. Lovely big kitchen table for us to sit round and nice garden area to enjoy the spring sunshine. Location is excellent very close to all the amenities of Matlock but also in a quiet location. Fabulous walks available right on the doorstep. Would definitely stay again
We had booked for 10 people last minute (as we'd been let down by another holiday let) but couldn't have asked for a better house. Great location, really warm and welcoming with a good hot tub & games room. Would definitely recommend
Our group of 8 friends had a lovely short break in Matlock, despite the appalling weather! The house was beautiful, warm & comfortable with everything we could need.
We were really impressed with the presentation of the property and the website this house has with all the essential information. Hot tub was a winner too.
Great group property - very clean and all the necessities to be able to arrive and enjoy your stay
Very clean, tidy and with a lot of usual additions like travel cots, highchairs, hot tub towels, pans, plates etc.
We booked the house to celebrate my parent's 60th birthday and there were a range of ages and the house fitted us all perfectly.
Matlock is a lovely little town with lots of great places to eat and drink at.
We loved the house for it's space and location. It's really well equipped with very comfortable beds. Plenty of room for three families with teenagers. The games room and hot tub were thoroughly enjoyed! Huge kitchen to socialise and cook easily in. Cosy lounge for chilling out. Lovely to have dog bed, bowls, treats etc provided. We enjoyed being able to stroll around Matlock. It was perfect, and we hope to return!
The property was in a great location, close to shops, cafe's and restaurants. We were a party of 13 and there was enough space and seating for us all. The beds were comfy. The hot tub was a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks
Fantastic property in a lovely location. Host responded to queries quickly and the house itself was large enough to have our own space, yet Social spaces for family time. Kids (and grandpa!) loved the games room, which helped on the rainy evenings which was well stocked with plenty of board games as well as pool table and fussball. A dart board would finish it off!
Overall, a great property and we would definitely return.
Really lovely accommodation for a large group. Loved the hot tub and games room. Excellent location. Kitchen was great for enabling us all.ro be together and also cater. The upstairs shower in the double room was unusable though as the shower tray wouldn't drain away.
An ideal property for a large group. There was 12 of us and we found there was plenty of room for us without falling over each other :)
Well located for shops food and drink. Well equipped for eating in.
Lovely large house. Good facilities especially the hot tub. Communication with owner was excellent. Central location but in a quiet part of town. Only downside was late check in of 4 pm and early checkout of 10 am.
Highly recommended though
