We had a great 3-night stay with 14 of us. The house's views of Matlock are stunningand the walk into town is quite steep but manageable. Kitchen facilities are well-stockedand the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Very relaxing place overall!

We had a fantastic time at the house with our group of 14! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, super peaceful and quiet. The place was spotlessly finished and just what we needed for a relaxing break. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, especially the Bakewell puddings and fresh bread. The hosts were really friendly and approachable. Definitely a 10/10!

The house was fantastic-spotless and really well-equipped, with some lovely touches all around. The hot tub offered stunning views, which we loved! Definitely recommending it and hoping to come back someday.
