Hot Tub, Swimming Pool & Hay Loft in Peak District

KarenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great 2 day stay, were made very welcome and everything explained perfectly. The kids really enjoyed the pool, however, the hot tub location is around a very windy corner and away from the house, so we didn't use it. The location is definitely a place to totally relax and unwind with lots of space to enjoy just being together with family or friends. The kitchen facilities were fantastic, everything you could ever need! Even a lovely home made cake for our arrival. Host was readily available to answer any questions and advice regarding places to visit. Clean towels and pool towels were provided beds and linen were of good quality and very comfortable. We will definitely consider another visit.

Luxury newly converted oak cottage

ConnieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great stay at Sam’s place for a friends holiday, the cottage was spacious for 8 of us plus one infant with plenty of parking available. The surroundings are beautiful and there were some lovely walks directly from the cottage. Sam was really responsive to any questions we had. We also organised a grocery food delivery for our arrival which worked really well so would recommend to others too! The hot tub was excellent and the cottage felt very private considering the buildings around it. Would highly recommend so thank you! ☺️

Woodcock Farm - Luxury self-catering cottages

CaitlinRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Really lovely property, nicely decorated and in a great location. The only downside is how noisy the road is, made it quite difficult to get a peaceful night's sleep. Earplugs were provided but didn't help too much.

Self-Catering, Log Burner, Cosy, Peak District

NigelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We really enjoyed our stay here in Holymoorside. It really is a lovely, peaceful place and we had absolutely everything we needed. Everything was clean and tidy. The owners were very friendly and helpful. This is a great place for walks and this is one of our favourite things to do. This is a top quality place to stay and one of the best AirBnbs we have stayed in. Highly recommended.

The barn

ChloeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We only stayed one night at the barn but my gosh did Joy pull out all the stops! Joy was extremely helpful in supporting us find the barn and get back on our travels, as there was a road closure nearby and truly made us feel at home. The barn is absolutely beautiful and spacious, inside and out. We especially enjoyed meeting the lovely ponies that are on the property. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone and cannot thank Joy enough for our stay! We look forward to returning, hopefully for a longer period of time! :)

Your guide to Matlock

Welcome to Matlock

Antiques shops and welcoming pubs snuggle into the rugged scenery of the Derbyshire Dales in this winsome market town on the southeast edge of the Peak District National Park. With its varied shopping, quirky cafes, and riverside walks along the Derwent, there’s plenty to keep you busy in town. But Matlock is also a brilliant stepping-off point for outdoor adventures. The Derwent Valley divides the Peak District here between the White Peak limestone plateau on the southeast side and the wilder Dark Peak uplands of gritstone and moorlands on the other.

Local museums reveal the area’s industrial history as an important centre of textile manufacturing, hard to forget when overlooking the town is Riber Castle, folly of the famous industrialist John Smedley. Practically adjoining Matlock, a mile south, is the more tourism-focused Matlock Bath. With its racks of postcards, gift shops, and ice cream, it surely belongs at the seaside, yet here it is, clinging to the Derbyshire steeps. As a hip spa town in the 19th century, it was compared to Switzerland. That’s a bit of a stretch, but there is a cable car at the nearby Heights of Abraham attraction, which supplies eye-popping views.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Matlock

There are reasons to come to Matlock at any point in the calendar. Spring is gorgeous for walking and cycling, summer is heaven, and the Peak District is particularly fetching when upholstered in snow. The craggy surroundings can be somewhat austere in winter, but this town is all heart, and its residents know how to spice things up in the cold. Matlock Bath Illuminations, in September and October, is a spectacular event when themed model structures covered with tiny lights are paraded on rowing boats on the Derwent Gardens lake. Chatsworth House, one of the United Kingdom’s most incredible stately homes, hosts a Christmas fair in November, as well as a country fair in September and outdoor theatre in summer. Another stately home, Haddon Hall, hosts events and markets too.


Top things to do in Matlock

Industrial mill museums

To understand Derbyshire’s history and the part it played in the Industrial Revolution, make a trip to the UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, where several former mills were the birthplace of the world’s first factory system. These riverside buildings were erected for the sole purpose of spinning cotton. You’ll see Arkwright’s Cromford Mills, the world’s first water-powered cotton-spinning mill; Belper, the world’s first cotton mill town; and the new Museum of Making at the Derby Silk Mill.

White Peak Loop

Amid the beautiful limestone landscapes of the White Peak, this trail welcomes hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders. It runs north towards Bakewell where, after a gap, you can join another path, the 8.5-mile Monsal Trail, which leads all the way to Buxton.

Lumsdale Valley waterfalls

A short walk directly from Matlock leads across private land into a magical wooded gorge in the Lumsdale Valley, following the Bentley Brook to a series of waterfalls, overgrown ruins of mills, and mill ponds.
