Home from home accommodation with beautiful views and private garden with hot tub.. Lots of extras provided, wash powder, fabric conditioner, tea/coffee/sugar etc. Only a short walk from the many shops and restaurants. Would definitely book again.

Property was clean, well presented and in a good location.. However our main reason for selecting this property was for the hot tub.
The evening before arrival I received updated check in details advising that the hot tub wouldn’t be available until 6pm on the first day. Although the children were disappointed we decided to explore Matlock and hit the tub when we got back.
Unfortunately at 7.30pm the water was still very cool and so I contacted the owner who advised that Sykes are aware of the issue and we would just need to wait until it heated up but wouldn’t take too long. By 9.30pm there was no improvement but the children braved it for 10mins. Unfortunately we were unable to use it until the following morning when the temperature was warm enough.
We used it several times over the weekend but I found it disappointing that on a 3 night break it was only available for 2 of those nights. Had we known of this beforehand we would have booked an alternate property.

Wow! We have just returned from our weekend stay at Matlock views and it was excellent.. There were 6 adults, 1 child and 3
babies in our party. The property was beautiful and felt very homely. The little extras such as washing up liquid, cooking oils, games, shower gels etc were a lovely touch and we all enjoyed the lovely biscuits that you left for us. The hot tub was the main reason we booked this property, it was very relaxing and we pretty much stayed in there most of the first night. The only thing I would say is it could have done with being a little hotter now the weather has got a bit colder. That said it certainly wouldn't stop us from staying here again and I will certainly be recommending to friends and family. All in all a fab time was had by all, many thanks.

Lovely house, well appointed, clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated.. We had an excellent holiday meeting up with another family with 4 young children between us. We took our own travel cot and high chair as these were not supplied. The children enjoyed lots of space to play and a big bath. The location is excellent for Matlock centre and only 10 mins walk to the train station (a bit longer walking back up the steep hill!) and closer for a very good park, several cafes and bars and the lovely micropub 'the news room' up the hill. We also enjoyed the hot tub!
Only a few minor points which could be improved: we would have liked a cafetiere (although ample supply of instant coffee provided along with tea, a big box of biscuits, some oil, sauces and other bits and bobs of food which were very thoughtfully provided.)
Not an issue in October, but pale vertical blinds in the bedrooms would be insufficient in the summer- on a previous holiday elsewhere with similar our children were awake from 4.30am! Some blackout blinds or curtains would be a valuable addition to this house.
The parking area is badly pot-holed which may not be in the owner's control, but a simple warning to be aware to park very slowly and carefully would be helpful.
These were all minor issues for us however and we would happily stay here again (in the winter months).

It was the first time we have booked through Sykes cottages, the process was very easy, the description of the property along with photographs were spot on.. The arrival instructions were easy to follow and gaining access to the property went smoothly. Would certainly recommend the property and also Sykes cottages to friends and family.

We had a lovely time at Matlock Views.. It was a lovely house and beautifully decorated and clean. It was a brilliant location to explore from too. The one thing I think could be improved was that there was no WiFi available at this property.
There was also advertisement that there was a smart TV available which would have been excellent however with their lack of WiFi this was not a smart TV as the 'smart' functions did not work.
