Ode to the Hills Hackney, Derbyshire

Holiday Rental Description

For incredible views across countryside hills and fields, it doesn’t much better than this. This stone brick cottage sits beside the idyllic Matlock Hills, just a stone’s throw from the Peak District National Park. It’s a wonderful choice for those looking for a romantic retreat or adventurous getaway, with a happy mix of hiking trails and quaint villages in the area.

Inside, the cottage is the epitome of country chic, with contemporary appliances meeting classic features. The kitchen is the heart of it all – you’ll love preparing breakfasts in this wholesome setting, with the kitchen’s electric fireplace cutting through the early cold. Take your morning coffee out to your courtyard for a refreshing start to the day, or hurry back inside to be hugged by the warmth.

Rich tones add to the luxurious feel, from the distinguished bedrooms to the warm living room – nothing says cosy getaway like sinking into the sofa, warmed up by the log-burning fireplace, with the far-stretching landscape coming into view.

To really make the most of that view, a sundowner or two on the front porch is a must. The west-facing bistro table is the perfect space to catch sunset, followed by nibbles, a few more wines, and stargazing in the back courtyard.

Your cottage’s location of Hackney means you’re in a great position to explore Derbyshire and the Peak District. Take the thirty-minute stroll through the picturesque setting (or a five-minute drive) to reach Matlock, a quintessential English boating village full of arcades, traditional ice cream shops, and chip shops.
