Cottage in Derbyshire

Holiday Rental Description

A beautiful gem with far reaching country views, this gorgeous cottage is just over a mile from Matlock. Riverside walks through Matlock and Matlock Bath await, with great cafes and restaurants, to enjoy along the way. Matlock has a busy local high street and quirky shops, and a larger array of restaurants meet you on Dale Road which leads into Matlock Bath. The adventurous among you can climb to the heights of High Tor, or take the cable car to the Heights of Abraham and enjoy a cavern tour and ariel view restaurant. The real ale drinkers among you can find a local inn just a mere 0.5 miles away from the cottage, and nearby Smedley Street boasts two real ale pubs, one with a microbrewery. Also on your doorstep is the stunning Chatsworth Estate with house, gardens, farm shop and an array of seasonal events including outdoor concerts, a country fair and the fabulous Christmas markets. The property is set over three floors. Walking down the path at the back of the property, you enter into the ground floor lounge. Beautiful touches like fairy lights, games and books make for a great space to relax and play. There is a lovely ornamental fireplace and lots of information about the local area on the bureau. Walking upstairs you enter a second lounge, beautifully decorated with a wood burner just begging to be lit, while you sink into the comfortable sofa. There is also a large dining table with more than enough space for two. In the kitchen, take time to appreciate the Mandale Limestone above the cooker a beautiful nod back to a time when Matlock was underwater, with visible fossils and stunning details in the stone. Walking upstairs, you are met with a spacious bedroom, featuring a king sized bed, plenty of storage, an ornamental fireplace, and a table and a chair to enjoy the views. There is a family bathroom next to the bedroom, offering two shower heads over a bath, one with a drenching spray. Outside, the views at the rear of the property are incredible.
