When we arrived the cleaner was still there but we knew she would be because we were early. Once in the cottage seemed really small and low especially all the doorways and in the bedroom the lights hang down low I’m 6’4 and banged my head numerous times my wife is 5’4 and had no problem. A good suggestion in the bedroom would be to put flush ceiling lights in rather than hanging pendants. The car park is really tight and when we came out one morning someone had scraped my car as we were in the big car park just up the road, if you have got a really small car then parking is not a problem. Also after we had cooked breakfast we went to wash the dishes but there was no washing up liquid or no spare bin bags for the bins.the outdoor space is so small and overgrown and didn’t get any sun even on a really sunny day. Steve the host was great and responded really quickly if needed. Overall a nice cottage fit for a hobbit and in a great location

Blue Sky Cottage, Matlock

We had a wonderful week staying in this great one bed cottage. It is well equipped and is really comfortable. It’s location was perfect for walks along the river or through the park. Matlock is a gorgeous little town with lots of excellent places to enjoy food and refreshments and is exceptionally dog friendly.

Very nice stay in Matlock

The house was very cosy and in great condition. The location is great and its so handy to have parking. If you have a big car it may be a little tight. I have a Volvo V90 which fitted but only just.

Two great weeks in Matlock

Thanks for the lovely 1 bedroom flat near the main park in Matlock. It was super clean and the host kept in touch when we had questions. The parking space was too small for our rentalSUV but we managed to find street parking each night. We would definitely come back.

Matlock is a good location for exploring Derbyshire and the Peak District.

The house was comfortable and ideal for a short stay. It proved a good jumping off point for local exploration. A parking place was an added bonus. A lavatory seat that stayed open would have been preferred and more convenient.

Hi Adrian, glad you enjoyed your stay, agreed on the toilet seat, we are trying to find a new seat, the particular one we need is rare as hens teeth at the moment, we have one on order, who would have thought Covid would affect toilet seats!

Exactly as advertised

Good central location for Matlock (not up a hill). Park very close for dog walking. Very comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Car parking a bit tight as mentioned but ok for a average car - the drive in is easy, backing out slow but no real problem. Very nice stay esp. the easy short walk to all central pubs and shops, after a day walking in the surrounding hills.
