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.

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.

Christmas 2023

Absolutely beautiful cottage and perfect location for me - not isolated and lots to do on the doorstep- perfect for me wanting to be out in the hills.Christmas tree was a nice touch but would have been better with fairy lights. Very highly recommended. Only negative is that my car would not fit in the designated space.

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.
