I loved the apartment it was exactly what I wanted. Great location, in a peaceful and quiet small town atmosphere, easy access to other sightseeing place without out the crushing around and streets busy like in cities.

Great stay right in the centre of Matlock
Great stay right in the centre of Matlock. The town was very busy as it was Bank Hol but we made full use of the karaoke bar opposite!

A great little apartment
Great little apartment in a perfect central location. It was modern, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable few days in Matlock. Would happily stay again.
Not necessarily improvements, just points for future guests to note – as it’s so centrally located, you can hear some road traffic and noise from a nearby karaoke bar, especially in the evenings. The apartment can also get quite warm, but fans are provided which do help.

We enjoyed our stay at Shaky’s penthouse
We enjoyed our stay at Shaky’s penthouse. It was well equipped and clean with comfortable and easy to use heating and furnishings. The parking took some thought but we managed well. Matlock has a lot to offer and it’s great being right on the spot.

We had a fab time and loved staying at Shaky’s Penthouse! Thank you!
Lovely place to stay! Clean and comfy. Everything we needed. Near to all the shops and food places. Near the park. Could easily live there!
Shame there’s no private parking but not possible where it is. At least there is free parking overnight. Easy to top up the car park during the day.

Place is beautiful and has lots of space.
Very accessible to everywhere-we have made our way to Bakewell and Matlock Bath without difficulty. Check in and check out were very smooth. We love the complementary items specially the tarts and snacks. The place is well equipped in terms of appliances except laundry. I would like to appraise the support staff for being responsive all the time at one point that there was an issue about the water not heating enough but it was resolved right away.

Central Location
Travelling by train to Matlock, it was a pleasant surprise to find the accomodation was only about 7 minutes walk from the station. Buses stop outside and across the road to various places of interest. The penthouse was cosy, well equiped and clean with a comfortable bed.
We (two persons) liked the second bedroom to store
our clothes and cases which gave us more living space.
Arriving in October the town was quieter. Lots of restaurants around and a nice M & S foods a short walk
away. We did have a problem with the shower but a phone call to the agents (Finest Retreats) speedily rectified the problem. All in all a great holiday and if I returned to that area I would have no hesitation in booking this accomodation again.
I don't think I can. Everything was perfect.
