Cosy, clean property very well equipped in an excellent position for walking (less than 10 minutes) into Matlock town across the park and exploring the surrounding area either by bus or car.We appreciated the bottle of wine and supply of tea, coffee and sugar. Would definitely book again if we come back to the area.

Great location for a couple with dog in a quiet area of Matlock. Convenient park and walking routes from here. Dog friendly. Between two good pubs for food. We have a petrol car and parking in front of cottage was OK, but maybe a big SUV cannot and you need to park around the corner. Comms from owner were good and had no problems checking in and out.

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.

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!
