About the host
Hosted by Andrew Bates
Nicola & I passionately enjoy preparing Highfield with our team to welcome guests, endeavouring to provide the perfect clean and safe home from home relaxing retreat in a property that I am sure you will love - as we do!...
Why they chose this property
Built in 1867, we are the only the fifth owners of this magnificent house. The property has been used as a Furnished Holiday Let successfully since April 2012, and fully and extensively renovated and refurbished in July 2020, hosting hundreds of extremely happy guests/friends (including Heston Blumenthal) but still enjoy returning to Highfield for special family celebrations...
What makes this property unique
Highfield has the most amazing views over the Derwent Valley and the town of Matlock, each day brings something new and we have never tired of the changing seasons...and with the removal of a number of tress and hedges and the additional of a 90 sqmt decked area we've really opened up the view to showcase the area at its best!
