Treat that special someone to an unforgettable stay in this impressive market town on the cusp of the Peak District National Park. Matlock was once the go-to place for hydro and spa treatments, but today it is a thriving holiday destination for those who want to reconnect with the great outdoors yet experience a slice of countryside life too. The space Sample delicious local fare at one of the tearooms, step back in time riding a vintage steam train and scale the Heights of Abraham by cable car for jaw-dropping views. Bursting with gothic character and retaining many features from its former life as a church, this marvellous apartment is a quirky retreat for two. Venture along the passageway and through the archway, slipping through the cathedral door and down the steps to reach your abode. Your open-plan living area greets you on arrival with a sofa, ample equipment for rustling up dinners and a handy table and chairs for meals a deux. There’s a comfortable bedroom with a king-size bed, and completing the property is a shower room. Outside, you’ll find a table and chairs ideal for morning coffee in the shared alleyway. Wander down the steep hill into the bustling centre of Matlock, picking up a few treats from the market and browsing the array of shops and eateries. Time your visit with the Matlock Bath Illuminations and experience a visual feast of fireworks and fun, taking in the sights of the parade of boats along the River Derwent. By day, the river offers beautiful waterside walks with several picnic spots on the way. Further afield, Bakewell (8.5 miles away) is a must-see with its quintessential cobbled streets and pretty tearooms serving generous slabs of the famous pudding.
