The space Within a 10-minute walk to the centre of Matlock and a 20-minute stroll to Matlock Bath, this charming cottage is arranged over four floors, offering a variety of cosy corners to relax in after a day exploring the local area. It comfortably accommodates four adults, with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an additional very comfortable double sofa bed. The basement kitchen/diner is fully equipped for your stay, and a stable door opens onto a terrace with lovely views of the tree-lined valley and the river below. The living area, with its sofa and chairs around the log burner, is ideal for unwinding with a cuppa or a glass of wine after a day exploring, while the adjoining snug area is perfect for games or TV. Part of the charm of this cottage lies in the narrow, winding stairs leading to the loft and kitchen, which may not be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues.
