Description

Field Barn is a real gem of a cottage - a fantastic find! Created out of a detached mellow stone barn it provides really classy accommodation with its superb lounge, ultra modern kitchen, luxurious bedrooms and 'state of the art' bathrooms. Set on the very edge of Matlock it overlooks the playing fields and backs onto open countryside stretching up to the woods on Matlock Moor.

Matlock is a lovely town nestling in a cauldron of hills with jumbles of cottages cascading down the hillsides and the river Derwent splashing down the valley. Hall Leys Park and the Arc leisure centre are super. Lots of little shops are there to explore as well as two supermarkets.

There are also lots of holiday attractions nearby. Matlock Bath with its cable cars and little Switzerland gorge is just down the valley. Peak Rail's trains steam up towards the Peaks. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are not much further and places like Carsington Water and the National Tramway Museum are in the surrounding hills.   

DOWNSTAIRS:

An open-plan oak floored lounge, dining and kitchen area with French doors to the patio.

The lounge has quality leather sofas, electric coal effect stove, Smart TV  and WiFi. 

The dining area has a quality oak table and leather chairs.

The kitchen has superb oak topped units, hob, oven, microwave, fridge (with small freezer compartment in the top) and dishwasher. There is a washing machine in a separate utility area.

A twin bedroom with twin beds (which can be pushed together and made up as super king size bed on request), TV and en suite shower room with WC.

UPSTAIRS:

The pine staircase with tread lights leads to a lovely vaulted bedroom with king size bed, TV and views across the fields.

An adjoining 'state of the art' bathroom with bath with waterfall taps, separate shower cubicle, basin and WC.

Reviews

Lovely comfy well located cottage, really the only negative I have to say is there there is almost nowhere to store food, maybe some of the extra mixing/serving bowls could be located in the utility area as they are not an everyday use, and maybe too many cups and plates, at least 12 mugs and cups and 12 different wine glasses, its only a 4 bed accommodation, or maybe thats just us, but once the fridge was full no space for any of the dry food. We had a small issues and it was sorted promptly by the owner.

Mrs B,

We had a really nice stay in the Barn. It was a perfect location for walks and sightseeing in the Peaks. The accommodation was very clean and warm and the beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Mr D,

Very lovely, well equipped cosy cottage.

Mrs K,

Field barn is a cosy and extremely quietly situated cottage high above the small town of Matlock. Perfect for 2 to 4, expect a well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a sitting room that is comfortable and snug. No traffic noise, you can sleep with an open window. In the summer, you have plenty of space outside, and all year round you can start on short walks straight from the cottage. Going into town on foot is a bit of an expedition (very steep to come back up from the town), so if you’re looking for fitness, this can be easily obtained. Overall, we were very happy with the cottage, the equipment and furnishings and the host’s service. We did find the bed in the top bedroom a bit on the hard side, with the springs noticeable, despite a soft topper, but of course this is subjective.

Mr H,

Field Barn was lovely with everything you could need.

Mr Kevin D,

We had a lovely holiday in a warm, cosy cottage. The only reason for the 4 under equipment was that two bed side lights weren't working and we struggled with the heating system as the instructions in the book did not match what was actually there. None of this prevented us from having a good break and the owners were very helpful.

Ms Phyllis O,

Yet another pleasant stay. Pity you can’t do something about the bad weather.

Ms Jude T,

Field Barn is a lovely property, very comfortable and well equipped. Warm and welcoming with amazing panoramic views. The only downside for us was it was a drive into Matlock Town Centre and the walk back up would have easily taken an hour. If you don't mind driving it is an ideal place to stay, apart from that cannot fault Field Barn.

Ms Phyllis O,

The cottage was lovely, and everything we wished for.

Mrs Sue O,

Nicely equipped barn. Cosy & comfortable. It felt like you were in the country but you weren't. Very close to the shops & places to visit.

Mrs Trudy N,

Everything was perfect regarding the property. Equipment, cleanliness and layout all ideal for what I wanted. Mrs Brown came out to explain certain things when we arrived and was a very lovely host.. The Shetland pony and sheep were an added bonus for my friend who didnt want to leave them

Previous Customer,

The cottage is spacious, well equipped and tastefully restored. Even though it was cold and frosty the cottage was always warm. It is on the edge of playing fields which was ideal for our dog and there were walks from the cottage. It was on the edge of Matlock and involved quite a walk to the centre, which could present problems for someone with mobility issues, but it is centrally located for the Peak District as a whole. At the moment there are road works in the centre of Matlock and the directions given don't work! I don't know how long the roadworks will take, but it might be worth modifying the directions for the time being. We enjoyed ourselves and would love to return when we could enjoy the garden.

Mrs Kathryn F,

No central heating for first 3 days. No drying facilities. Shower door in en suite needed adjustment. Light bulb out in lounge. Alarm kept going off for no reason. Insufficient kitchen storage. However a very comfortable cottage in a superb location, with lovely walks on doorstep

Mrs Zoe L,

Location

MATLOCK

Matlock is a historic thriving tourist destination dating back to Victorian times when the railway reached the town and visitors used to come to take the ‘mild water cure’ in the many spa hotels. It still is very much on the tourist map today, being the ideal place from which to explore the many local attractions but also a place that really ‘lives’, with independent shops, a couple of supermarkets and Dale Road with its numerous pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Set in a cauldron of hills, there are lots of days out to be had close by. Matlock Bath has got to be on your list. A 2-penny ride on a tram at the National Tramway Museum will take you back in time. Peak Rail’s trains steam up the valley to give you another taste of the past. And then of course you can explore Sir Richard Arkwright’s Industrial Revolution village at the head of the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor.

Matlock is in the centre of everything, even when you look to the east towards Chesterfield, because this opens up another vista of attractions. Chesterfield itself with its colourful market square is worth a visit. Hardwick Hall, of Bess of Hardwick fame, is not much further. How about storming Bolsover Castle’s battlements or being one of the ‘Merry Men’ in Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest.

Local pubs - The Thorn Tree, Twenty Ten Bar and the White Lion in Starkholmes.
