Description
Wayside Cottage is one of a pair of cottages created from a mellow stone barn, adjacent to the farmhouses on the yard of a small arable and stock farm on the edge of Matlock Moor, close to Matlock golf course and just a short drive to the country town of Matlock. It provides really comfortable holiday accommodation with a wood burning stove as the focal point of the cosy living room, a well-equipped kitchen and two comfortable bedrooms: a cosy little holiday retreat!
Matlock has a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants, supermarket and a traditional park. Matlock Bath with its ‘little Switzerland’ gorge and cable cars has many attractions for all the family. Chatsworth House with its gardens and adventure playground is incredible. The views from Froggatt Edge send a shiver down any spine. Feed the ducks in Bakewell or visit Peak Rail's steam trains. Carsington Water has water sports and of course there is Alton Towers!

Location
MATLOCK
Matlock used to be a thriving tourist destination in 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 being the ideal place from which to explore all 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.
