Description

Woodpecker Cottage is a super cottage hidden away on a quiet little lane on the outskirts of Matlock. Newly created, it provides really classy accommodation with its superb lounge with log burning stove, ultra-modern dining and kitchen areas, luxurious bedrooms with White Company linen and French doors out onto the two patios. Wander along the lane and you are immediately in lovely countryside. Wander down into Matlock to find lots of local shops, restaurants and many a pub to quench your thirst. Or just laze on the patios and listen to the birds.

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. There are lots of little shops to explore as well as two good supermarkets. 

There are also lots of holiday attractions nearby. Matlock Bath with its Heights of Abraham cable cars and Little Switzerland gorge is just down the valley. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and the beautiful Peak District are not much further.

Reviews

Cannot fault anything about the cottage. So many extras provided by the cottage owners which made us feel so welcome. An ideal base for a relaxing holiday in the Peak District.

Mrs W,

Location was easy to get to and access. The layout of the cottage is nice, with the bedrooms being downstairs, it was nice and cool. Marilyn and Alan provide everything you’d need for a full visit

Mr S,

A warm welcom at arrival. Beautiful cottage in nature. But in the centre off all the Lovely villages and markets. Great stay!!!

Mrs De G,

Woodpecker cottage is a lovely bright and spacious well equipped house tucked away up a country lane, but in no way isolated. We felt very welcome on entering finding the table laid for afternoon tea with a delicious home baked victoria sponge waiting for us. The owner, who lives next door, had supplied just about everything one could wish for with a fantastic, generous welcome pack. A great find and a real gem.

Mr J,

A wonderful stay away from home. Beautiful sites and a comfy stay in a clean and charming cottage. And what wonderful hosts as well :) Very kind and generous and available for if we ever needed help with anything. Would definitely recommend.

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.
