    “The owners were lovely and the accommodation was as described in a great location.”

There was also hair all over the towels, which I suspect maybe cat hair as I’m allergic. I also had to wash the cutlery and glasses again these were not clean.

    However our big issue was cleanliness. On the 1st day I had to clean the bathroom as there were suspect marks. The floor didn’t looks like it had to been swept as there were bits all over the floor and in particular a lot of hair. There was also hair all over the towels, which I suspect maybe cat hair as I’m allergic. I also had to wash the cutlery and glasses again these were not clean. Especially in these times deep clean is needed. As much as the place was nice (other than the cleanliness issue) I don’t think It is worth the price but I do understand in these time all stay cations have increased their prices. I hope the owners do take action from this feedback as it’s a shame as all other aspects are great.

    - Miss Rawlinson, June 2021

About the location

WIRKSWORTH

Matlock 6 miles.

Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of The Peak District. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Independent shops sit alongside the deli, butchers and bakers with a strong local food ethic. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards of the Puzzle Gardens, along with the Heritage Centre and the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is fantastic walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival in May. There is also an annual Arts festival with an amazing Art & Architecture Trail in September, showcasing contemporary art and international performers of every kind. With an art deco independent cinema and a range of places to eat there is plenty to entertain. The town offers a leisure centre with a climbing wall and a small trainer swimming pool, The Eco Centre, The National Stone Centre and the Mount Cook Adventure Centre. The weekly market and monthly farmers' market provide local produce and crafts. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath, with its spectacular cable car, the heritage Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only two miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday.
