Description
Matlock 3.2 miles.
This stone-built semi-detached cottage is situated on the peaceful Darwin Lake Holiday Village, three miles from the popular Peak District town of Matlock.
Surrounded by 10-acres of woodland where guests are free to explore the footpaths, this is a first-class holiday home for couples, friends and families.
Located a short distance from the lake, you enter the property into a small hallway.
The open plan living area is spacious and light and has been beautifully-appointed throughout.
The kitchen area has been furnished with high-quality amenities including a Smeg oven and hob, where delicious meals can be prepared and enjoyed around the dining table.
The ground floor also has the first of the bedrooms, a well-appointed twin room which has the advantage of zip/link beds so that it can be made into a super king-size double on request.
This bedroom also has an en-suite wet room and may be ideal for members of the family who find stairs difficult.
The stairs lead up to two further super king-size double bedrooms, both of which have the flexibility of zip/link beds.
These spacious bedrooms both have en-suites with the master having a TV as well as a bath.
With all the rooms having their own private facilities therell be no queuing in the mornings!
To the outside is a patio area for dining alfresco and guests can enjoy the shared open lawned areas surrounding the cottages and lake.
The grounds offer plenty of opportunities for walking and wildlife spotting and an easy drive away is the whole of the Peak District National Park with its many quaint villages and walks for all abilities.
Matlock, Matlock Bath and Bakewell are within easy reach, and a visit to Chatswoth House and Haddon Hall are well worth a visit.
Why not have a cable car ride to the Heights of Abraham or enjoy a family day out at Gulliver's Kingdom?
You'll be spoilt for choice from this well-located cottage.

What guests are saying
Great house, spotlessly clean and tidy, nice touches with starter amount of tea, coffee, sugar and milk as we had to wait an hour for our grocery delivery.
Also downstairs bedroom with ensuite perfect for my elderly parents.
Considering covid 19 the house was not very well cleaned.
There was waste medication and plasters and rubbish left in a bedroom drawer. There were various problems with the house ie no plug in sink or bath, bathroom shelf loose, dent in wall behind sofa, shelf missing in another bathroom, front door does not shut without locking it fully, Generally the accommodation needs some TLC as it is feeling worn and in need of various replacements like mattresses, main sofa all of which are uncomfortable and worn. Location is very good as ideal for the Peaks.
Have had no problem with Sykes but unfortunately had to make this report below Disappointing start to our holiday at Darwin Lakes (Wensley Cottage) (booked through Sykes Cottages ) On arrival we found the property had not been cleaned i.
e. dirty toilets, shower rooms and floors, moudly shower head, hob and cooker hood covered in grease. Floors in lounge/kitchen/dining area not hoovered or washed, not good with a crawling baby around. On going to reception to report findings, the young lady in reception was very helpful and came over with a cleaner and agreed it had not been cleaned at all, we both took photos. She told me to go and report this to the Manager (apparently no Manager available) but message left that he would contact us in the week. (This did not happen). We were assured these properties would be deep cleaned between guests bearing in mind Covid times, which to us was important as we had baby and 2 vulnerable adults in party. On departing we left another message for the Manager but still to this day have heard nothing. Such a shame because the actual properties and setting was perfect for a holiday break.
