The Old Apothecary is a stunning, Grade II listed duplex apartment set over the first and second floor of a property that was traditionally a Victorian apothecary, nestled into the village of Matlock Bath, near Matlock.

With delightful interiors and attractions only a short distance away, this property is ideal for an older family, couples, and friends looking to explore the stunning scenery of Derbyshire.

Park in one of the local car parks and make your way over to this charming abode, discovering a beautiful kitchen/diner with plenty of space for guests to cook together using the home-from-home amenities provided, before indulging in a hearty meal at the dining table.

Both with original windows, cast iron fireplaces and eye-catching blue walls, this historic abode provides guests with a sitting room with a TV and a snug for those lazy evenings in.

Beautifully presented and also boasting cast iron fireplaces and character features, three bedrooms await your rest, giving you the choice of two king-size bedrooms, and a twin.

These delightful rooms are serviced by a bathroom with roll-top bath, a shower room, and a cloakroom.

When the sun is shining, head out into the rear enclosed garden, choosing either the decking or the patio for your alfresco affair, as you toast to your getaway over a glass of fizz.

Matlock Bath is a charming riverside location offering independent stores to browse at your leisure, as well as a great selection of cafés, restaurants, and pubs.

Options include The Seafood Cave & Grill, The Balti Restaurant, and The Old Bank.

Many attractions are close by, so why not visit the Matlock Bath Aquarium and Arcade, spend a day at Gulliver's Kingdom, walk up to the The Great Masson Cavern, or check out the scenic views at the Heights of Abraham.

Matlock offers more eateries, as well as convenience stores for all of your essentials, whilst scenic walks, mountain biking, and birdwatching can be enjoyed in the Peak District National Park.

Here there are many places to visit including the quaint village of Bakewell, Chatsworth House, and Haddon Hall, and walks include those at The Roaches, Thor's Cave, Three Shires Head, and Kinder Scout.

Lovely spacious property, photos don’t do it all justice, especially the backyard which was a lovely place to sit on a sunny afternoon.

Lights in Kitchen/Dining area were a little dim and another sidelight would have been good in the lounge. Was either very bright, or quite dark. Bathrooms were big and it was ideal having the 2/3 available to use.

The Old Apothecary – Matlock Bath.

We first discovered Matlock Bath in the summer and loved it so much we booked a return trip for a September weekend to go to the Illuminations with my partner’s teenage son. The Old Apothecary turned out to be the perfect base — brilliant location, easy parking thanks to the owners’ clear Station car park/rover pass instructions, and a lovely welcome pack with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits waiting for us. Much appreciated after the drive. The apartment itself is a gem: two huge king‑size bedrooms plus a twin, all spotless, spacious and super comfortable with quality linens and towels. Two bathrooms and three toilets meant everyone had their own space — ideal when travelling with a teen. Everything was clean, well thought‑out, and communication and key collection were smooth and simple. We packed plenty in: riverside drinks at The Midland, amazing pizzas at The Fishpond, a train ride to Matlock, and of course the Illuminations on the river Derwent, which were magical. Highly recommend The Old Apothecary — we’ve completely fallen for Matlock Bath and will definitely be back. Sian & Paul

We love the old apothecary shop, this was our 3rd stay here .

we never get tired of staying here, it’s a real home from home . Fully equipped with everything you need and the property is so spacious that even with the whole family there , you dont get under each others feet . The welcome gifts of tea, coffee , sugar , milk , biscuits and treats from the shop is fantastic . My daughter loves the shop downstairs and always makes a few purchases while we are here . The staff in the shop are also lovely , friendly and very helpful . Can’t wait to return .
