Arlington House

Beautiful house .

Very clean , Beds and linen spotless. Lovely bathrooms . Had lots of fun in the games room . Kitchen had everything we needed . Lovely wine on arrival which was a lovely touch . Very near shops , pubs etc. Decorated to a high standard . Enjoyed sitting jn the garden . Only issue was the wooden benches that tipped over when we sat on it , resulting in food , glasses etc landing on the ground ,it needs attention. On the whole we had a fab family holiday and hope to return one day . Thank you Sykes and the owners who were quick to reply to our queries

Extremely well equipped and we found all we required.

On street parking easy to find. In entrance area 2 light bulbs need replacing. We enjoyed our holiday and exploring Derbyshire.

Had a lovely stay at Arlington House as a group of 6 over 65 ladies .

Location of the house is perfect with bars, restaurants , cafes and shops within easy walking distance. The house was very clean and has great facilities although the absence of any hairdryer was a surprise to us,, fortunately one of the ladies brought a travel hairdryer and saved the day. The property allows easy access to rail and bus services to explore the Derbyshire Dales and Peak Diistrict would highly recommend this property for all size groups of any age.

What a fabulous property for a crowd.

Loads of room for everyone and exceptionally well equipped. Fantastic central location, we marvelled at how we all (11 of us staying and 13 in total at dinner time) fit very comfortably around the table. Superb and very much recommended.

Lovely big house and very well situated.

Kitchen mainly well equipped. Great having two communal spaces as children could be hived off safely downstairs! Bedrooms and bathrooms great except several of the mattresses need replacing. We could not get the sauna to work there were several sensible proposals in the guest book, but none appear to have been implemented Lighting in main living room needs some more ambience: a couple of standard lamps or side lamps would help. No soap dishes in showers Little things like that would make it perfect.

Lovely property in a good location

great house, comfortable, clean and well presented.

Good central location. Appreciated by us all.

So good we've booked again

The house was excellent for our big family gathering, offering a comfortable, setting where all guests could enjoy time together.

The games room was particularly enjoyed by our four grandchildren. The kitchen and bathing facilities were good. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet the house was at night; no disturbance of sleep. My son is planning to book this house again for a weekend break with friends.

This is the third year in a row that we have been to Arlington House and we are hoping to go again next year!

The accommodation is perfect for our large family and the house is so well equipped. The grandchildren love the downstairs play area and the table tennis was a welcome addition which the adults really enjoyed too. The location is also ideal being a short walk from a very well equipped park and close to good shops, cafes and restaurants. There is plenty of parking nearby and lots of lovely places to visit in the vicinity.

Accommodation was spotless and how lovely to be left 2 bottles of wine, plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits!

With each bedroom having its own bathroom it’s just perfect. The pool cues could do with updating but other than that no complaints at all.

Amazing property.

Fantastic Recreation room with TV, plenty of seating and much appreciated pool table. Just sorry the fuse ball table was not available. Sauna an extra treat. (Bring pound coins if you're going to give it a try) The living area open plan and very pleasant. Bedrooms well fitted out. Only a few minutes to any shop you could possibly want. I would certainly recommend Arlington House.

Lovely big property.

Everything we needed for a large family weekend away.

10/10 accommodation.

What a fantastic house for a trip away with friends. The chill out/ game room downstairs is perfect and the sauna is a great addition. All rooms were lovely. Comfy beds. Superb location. Clean. And maybe it was a 3 minute walk into town? So good. Thanks

Arlington House was a perfect choice for a family gathering.

The position was central but quiet, and it was easy to access both the town and the beautiful area. The house was thoughtfully planned, generously equipped and spotlessly clean; the games room was a great asset, and the outside terraces a lovely extension of the living areas. We could only park two cars at the house - one on the forecourt and one on the street - but found plenty of space nearby so it was no problem. We have stayed in plenty of houses for our annual time together, and agreed that this one was the nicest yet - we hope to return!

The house is great with lots of room.

The lower basement is a little dark and the children weren’t happy to sleep there as it was a bit cold. Although the thermostat was in the basement, if that was warm then the rest of the house was too hot. Perhaps a portable heater might be useful? Microwave was very slow might need upgrading? Otherwise everything was brilliant and 14 of us were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and all linen provided.

A great house that easily accommodated my family of 16,celebrating my wife's 70th birthday.

We were 10 adults, 3 children and one infant. Facilities were excellent and everything was clean and tidy on arrival. A great location for Matlock and handy for getting out to other places. Only issue is messing about with parking, with 4 cars to sort out but minor inconvenience compared to the fun we had.

Absolutely lovely house - big enough for our large group, but with lots of comfy communal spaces.

The pool table was a huge hit! Great location, a short walk from all Matlock's amenities, and a short drive from some gorgeous walks. We'd love to come back.

Just back from a fantastic stay with a large group of friends.

The house is beautiful and most of the rooms are ensuite. The kitchen is large and v well equipped (just what you need for catering for a big group of people). There are lots of great social areas on the ground and lower ground floor (to call it a basement would be an injustice!!). The lower ground floor would suit kids and big kids alike. There's a pool table and great tv viewing area. Also a little kitchenette to prepare snacks or make drinks. I would not hesitate to come back here and I got a lot of credit for booking. The only suggestion I can make (and it's tiny) is to get a WiFi booster for the lower ground floor. We struggled to get a WiFi signal for the firestick to watch sports downstairs on tv. We hot spotted off a mobile phone as a work around.

It was the perfect accommodation for 15 of us to have a weekend away in celebration of a 30th birthday - the property definitely far exceeds the pictures!

The bedrooms were spacious and all came with their own en suite bathroom, which we hadn't expected. The communal areas are also really spacious and nicely decorated - the additional basement space was decked out with a pool table, sofas and additional fridges, and made for the perfect party space. The location is ideal, near local shops and nice cafes and bars. Our only slight issue was that ar first the WiFi and hot water didn't work, but the hosts were super attentive and kindly came round to sort it as soon as they could. Overall a fantastic stay

Fantastic property in a great location.

Photos don't do it justice. Couple of minor issues when we arrived but we contacted the owner and she sorted them straight away.

Disappointing that received no response to a complaint that there was limited hot water, just to 2 of the properties bath/showers in fact.

Similarly, heating was not to all of the house. Did not pick up on this earlier in the week as it was only on the Friday and Saturday nights that most of the bedrooms were in use

Lovely property, great location, owner extremely belpful

A comfortable, warm and spacious house in a lovely location.

Lots of bedrooms, all with WCs and plenty of bathrooms and good kitchen facilities. Our large group of friends had a great long weekend and hope to return.

Lovely place, very warm, clean and welcoming.

Plenty of room for the 14 of us, and very conveniently located near to lots of great independent shops, safes, bars and things to do.

Time for new beds n clean up out side

Really enjoyed the property.

We managed to get most of the cars parked outside the property which was great, alternative parking was quite close. Just to confirm all bedrooms had a toilet and sinks but not all had showers, however there was a bathroom on each floor. Very well equipped and comfortable for 13 people to stay. Really worked well for a group booking.

It's a nice place to stay.

We enjoyed our holidays.

We had an amazing stay here.

The house was a great size for our big family, the bathrooms in l bedrooms were really handy and the house has everything you need. We were slightly worried about parking but it wasn't an issue. You can fit two cars at the house and then we parked the others a few roads away.

Fantastic centrally located property.

Easy to find and local amenities incredibly accessible. Plenty of room for 14 of us to spread out without feeling too distant from one another. Bedrooms were comfortable and clean, and en suites were an added bonus. We found the drive and white line were enough parking for 3 relatively large cars, and the others found a very reasonable car park a short walk away. We were surprised to find street parking is only available for an hour so this is maybe unclear in the listing. A few things could do with some maintenance such as ground WC door, some wobbly dining chairs, and the pool table but overall an incredibly pleasant stay! Some extra large saucepans would be helpful as we found cooking for a large group difficult with the ones provided. We all said we would happily stay at Arlington again! Thank you

We wrote a comprehensive report in the Visitors' book but weren't 100% sure all comments have been read by owners as some of our points had already been raised but clearly not addressed.

Overall everything was very positive, very clean and great facilities but there were some not so good points eg edges on the Pool table (ie there were none although we weren't overly bothered by this) and the absence of the publicised Hot Tub which did matter to us. Smaller issues would be addition of full length mirrors in rooms and shower caddies. It would have been helpful to have recommendations for eating out etc. But, as I said, we were generally very pleased with the whole place.

We had a fabulous stay with you.

The house was great, location amazing for walking into town.. It was clean and comfortable. Loved the items left for us to use. Will definitely visit again. Just a couple of issues which will help the visitors experience, The main front door, the handle/ knob is loose and comes away in your hand. Bedroom 4's door does not close. One bathroom with bath and shower could do with a slip mat, You mention in your folder residents parking permits were by the front door, but we never saw anything. None of these spoilt our stay. Just little feedbacks. Thank you

We had a wonderful time house is perfect great location.

Owners so helpful too

Great house and location, very clean and plenty of utensils etc.

Had a fantastic family stay.

Great house for a large group, very comfortable and well equipped and ideal location in Matlock.

We really enjoyed our time together at Arlington House .

Plenty of room for 15 of us . The children Loved the games room and sauna . Kitchen had everything we needed for preparing family meals Around the large dining table . We had everything we needed . Parking available near by Such a lovely area to explore . Thankyou

We had a great time at Arlington house and suited our need perfectly.

They layout worked really well as reach family could have their own floor and it could be shut off. Have a place with so much room made having everyone together so much easier. The property is well stocked and had everything we needed – except maybe a hairdryer!

This was a property where the photos did not do justice to the amount of space we had across the four floors.

With a mix of adults and children (four families) we loved the two separate socialising spaces and how little sound travelled around the house too. I was so impressed with the contact we had beforehand to ensure the beds were made up correctly for our group. We loved the fact that we could walk to coffee shops, shops, Matlock Bath etc. etc. It gave the flexibility for the older teens to head off and be independent when they wanted to. We got one car on the front paved area, then one on the white line blocking the house drive. We found close on street parking quite easily for the other two cars. I like a firm mattress and found our double mattress was a little tired and soft. That may just be personal preference though! (No one else in the party commented on their beds so I guess they were fine.) Thank you for providing a great 'home' for our family Christmas.

The house was brilliant and perfect for our needs.

There were 8 of us mums and to have a toilet in every room was great. The dining room was a lovely place to congregate over food and the cellar was brilliant with the pool table and tv. The kitchen had everything in it that we needed to cook a massive Christmas dinner! We had a fantastic time and Danielle was really friendly and super responsive when we needed her. The heating didn't work in the top floors the first night but Danielle immediately came and sorted this out as soon as we contacted her, bought a part and fixed it the same day, we couldn't have asked for more. The location was great, a 2 min walk into Matlock but so quiet at night. The spa was a lovely treat too! We will definitely be back again!

Lovely property in a good location

Absolutely fantastic stay at Arlington house, catered for our large party.

Facilities are excellent and the games room a massive hit all round. All en suite shower rooms were a bonus . We will be booking again at this venue.

An excellent base for a walking group, with all bedrooms both large and en-suite and very efficient heating.

The basement lounge and games room proved invaluable when we returned with sodden clothing! The underfloor heating was a boon.

Beautiful house, spotlessly clean, fully equipped for all our needs.

Nearby long stay parking was helpful. Perfectly situated for shops, bars and restaurants would highly recommend fort a large party booking. Thank you

Fabulous property.

Well kitted out for either large groups of adults or would be good for a few families as well. Great location for Matlock town centre and also if you're heading out for a walk. Highly recommend!

Fabulous house for large groups.

Well equipped with everything you could need. Lots of comfy beds with abundance of bathrooms. Some of the furniture a bit tired (sofas a bit lumpy) Games room an absolute bonus. We didn’t use the sauna but outside space was lovely. We did find the house very warm, despite there being no heating on, but lots of windows and patio doors to open. Great position for exploring Matlock. Parking a bit tight, we managed to accommodate 3 cars and found additional on neighbouring streets. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent location and facilities.

We were a group of walkers, mainly single, and all appreciated having their own room and (almost entirely) en suites. We had problems getting hot water on the top floor, so the two of us up there used the (very good) shower in the basement. Had a communal meal in, and enjoyed meals at the Italian (Viva), the Indian (Maazi), The Remarkable Hare and super pub The Duke William. Lots of historical interest in the area as well as the great walking/scenery. Very useful having the trains and buses also. The parking was not as easy as made out: you can get one car on the slabs in front of the house, but it's difficult to get two cars within the white line in front of that - and of course the car on the slabs is then blocked in. We almost were fined by a parking guy as one car overlapped the white line, and he said that anyway the while line was 'discretionary'. Parking spaces in the street were for one hour only, and the streets nearby where you could park longer were generally full. Despite this, a really excellent stay.

Really fantastic property, we were absolutely blown away by the size, quality of rooms, comfort of beds, games provided etc etc.

We cannot wait to visit again next year. The only slight bit of feedback was that quite a few of the guests commented on the pillows being lumpy, which I would agree with. But other than that there was not a single complaint

Absolutely fabulous!

Every bedroom had a toilet room and most were full en suite. Every room immaculate, clean and well equipped. The kitchen was really well stocked. Nice games room and outside area. 5mins walk to Matlock town. We all had a fabulous weekend catching up and would certainly book again so thank you very much for all you provide

We stayed here for my mom's 80th Birthday.

We were a party of 15 aged from 3 months to 90 years old. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. It was superbly clean and well stocked in the kitchen. Lots of fun was had in family/games room. The location was excellent, right in the heart of everything and even though we had 6 cars as we came from far and wide, we had no issues finding somewhere close by to park. We would highly recommend. Karen & Family

Accommodation was in excellent condition.

Kitchen was well supplied with equipment. Large and spacious all through. Nice sunny courtyard garden. Located near to centre of Matlock.

We had a fabulous stay.

8 ladies in our 60s meeting for a school reunion. Loved the house. All got our own room including a loo! Excellently equipped. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Great location for sightseeing. The only downside was that there were roadworks outside the house so we couldn’t use the parking passes. We had four cars between us and you can only get one on the front of the property. However plenty of street parking around and obviously not your fault. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to larger groups. Thank you very much.

It would be better to have a bath towel and hand each.

The welcome pack was lovely and most generous. All the beds were very comfortable and the house was nice and warm - which was very good. Really suitable house for a big group with space to be together or spread out. Great base to explore the area , with lots of lovely walks and places of interest. We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

Had a lovely weekend celebrating a 60th birthday with 15 friends.

Good location for all the bars and restaurants. Could do with a couple of large frying pans and hairdryer otherwise very well equipped.

We could not find tea towels or oven gloves.

Fantastic place to stay for our large group in Matlock.

Would definitely love to come back!

Lovely property.

Really great facilities, especially the number of bathrooms/WCs. Bedrooms modern and well designed. Living areas a little more dated, but comfortable and cosy. WiFi doesn't reach the TV on the lower ground floor, so didn't use this room as much as we thought we would. A bigger kitchen bin would also be useful. Appreciated the lovely new laundry machine. Great property overall, would recommend it and we hope to return.

Fabulous place to stay and celebrate an 80th birthday.

Perfect location within walking distance of Matlock town centre. The house is amazing and the basement was perfect for games young and old. Would recommend to anyone.

Arlington House is an amazing property, There was plenty of room for 13 of us.

We enjoyed the games room and had a quite a few games of pool. Matlock town centre is less than 5 minutes away with a good range of shops. We all had a fantastic stay.

The house was excellent and very impressive with the amount of toilets, bathrooms and rooms available.

Our group had a great time and the location was perfect for a access to the town. The beds and bedding were extremely comfy, thank you for hosting us.

This house was ideal for our group of myself, husband, 3 sons, wives and family.

We had plenty of space and facilities. We had 3 under two year old and the cot and high chairs requested were there. My only suggestion for improvement would be to give more details re parking prior to arriving at the house. I hadn’t realised that we could park a car outside on the road. However we had purchased 3 day rover passes which were good value for parking throughout the area.

Arlington House is a wonderful place to stay for large, mixed age groups.

Plenty of space to spread out, immaculately clean, super comfy beds and all the cooking equipment you need to feed all guests. The sauna was also a hit with my sons. The location is perfect too being a stones throw from the town and easily accessible for other parts of Derbyshire.

Didn’t find the knife drawer until Sunday afternoon.

Maybe a note in the information file would help!!

The property is in a fabulous location.

The house was amazing for our family Christmas break. The only thing that lets the property down is that the TV upstairs is too small. There is a much larger one downstairs which is a great size but unable to plug fire stick into it as the TV is built in. The blind in room 4 is broken and has been mentioned before but still not fixed. Great that all rooms had an en-suite toilet and the games room was fabulous for the kids/big kids. Would definitely stay here again

A really lovely large comfortable house right in the centre of Matlock - great for last minute supplies but also easy access to the beautiful walks of the Peaks.

It was ideal for our large group of mainly couples, well equipped and plenty of space that was clean, modern and well laid out without being somewhere that you were scared to relax too much! The Christmas decorations were a nice touch too :-)

Great for large groups especially having the games room.

Easy to walk into town with all the amenities you need.

All good - just a couple of observations from ladies using the rooms.

. Room 7 top floor - toilet leaking at back left and at front Wifi in basement not working No 'Resident at Arlington house' badges (made do with scribbled note) Not sure of room number - first floor with two single beds - Blind had to be opened/closed by hand (tricky whilst standing on the bed) as it wouldn't catch on the rachet thing These are merely observations and not criticisms as we realise that it is impossible to test everything all the time. A lovely house - felt very covid safe even with a large group as there was plenty of room and mostly separate bedrooms. Thank you.

Beautifully clean, really well equipped excellent location, so spacious, the games area was a huge bonus and 2 big TV"s kept everyone happy, there's nothing we could fault with this house, the beds were a talking point because they were so comfortable, the 15 of us had a fantastic weekend and now plan to do it as a regular thing.

We were there as a family to celebrate dad’s 80th birthday and the house was perfect for our needs.

The lower floor entertainment area was a huge asset and our teenage grandchildren enjoyed the pool table etc. The proximity to the town centre but also to the countryside was excellent. Altogether a great weekend was had by all (age range 14 years to 80).

Enjoyed 4 nights stay at Arlington, wonderful place, looks and it is actually better than shown on pictures, very spacious and perfect for a big family.

The sauna at the end of long day is perfect to relax. We had some minor hiccups with the WIFI, but Danielle was very helpful and only a text away to help and sort out any issue. Imtiaz

The house was amazing with plenty of space for everyone.

The location,although only 2 minutes from town centre ,was peaceful and quiet.The owner Danielle was most pleasant and efficient.Without hesitation would definitely visit again.
