“We had a lovely stay in Rose Cottage.”

It was clean, comfortable, warm and cosy and very well thought out in terms of what was provided and the information given by the owners. The owners called to make sure we'd arrived and were happy with everything and were very responsive when we couldn't work out how to open a window! It was a 10 minute (steep downward) walk to the Heights of Abraham cable car base directly from the house (HoA definitely worth a visit) and from there a further 5 in to Matlock Bath. The steep walk to High Tor was worth the effort for the wonderful views. We visited Castleton and the blue john cavern, Bakewell, Matlock, Heanor (grreat antique centre) and Cromford Mill and canal amongst other places, all within easy reach. Lungs feel expanded, spirits restored!

“Arrived after 6 hours due to weather conditions and accidents, generally takes 3 hours.”

Crisps all over lounge floor, needed hoovering, left until next day. Unable to get dishwasher working, purchased salt & dishwaher aid as these were indicated as required, but to no avail, spent rest of holiday washing up. External bins not emptied from previous week, put bins out on wednesday, still not emptied. Had requested beds set as two doubles, but were set up as 2 singles & a very small uncomfittable double. Used grill on day 3, smoked the house out, not been cleaned from previous tenant. Overal very homley cottage, but cleaning service letting it down. Have family locally, but will not stay here again *** Owner Response *** We pride ourselves in providing our guests with accommodation that of a high standard of cleanliness and presentation as our previous guests have consistently reflected in their comments. We were therefore shocked to read the feedback on your stay at Rose Cottage after your visit and apologies for any inconvenience caused. Clearly there was an issue with the cleaning of the Cottage and bedding arrangements and we have addressed these issues with the cleaning company concerned in particular the fact that they had not removed the waste left by the previous guests. If you had advised us at the time we could have dealt with the issues to your satisfaction. As for the problem with the dishwasher we have tested this appliance and it is working fine if the instructions in the welcome pack are followed. Thank you for staying.

“The cottage was brilliant, had everything we could have needed.”

Cookies & Milk for arrival along with a starter pack for wood burning fire. Nice central base for visiting attractions or going on walks. We did bring bikes but decided the roads were too small/hilly for us, never mind our 8 year old daughter, but a 20 minute drive gets you to Carsington Water, brilliant for riding. 5 minutes drive gets you to Lumsdale Falls which is great for walking/adventure.

“Our second summer at Rose Cottage and it was just as fabulous as the first time.”

The Cottage is in the most lovely part of England. Thank you.

- Mr Farrand, July 2018
“Rose Cottage was an excellent base for touring the Peak District.”

Within a short distance of the cottage are many places of interest to visit. The Cottage itself was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We visited The Heights of Abraham, Cromford Canal and Mills, Lea Gardens (great for rhododendrons), Kedleston Hall, Bakewell, and Strutts North Mill museum in Belper( one of the best guided tours we have ever had). We then finished off our week with a day at the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show. We will definitely be going back to the Peak District.

- Mr Davidson, June 2018
“Beautiful cottage with everything we needed.”

Great location with easy access to many places to visit. We had a couple of lovely meals at the White Lion, would definitely recommend a visit. Rose Cottage was excellent value for money.

- Mr Mountain, April 2018
“First time in the Peak District and we couldn’t have chosen a better cottage to hire!”

Family of 4 with two school age children, it was perfect. The cottage has been completely renovated to a very high standard. It was warm, welcoming and very comfortable, especially as the weather wasn’t great. All the facilities were great and we had everything we needed. Location is beautiful, and you are very close to everything that is going on in Cromford and Matlock. I would highly recommend staying here.

- Mrs Winton, April 2018
“Rose cottage was warm, clean and well presented.”

it was in a good location close to Matlock and a nice walk into Matlock Bath. The cottage I believe gave excellent value for money. We have relatives close by, so if we visit again in the winter I would certainly use Rose Cottage again. Chris and Gill have made a wonderful job of renovating an old miners cottage into a nice modem cottage, thank you for sharing that with us. Brian & Martina Wilkins - Tonbridge Kent

- Mr Wilkins, March 2018
“A really lovely cottage, accurately described and in a great location.”

Contact with owner was very simple and timely. There are several walks that can be done from the cottage. Matlock Bath is only 15 minutes away and so is Matlock itself. The snowy weather was no problem as the road outside is a bus route(not at all busy) and appeared to have been gritted and we lit the wood burner so were nice and cosy (although it was a bit unnecessary as we were very cosy anyway!). We had lunch in the local pub(5 mins walk) and it was very nice.Would recommend.

- Mrs Foynes, March 2018
“Amazing cottage.”

So clean and tidy. Lovely finishing touches. Everything had been thought of

- Miss Farrell, January 2018
“Weekend break”

A peaceful weekend away with my 15 year old daughter we both loved the cottage amazing location. The cottage itself is finished to a high standard, clean and very cosy on the cold winter evening. Nice country pub just up the road for a meal and only a short walk into Matlock Bath although a steep climb back up hill. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

“Rose Cottage provided a lovely home from home in a perfect location to explore the area, plenty to do whatever age/ability without travelling far.”

Spotlessly clean and well equipped it provided the perfect base. Great time had by grandparents, ourselves and babies!

- Mrs Franklin, July 2017
“Rose Cottage was exactly like in the pictures on Sykes.”

It was also nice to find a box of milk and cookies waiting for us. Sometimes it's the nice small surprises that make holidays wonderful. Thank you.

- Mr Farrand, June 2017
“Best self catering property we have ever used.”

Well appointed, clean and with lots of little extras. Local buses very useful for exploring locally. White Lion pub serves excellent meals.

- Mrs Waters, June 2017
“Rose Cottage is a comfortable, charming, well equipped property.”

The owners did a great job in providing local information. The property is close to local amenities, as well as close to good local walks in the country.

- Mr Abbott, May 2017

“The cottage is finished to a very high standard .”

You only need to take food as everything else is supplied . A 5 star property

- Mr Bownes, January 2017
“The cottage has just been refurbished - everything looks and feels new, modern, comfortable and luxurious.”

The owners seem very thoughtful and have tried to provide absolutely everything one might need - even a few simple and modern decorations/lights were put in to brighten the house for us over Christmas

- Mrs Goodman, December 2016
“Cosy, well equipped and very clean cottage”

This cottage is perfectly modernised. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Cosy living area with woodburner (basket of logs included). The beds were super comfy. Decent off road parking for one car. Cannot fault it. Location-wise, it is just outside Matlock and Matlock Bath. It is opposite a footpath that runs down a hill to the Heights of Abraham cable cars and the railway station at Matlock Bath (15 minutes downhill, longer on the way back up!). A hilltop walk leads off this toward Matlock town (about 30 minutes of quite steep walking). You can also walk into Matlock via the quiet road from the house. Chatsworth is about 20 minutes away by car and Alton Towers about 50 minutes. Plenty of other lovely places of interest within a short driving distance. There is a cosy pub within 10 minutes' walk called The White Lion - really yummy food and family friendly. Plenty of other pubs in Matlock and Matlock Bath. We had such a lovely holiday here. The cottage was the perfect place to come back to after long walks and we would thoroughly recommend it. The owners have obviously put a lot of effort and thought into it and it is much appreciated.

“Really nice cottage - well specced and tidy.”

Location is fantastic, good pub 300 yards down the road - what more could you ask for. Good communication from the owners.

- Mr Cole, November 2016
“Rose cottage was beautifully decorated, very homely and comfortable.”

It was very clean and the area is lovely. We were very pleased with our choice of cottage and would love to return again some time. The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure this property is of a high standard.

Today Matlock Bath offers a selection of pubs and shops, Arkwright's Cromford Mill, a world heritage site, and Venetian Nights during September and October, which feature decorated and illuminated boats floating along the river. The village boasts a plethora of attractions such as Gulliver's Kingdom, the Peak District Mining Museum or you can enjoy a ride on the Heights of Abraham cable car where you can take in the views in style.
