  • "The Holbein was the first stay in a "pod" for me and the dog."

    It was beautifully constructed, both inside and out and we were sorry to leave. Everything was very clean, and very well fitted out. The welcome pack was very much appreciated - thank you! The wood-burning stove was the highlight of our stay and very welcome with the cold evenings. The dog-bed and bowls was a very welcome surprise and Rex made a bee-line for it straightaway. I didn't have the courage to use the hot-tub: nice to get in but not keen to get out, but in summer it will be different. Good, accessible parking. We selected the pod for peace and quiet, and weren't disappointed. Highly recommended and we hope to come back when it gets warmer.

    Thank you for your feedback Peter. I stayed myself after doing some maintenance and share your opinion of the peace & complete silence. We'll light the hottub for a summer evening long soak on your return. Property Owner

    Nicola and warren were very hospitable and very helpful if we ever had a question. The area is very private and there is some lovely scenery to look over whilst in the hot tub. We really loved the aesthetic of the place and will definitely be booking to stay here again.

  • "This was our second stay at Holbein in 6 months, the pod is perfect for a nice quiet get away & has everything you could need."

    Nicola & Warren are the perfect hosts & are always there if you need anything, nothing is too much trouble. The walks around the area are amazing with some breathtaking views & after a day out walking & exploring the area coming back to the hot tub is just what you need, sitting there just listening to all the wildlife around you is a perfect way to end your day. It is safe to say we will definitely be back sooner rather than later

    Thanks John. Nicola mentioned the three of you were coming back and was looking forward to seeing you again. Its great that you feel the pods winter charm. W. Property Owner

    The hot tub was amazing to relax in and watch the night sky. Nicola met us and made us feel very welcome, thank you for the added touches, and the Prosecco was a lovely treat. We hope next time we get to stay for longer.

It's a perfect place to take your dog it's secure,unfortunately our lovely Molly passed away shortly before we were due to take her for our little holiday .We will definitely be booking again.

    All as advertised. Very relaxing, fantastic views, peace and tranquility. Nicola was always on hand if we needed anything. Thank you for the bubbles, biscuits and eggs Lazing in the hot tub with the amazing views were the perfect tonic after a day of hiking. Great walks on your doorstep. Gentle walk into Matlock took about 30 minutes. Totally enclosed garden allowed Dudley our cocker to roam free. Very comfortable bed. Great spacious shower. BBQ/log burner. Well equipped kitchen. Nothing negative to say.

  • "Thank you so much Nicola & Warren !"

    ! Holbein is an amazing place to stay, you have everything that you need & the hot tub is an amazing bonus !! It’s been a perfect break from reality, having stayed in a few places in the area Holbein has been the best by far !! The walks in to Matlock, Darley Dale & all the surrounding areas are amazing for the scenery & the views & after a long day of walking & exploring the hot tub is a very welcome treat to come home to. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars listening to all the nature & wildlife you’re surrounded by is a perfect way to finish your day. When they say “less is more” you don’t always agree but in this case Nicola & Warren have got Holbein absolutely perfect & spot on & a return visit is definitely on the cards sooner rather than later. Thank you so much again John & Pepper

  • "Warren and Nicola are amazing down to earth hosts, greeted us at the gate and even helped us with our bags."

    They gave us a thorough run through of everything and even suggested some local walks. The fresh chicken eggs and milk were a lovely touch. We took our Greyhound Nutty and we're surprised to find the bed they provided was big enough even for her. She couldn't have been happier staying here, don't think she wanted to leave. The pictures don't do the views justice. Sitting in the wood fired hot tub and staring at the landscape as the sun sets was pretty special. There was an abundance of firewood, we didn't even make a dent. Honestly couldn't fault anything, it was a perfect little weekend getaway. We hope to be back soon! Thanks again!!

    Thank you for kind words. It was a pleasure having you stay with us. Hopefully we’ll see you both and Nutty again Nicola Property Owner

  • "We had an amazing break at Holbein."

    Nicola and Warren are incredible hosts with a really strong outlook on being eco friendly. The accommodation is perfect, romantic and cut off from the rat race. We enjoyed the incredible views and lovely hot tub. Especially at night under the stars. They have thought of all the little things - Binoculars to watch the wildlife - robes for the tub - thick fluffy towels - a warm welcome and treats. It’s secure to let you dog roam. Comfy outdoor furniture to sit and soak the views. It makes the walk up the lane worth it! Great walks direct from the property along the railway line. Hoping to revisit in the future.

  • "What a perfect weeks stay in this beautiful little Pod, even from before we arrived the communication from Warren was perfect, making sure we knew where to go for directions and even preparing the hottub for us when we arrived."

    When we arrived the owners both greeted us and walked with us up to the pod. The pod is a short walk along a nice trail from the private car park space to the pod. You are completely alone up there, complete privacy and peaceful atmosphere with only nature around to hear. With such beautiful views from the pod and the hottub itself it's just a perfect location. The pod itself was immaculately presented. With some teas and cakes, freshly laid eggs and a bottle of prossecco provided made for an extremely nice touch after a 3+ hour drive. There was even a dog bed provided and bowls for our little Jack russell and a dog proof enclosure so you can let them out unsupervised. The pod and hottub are both warmed by fire stoves which I very much enjoyed getting the grips with it and the heating in the pod is very easy to get the pod warm. Cooking and cleaning facilities are incredible and exactly what you need. I would best describe it as its an amazing experience for simpler living but in a luxurious way! We both absolutely loved our stay, the location, the pod and the communication and friendliness of the owners too. We 100% will be back. 5*****

    Thanks for these very kind words Liam. Feedback like this makes all the hard work worthwhile and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "**Review of Our Stay at Holbein, Matlock, Derbyshire** We recently had the pleasure of staying at Holbein, a charming little log cabin nestled in the beautiful countryside of Matlock, Derbyshire, and we couldn't be happier with our experience."

    From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a sense of tranquility and peace. The cabin was immaculately clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat where we could unwind and enjoy the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the hot tub—there's nothing quite like soaking under the stars after a day of exploring! The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They went above and beyond by providing us with useful information about local attractions and activities, which made it easy for us to plan our days. Their warm hospitality truly made us feel at home. The area around Matlock is rich with stunning scenery and plenty of outdoor activities, making it a perfect getaway for nature lovers. Whether it was hiking, visiting local attractions, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, there was never a dull moment. Overall, we highly recommend Holbein to anyone looking for a relaxing escape. We had an unforgettable stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for an amazing experience!

    After the year it took to build and fit Holbein we were perhaps understandably anxious that you had a great stay. As our first guests we are very pleased and thankful for your review. Good luck against Lyon on Thursday, Steve. Property Owner

The property

Holbein is a charming lodge situated near the River Derwent in Hackney, Derbyshire.

With off-road parking, welcoming one well-behaved pet, and uninterrupted views from the hot tub, this inviting retreat is perfect for couples seeking a serene escape near Matlock and the stunning landscapes of the Peak District National Park.

A short 300m walk to the lodge creates a sense of privacy.

Upon entering the single-storey Holbein, you are greeted by a beautifully crafted curved interior of this cedar-built space.

The open-plan area is cleverly designed to maximise space, featuring a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area.

The kitchen is equipped for all your culinary needs, while the dining area provides a suitable spot for enjoying meals.

The sitting room is a haven of relaxation, boasting a woodburning stove and a TV, perfect for those chillier evenings.

A sliding barn door leads you to the bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, providing all the conveniences for your stay.

Step outside onto the decking, where you can unwind with a cold one and soak up the countryside views.

The outdoor furniture provides a lovely spot for a morning coffee, a book, or a meal with a view.

For an added touch of indulgence, immerse yourself in the warmth of the hot tub, perfect for soothing tired muscles and enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

From here, the stunning countryside views can be appreciated, making Holbein a truly idyllic retreat.

Venture out to visit Chatsworth House, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, which is an architectural masterpiece boasting remarkable collections of art, a stunning garden and a delightful farmyard and adventure playground; the perfect spot for a day out.

Step back in time at CRICH TRAMWAY VILLAGE, a lovingly recreated period village with a working tramway, where you can take a delightful ride on a vintage car and absorb the captivating history.

Don’t miss Haddon Hall, known as 'the most perfect English house to survive from the Middle Ages', showcasing medieval, Tudor and Elizabethan architecture paired with enchanting terraced gardens.

Any visit to the Peak District would not be complete without a stay at the delightful Holbein.
