“Apartment was very airy and comfortable but would have liked some guidance on rubbish disposal and recycling- ended up bringing newspapers and bottles back with us to recycle at home.”

Really went against the grain having to leave food waste, cans and plastic in kitchen bin all week.

“Still Fabulous”

This was our second visit to Tawney House. As before, the apartment was warm, cosy & well equipped. Key collection was hassle free. The car park for the apartment residents ensured we never had any problems parking. It is a fantastically situated apartment - 2 minute walk to the park & 5 minutes into Matlock. The Peak District & Derbyshire are a beautiful part of the country & well worth a visit.

“Perfect”

What can I say about this cottage? We loved it! Car parking - Off road space. No problems parking. Value - Amazing value! Bathroom - Spotless and modern. Bedrooms - Clean & warm. Bedding & towels provided. Living area - Open plan. Kitchen has all you need. View to the church was lovely- the church is lit up at night. Packet of biscuits on arrival - a lovely treat. Sofa was comfy. TV has Sky. DVD's & books if required. Location - 5 minute walk into Matlock through the park. Matlock is lovely. It has independent shops as well as high street brands. Big Sainsbury's near by. Easy walk to the train station - the line goes to Newark via Nottingham & Derby. The X17 bus goes to Chesterfield & Sheffield from outside the apartment & a bargain at £5.80 for a Day Explorer that includes the trams. Owners - Lovely. We had a perfect break & look forward to going back. The only thing to note is that the property can only be reached by outside steps.

“Comfortable, spacious apartment wth everything you could need”

Lovely clean apartment. Within walking distance to the centre of Matlock with restaurants and pubs. There is one pub just across the road and a local convenience store. The apartment had everything we needed and there was easy parking. The key collection arrangements were fine and the welcome was great.

“Brilliant flat & location”

The flat was walking distance to town.The flat was bigger than in the pictures. It also had board games and some toys. It was very thoughtful to leave chocolates and champagne for new year & the Christmas tree was still up. We had a lovely stay.

“Well equipped and well located flat”

We stayed at the flat in May 2014. It was clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It was only a short walk into the centre of Matlock through a very pleasant park. The provision of milk and biscuits on our arrival was a welcome touch. The flat is part of an old building converted into flats and is accessed via a set of external stairs. The flats have a dedicated car park. Although there is no car park for the sole use of this flat we had no trouble getting parked. This is a good base to explore the southern Peak District. There are good bus connections which we used to visit Bakewell and Buxton (the advantages of an OAP bus pass). The description does say that it sleeps 4 but the second bedroom is small and may be quite cramped for more than one. This didn't affect us as we did not use the second bedroom. Would recommend.

“Highly enjoyable”

A well located apartment, clean, tidy and comfortable. The hosts made us very welcome with little touches of a pint of milk and box of chocolates. Although the parking area tended to get busy in the early morning we were not affected as spent the days out visiting Dovedale, The Heights of Abraham, Carsington Water and Crichton. There are steps which you need to climb to gain access so possibly not suitable for all. There is a lovely well maintained park just 5 minutes walk which leads you into Matlock centre. We would certainly consider visiting this apartment again in the future. It suited the 3 of us well.

“More than exceeded expectations”

Just returned from a wonderful weekend at this property. Key collection arrangements were most efficient and we entered a warm, clean, comfortably most welcoming apartment- exactly as shown in the photos. The position was excellent- just minutes away from the park and the town centre shops. There was no problem at all with noise despite celebrations for the Victorian Christmas weekend. being in full swing. The double glazing in the main bedroom was excellent and there was no evidence of the noisy air vents mentioned in some other reviews. We never met the owner showed us in and both he and the people we met from other apartments were all most friendly. Matlock and the surrounding area have much to recommend them and this apartment is a great base from which to explore.

“A lovely family retreat; excellent facilities and atmosphere”

We needed at short notice somewhere here to stay for the weekend for a wedding. We have a 4 year old and a baby, who at the time was 7 months old. We were unsure of this place because the photos suggested the apartments were a bit built up and the flat weeny. Neither turned out to be true at all. It was spacious, tastefully done with excellent facilities and lovely views. Both boys were very settled here and there was a very warm welcome. We would definitely return

“Home from Home”

What a wonderful apartment in a great location. After a stressful journey on Christmas Eve we arrived at this super clean apartment with a bottle of sparkling wine and luxury chocolates to greet us, even a bottle of milk in the fridge The apartment is very well equipped to the highest standard and there are lots of extras there to make you feel at home. The area is steeped in history so lots of things to see and do. Check out the guest commentary book as there are some great tips for eating out etc in there. It was our first Christmas away from home in 25 years and they had put up a tree to make it feel homely, the stay turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.

“Great stay in Matlock”

This was the 3rd time this year that I had stayed in Tawney House, so you can see that I reckon it highly! Clean, comfortable, warm & everything that you could possibly want Newsagent opposite & also an excellent fish & chip shop. Behind the flat was a lovely park & you can walk through this to the shops in Matlock town, which is such a great town. Having a oap bus pass we could get to many places without using the car. Derbyshire is such a lovely county with many great walks.

“Ideal cottage holiday”

Location was excellent for exploring the peak district and if that was not enough, the accommodation was ideal- spacious and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone- if fact we have already done so!

About the location

MATLOCK

Matlock Bath 1 mile; Bakewell 8 miles.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
