Matlock Cottages
Swap seaside for countryside and bring the family to one of our
Matlock cottages. We promise fun and entertainment every day!
Surrounded by dramatic scenery at the edge of the Peak District
National Park, Matlock is Derbyshire's historic county town,
while its smaller neighbour Matlock Bath (Byron's 'Little
Switzerland') is a thriving tourist village, renowned for its
architectural heritage, industrial sites, natural splendour and
family attractions.
A conservation area, wander along the elegant Parades, lined
with Victorian and Georgian buildings housing souvenir shops and
eateries. Follow riverside paths through landscaped parkland to
children's play areas. Hire a rowing boat or opt for steam
aboard Peak Rail.
Fantastic days out from your Matlock cottage!
If you're travelling with kids, Gulliver's Kingdom hits
the spot for 2-13 year olds. Boasting over fifty attractions and
cuddly, costumed characters, the terraced park offers all kinds of
themes from the Wild West to Fantasyland.
Find culture and retail bliss at the Derwent Valley Mills World
Heritage Site at Masson Mills, featuring an exclusive shopping
village and working textile museum.
For 'gorge'-dropping views, ride by cable car up to the
Heights of Abraham. Explore the nature trails and enjoy a picnic
lunch.
On a rainy day, head for The Aquarium, a rather quirky
conversion of the old Hydro, the thermal pool now home to carp and
the treatment rooms large fish tanks.
For September/October stays, do book your Matlock
cottage early for the spectacular Matlock Bath
Illuminations - a magical, illuminated boat parade along the
floodlit river every Saturday and Sunday evening.
We have a wide choice of cottages in the Peak
District, with properties for all tastes and budgets.
