About this property
A beautifully presented holiday retreat on a quiet lane on the edge of Matlock.
Woodpecker Cottage is a super cottage hidden away on a quiet little lane on the outskirts of Matlock. Newly created, it provides really classy accommodation with its superb lounge with log burning stove, ultra-modern dining and kitchen areas, luxurious bedrooms with White Company linen and French doors out onto the two patios. Wander along the lane and you are immediately in lovely countryside. Wander down into Matlock to find lots of local shops, restaurants and many a pub to quench your thirst. Or just laze on the patios and listen to the birds.
Matlock is a lovely town nestling in a cauldron of hills with jumbles of cottages cascading down the hillsides and the river Derwent splashing down the valley. Hall Leys Park and the Arc leisure centre are super. There are lots of little shops to explore as well as two good supermarkets.

Fabulous stay at this property. As a member of staff at Holiday Cottages I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to other guests. Very clean, comfy and so well equipped, we were very well looked after.

We had a fantastic week in Woodpecker Cottage. It had everything we could possibly need and was in a very quiet location. It was great base to explore the area from and we hope to return soon.

Woodpecker Cottage is absolutely gorgeous. It's lovely and light in the living room/kitchen, and it's been beautifully decorated with lots of additional touches. Everything is of a very good quality and Marilyn was the perfect host. It's in a very quiet location at the very top edge of the town, about 50 yards up a track, which was a bit rough for our little car. We visited several local pubs, and would recommend The Gate Inn in Tansley.
