About this property

Amber Cottage is a delightful reverse-level holiday home resting in the picturesque town of Matlock. Sitting peacefully on the outskirts of the stunning Peak District National Park, this charming cottage is perfectly suited to a family or a group of four friends, seeking an exciting expedition in the Derbyshire countryside. Step inside the welcoming embrace of Amber Cottage and be greeted by two well decorated bedrooms, one boasting custom-made oak adult bunk beds, and a spacious master bedroom with a pine king-size bed and lovely dressing table, where you can take your time to get ready for the evening's festivities after a long soak in the bath or refreshing shower. The master bedroom features a large double patio door leading out onto a private patio with steep steps leading up to a further garden space, where you can enjoy a breath of fresh morning air as you sip a warm coffee and appreciate a relaxing break with the family. Climb the staircase to the first floor and prepare a hearty breakfast in the well-thought-out kitchen with the help of all the useful appliances, before heading into the warmth of the living/dining room to feast upon the food. Venture out onto the upper patio and enjoy a glass or two at the end of the day and chat with your group about your favourite moments of the holiday so far. Whilst in the area wine and dine at some of the finest restaurants in the local area or grab some fresh ingredients from the local supermarket or take advantage of the local chip shop or takeaways. The property is within easy reach of the gorgeous country houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, whilst the nearby pretty market town of Bakewell lies within the heart of the Peak District National Park and offers a great place for meandering; don't forget to stop for a Bakewell pudding. For walkers and cyclists there are several trails close by including the Monsal trail and High Peak trail offering outstanding views through the countryside. For an unforgettable holiday with those closest to you, stay at Amber Cottage.

Since the late 17th-century construction of the resort, Matlock, and Matlock Bath, two prominent Peak District towns, have drawn tourists to the region. The Matlocks, which are located in the lovely, wooded gorge of the River Derwent, provide a variety of stores, bars, and eateries in addition to a number of attractions like Gulliver's Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. From the cable car that transports guests to the Heights of Abraham, a fantastic location for the whole family with its show caves, nature walk, water gardens, and Owl Maze, tourists may take in magnificent views of the gorge. The High Peak Cycle Trail begins south of the town, while the National Tramway Museum at Crich is only a short drive away. The market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park lie to the north and shouldn't be missed!

    Good public transport, we only used the car once during our stay. Matlock is a beautiful town with lots of amenities and pleasant walks. Easy downhill walk into town but unless you are super fit I would recommend a bus or taxi back! Cottage was nicely furnished with plenty of kitchen items for cooking meals.

  • Peter

    The owner has taken extra care to make us welcome. The walk to the centre of Matlock involves a long steep hill.
