About this property

Churchside House is a delightful, three-bedroom holiday retreat resting in the heart of Matlock in Derbyshire. A charming, end-terrace cottage boasting a front courtyard and rear patio, tasteful interiors, and superb location with proximity to nearby amenities and a stunning view of nearby St Giles' Church, this welcoming abode makes an ideal base for families, friends, or even sharing couples seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape near the Peak District National Park. Park up roadside next to Churchside House, taking a moment to soak in your tranquil new surroundings before stepping inside your new home-from-home. Be greeted by a warm, vibrant atmosphere, making yourself immediately at home in the fully-equipped kitchen/diner where delicious dinners can be both prepared and enjoyed as a group. On warmer days, step out to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the outdoor furniture, raising a glass of your favourite tipple to toast your getaway. To unwind, kick back and relax in the sitting room, complete with two plush sofas, a well-placed electric log burner, and a sleek Smart TV that can cater movie nights with your loved ones. When sleep finally calls, head upstairs to refresh with a rejuvenating shower before you catch your valuable rest in one of the home's three inviting bedrooms, choosing between two king-sizes and a single. If you can tear yourself from your wonderful new dwelling, set out on foot to explore Matlock and beyond. A brief stroll will bring you to your nearest convenience store, the Go Local Community, where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be savoured at The Duke William or The Red Lion. During your stay, make sure you stop by the Pic Tor War Memorial, amble through Hall Leys Park, and delight with a peaceful walk along the River Derwent towards the historic Matlock Derwent Bridge. For a full day out, jump in the car and head west into the Peak District National Park, a magnificent region home to Froggatt Edge, the Mermaid's Pool, Bamford Mill, and the Treak Cliff and Blue John Caverns. Enjoy the ultimate escape to Derbyshire by booking a stay at Churchside House.

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!
