About this property
A wonderful mellow stone cottage with incredible views across the valley.
On the hillside above Matlock, Springbank Cottage has utterly wonderful views out over the beautiful Derwent Valley. It also provides lots of quality accommodation with traditional features combined with lovely decoration, furnishings, paintings and prints.
This property is perfect for accessing the numerous walking or biking trails across the nearby countryside as well as being in the ideal position to visit the many local attractions that the Peak District has to offer. Why not visit Monsal Dale gorge, Bakewell’s Monday market, the Victorian town of Buxton or wonderful Chatsworth House; you won’t be left disappointed!
After a busy day exploring, try a meal or a drink in one of the local pubs and restaurants. Then have your favourite tipple on the patio, enjoying the peace and quiet and watching the sun setting on the surrounding hills.

This is a wonderful property for a family stay. Very spacious, comfortable and well equipped in the kitchen. My family and I spent a week here and had a wonderful time catching up with family and friends who lived nearby. The location is a short drive into Matlock; the walk into town is just over 30 minutes although I would recommend a taxi back due to the hills! The area is steeped in history and we were spoilt for choice in finding interesting things to do: Heights of Abraham; Chatsworth House; Peak District Mining Museum in Matlock; Cromford Mills; we even ventured to Alton Towers and Dovedale for a hike although the stepping stones were impassable due to flooding. We had also booked to see the Matlock illuminations but unfortunately this was also cancelled due to Storm Babet and the high water levels. We ate out a few times in Matlock - recommend Spice (Indian restaurant), Thai no1 and Buddy’s. The Remarkable Hare was our pub of choice. Back at the house, just 10 minutes down the Lane was a local pub which we also visited. Parking on the drive can be tricky due to the steepness, and I wouldn’t recommend this property if you have mobility issues for this reason, but for anyone else it’s a definite winner!

Beautifully appointed and presented cottage, with lovely views across Derwent valley. The good weather allowed us to fully enjoy the large patio and higher terrace, which were sunny spots for an evening tipple. The property itself combines a traditional stone cottage appearance with a modern well-equipped and spacious interior. We immensely enjoyed our stay in this fabulous home away from home.

Springbank was an absolutely stunning property. The photos do not do it justice. The rooms are large and airy, and appear much bigger than the photos. We felt let down by the number of toilet rolls (1 per bathroom for 6 people for three nights was not enough). We were only given 1 dishwasher tablet, and a minuscule amount of dish liquid, we had to go out and purchase extra for our stay. There were no dishclothes available to use to wipe down counters. All in all a wonderful property, with just a few niggles. Garden had everything needed and the views made up for the weather not being on our side for the weekend. Beds were very comfy, and the bath was a hit with our group!
