The house was fantastic, well kept and clean. It was spacious for my family of 4. The location is quiet and within a walking distance from the main street. It is better to rent a car of course, and there is a private parking. The owner is very responsive and it was a wonderful stay.

Beautiful house with all amenities
Beautiful clean excellently equipped house in Matlock. Great parking, exceptionally clean. Large and spacious with an amazing kitchen and beautiful bathrooms. Lots of hot water. Great communication. Only downside for us as seniors was the very hilly area. We love to walk but the high location of this lovely home meant we preferred to drive, and therefore park, to visit the town. Beautiful house. Thanks

Lovely Cottage with all the amenities you would want . Location is good near the town centre up quite a steep hill but we are in our seventies and managed it without a problem and found it good exercise. We had no real complaints and would highly recommend.

Very comfortable stay in lovely cottage
We found the cottage very comfortable with good quality furnishing, decor and well equipped. The cottage was spotless. It was situated up a very long and steep hill so the walk in and out of town would depend upon your level of fitness, I would estimate it as being about 0.5 mile. Good drinking pubs close by, we did not try the eating pubs close to the cottage but went down to the town. Good sandwich bar 50yds away (also does bacon rolls). Great to have own off street parking space. Would stay in the cottage again if going to Matlock and highly recommend it.

Luxury cottage, perfect stay
Had a wonderful stay at Bathmans with our 18month old son. The quality of the furnishing and decor was far better than the pictures showed, felt genuinely luxurious. Location wise be aware it is on the top of the hill so a walk into town is quite taxing on the way back! But you can’t argue it’s brilliantly located for easy access to town (and lots of town centre parking of an evening) and for accessing other key places it’s brilliant. A short drive to Bakewell, Chatsworth etc. Access is down some very steep steps at the back so not good for those with mobility issues, but interior is lovely. Fair warning to anyone arriving on a Sunday who doesn’t know the area - there were virtually no places serving food (non of the local pubs etc) and lots of restaurants shut too. Overall a perfect little holiday and we’d love to come back again.

Luxury In the Peaks
The Bathmans Cottage in Matlock is one of the most comfortable rentals I have stayed in. Everything is like new. Extremely clean throughout and finished to a very high standard. Very well equipped kitchen and stunning bathroom & ensuite too. Beds were very comfortable and got a great nights sleep, very quite neighbourhood. My wife's only fault is there were no mirrors in the bedrooms for drying hair etc, had to use the big mirror downstairs in the hall. We have a Ukrainian lady staying with us just now and she came with us also. She was amazed by the cottages standard. Matlock is situated on a hillside and Bathmans is nearer the top so it is a challenging walk up the hill from the town centre if you leave the car. Over all it was a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. The photos on the website don't do it justice.

Two nights in Matlock
Excellent find amongst the slightly faded Peak District accommodation choices. Whilst I like character, I still want style. Bathmans cottage has both. It met my demanding requirements including two separate modern luxury bathrooms. It is really is an excellent property, 10 minutes walk to Matlock town centre. Thought and quality is everywhere, beautiful fixtures and fittings with added luxury of heated floors where you need them. Even a glow in the dark bedside mat to aid locating your glass of water when it’s pitch black. More than fully equipped including more USB ports than the apple store👏🏾 - definite thumbs up. Spotify another thumbs up. Honestly you will not be disappointed. The cottage is a 5* plus.

Beautiful property which was very well finished. Super comfy beds and sofas, great showers and all appliances. Daniel was quick to respond and helpful throughout. Some comments in reviews about parking, I found this perfect and easy to navigate (and I have a pretty big Estate car). Really recommended property for exploring Matlock. Yes there are hills but it is the Peak district!
