  • "We enjoyed our stay at Church side House very much!"

    The location was fantastic in the 'Old Town ' part of Matlock away from the busy main roads but only 10 minutes walk to all facilities. Think it would be a good idea to purchase a couple of heavy duty door mats (one for inside and one for outside) for the front door and some sort of box/container for storing muddy walking boots.

  • "Firstly, cannot wait to go back!"

    Secondly, apologies to owners for early arrival and unloading our cases but we let owner know and owner was gracious about it. What a property?!? Quaint and olde worlde stone cottage. Beautifully decorated and fitted out. Everything you need in the kitchen with quality utensils. Bedrooms with lovely, tasteful decor and comfort. Nice bathroom and modern shower - hubby thrilled with the massage option on his feet lol! Tv has Firestick-style option so can get YouTube and Netflix etc. The situation of the property is spectacular! Overlooking a beautiful 17th century church where we can walk the dogs around and a couple minutes walk to a dog park and lovely walks. Short walk to the town for shopping. I have a bad back so the easy access to amenities was perfect. Loads of cafes, restaurants, butchers, there’s an Iceland and Co-op, gift and charity shops. At the property as we spent a bit of time in the courtyard garden for a smoke and let the dogs out for a sniff - got to know some of the locals which were lovely. Oh and don’t get me started on the Duke William pub two mins away. Get a Sunday lunch there and you will not regret it. All food home cooked, chef and landlord are lovely, and had to take half the beef home which made me and dogs happy for a couple of days lol! Went back in the week for lunch and never had such a yummy mushroom soup! Make sure you are really hungry as portions are generous. Thirdly, which I may have mentioned, I cannot wait to go back :)

    What an amazing review thank you! So pleased you enjoyed every part of your break whilst staying at Churchside! Please let me know when you plan to stay again and I’ll make it extra special! Property Owner

  • "Cottage was great i had seen some cements about the church bell i have to say i think those comments were over the top."

    yes the church has a bell and i did not hear them at night and they only rang for the hour so i don't think that was fair comment. The parking is as stated limited in-front of the house. the parking space just 100 yards up the road was with space always. the pub in-front of these space does good food. the cottage had every thing we needed for a wonderful weekend away

    Thank you so much for the wonderful and honest review! These bells have been ringing for years and certainly before we were on the planet so it’s nice to keep some history going! We would welcome you back anytime, please stay in touch! Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely long weekend in Churchside house."

    Matlock is lovely, there is so much to see and do in the area, and the local amenities are excellent. The house was comfortable and well equipped. I would say, as mentioned in the listing, that neither the house nor the location are really suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The stairs are steep, the walk down to town is very steep, and there is no allocated car parking so you may need to park away from the house. None of that was an issue for us, but I could imagine it being a bit tricky. One other thing to mention is the church bells. They peal the time every quarter hour day and night - the kids found it disturbed them a little bit but ear plugs sorted this so, if like me you are sensitive to noise when sleeping, bring a supply!

  • "Very nice little cottage and well situated."

    Very clean and with all necessary conveniences. I could not work the hob and the information about recycling and refusal collection days needs updating. We enjoyed the stay very much. Thanks.

About the location

MATLOCK

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.
