• "Absolutely beautiful cottage, a nice sized kitchen."

  The garden was very nice and very secure. I could confidently let my dog out knowing that he would not be able to escape! The only negative I would say is the location of the property if you were to travel by bus or train as it is up at the top of a huge mile long hill. You really need your car,I almost considered not travelling by car - good job I did! But,Absolutely beautiful otherwise and the views were great.

• "The property was in excellent condition and well maintained with all necessary items within, the dog also really loved it from the off which does not always happen."

  Only slight drawback is it is at the top of Matlock and to walk into town would have been hard work so drove down. Would stay again.

  Couldn’t ask for more the house was spotless with beautiful decor very clean and modern but homely too ,we loved our time spent here! Fields and woods close by which was great for the dogs, visited Lumsdale falls which was a good but manageable walk from house ! Other local attractions were Bakewell , Chatsworth and Cromford mills . We were very lucky with weather so got to enjoy the garden and the views ! Just be warned it is a steep walk back up from Matlock town !! Nice welcome baskets from owners . Would recommended and definitely stay again !

• "Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location to explore the Peaks."

  The views are amazing and the cottage has everything you need for your holiday. There's parking, a pub down the road and enclosed gardens if you have young children or dogs. The most important thing for me though is the cleanliness and this didn't disappoint. There's nothing worse than having to wash cups and plates before you use them! Although we've visited this area quite a few times now I think we'll definitely be back and will stay here again.

• "This is my second stay at Cavendish Cottage."

  I rarely, if ever, rebook places, preferring to explore somewhere new but I loved it the first time so booked again and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a fab location for exploring local area and there’s lots to do around Matlock and surrounding areas. We had a great time and loved our home away from home. The cottage is gorgeous and the location perfect, opposite a small park and forest. It’s also dog friendly and fully fenced.

• "We stayed here for 7 nights, cottage is well- maintained, it was clean- everything smelt fresh including the cushions."

  On- road parking but plenty of spaces. Beds are comfortable, rooms are spacious including the bath/shower room. Cleaning equipment provided- mop & hoover but you have to bring your own cleaning products. The owner is quick to respond for any queries. We love the welcome pack with some goodies! This is a very good location for dogs, as there’s a huge playing field next to the cottage. Lovely view from the front windows. About 20 min walk to town but bear in mind, this is located at the top of the hill so going back will take double the time unless you’re very fit. We loved our stay here, it was quiet and relaxing.

  Views from the master bedroom are gorgeous! Cottage was equipped with everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Our children enjoyed the park which is situated directly across the road. Note: as others have said, the cottage is located at the top or a very steep hill. We knew this before booking so it wasn’t a problem but do bear in mind

• "Immediate reaction on entering the property was that it was crisp and clean."

  Lovely space for a small family to return to after a day out in the Peak District. Large kitchen exactly as in the photos with a great range of quality cooking accessories. A real home from home. The heating was the easiest to use in any place I have stopped although I was hoping the weather would mean this wasn’t needed! Log burner was also lovey on an evening while relaxing with a glass of wine. Upstairs an outstanding bathroom with the biggest bath I’ve ever seen! Bedroom was immaculate too. The one thing I really noticed was although this was a terraced cottage, it was so quiet and peaceful. As we have dogs I always take away my own Dyson as generally the vacuums in rentals aren’t the best but here there was even a Dyson provided. I’d highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a base to explore the beautiful Peak District

• "The cottage exceeded our expectations."

  Warm, spacious and comfortable. Kitchen diner and bathroom were amazing. A suggestion would be if the owner provided an extra tea towel and bath mat but this is a very minor improvement. Our family really enjoyed staying at Cavendish Cottage and there was plenty of space for other family members to stay for the odd meal time.

• "This cottage is a real ‘gem’ of a find."

  It is so well done with high end finishes throughout. There has been a lot of thought put into the finish and the quality of the cottage is amazing. The beds and linen were of hotel quality and the bathroom is immaculate with great walk in shower which has fantastic pressure. The kitchen is stunning with a beautiful large kitchen table. Situated in an elevated position overlooking Matlock itself. It is a short (but steep) walk back to the cottage. Everything is right on the doorstep, walks galore, lovely restaurants/bars/coffee shops and convenience stores. Emily was very quick to respond and provided little extras like milk, tea bags (well needed upon arrival!) there was also a quality packet of biscuits and some beer! These little ‘extra’ touches make the difference between a nice stay and a perfect stay! We are definitely going to book this cottage again and highly recommend it to friends and family. You will certainly not be disappointed in any way if you booked it…….do it and enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks Emily for a wonderful stay x

• "We had a wonderful three night stay at Cavendish Cottage."

  We are a family or two adults, two teenage girls and a dog, and the cottage was a perfect space for us to cook, relax, enjoy games and a few movies. The views out of the living room and master bedroom were amazing, so lovely to wake up to. The cottage is furnished and decorated to a very high quality, and the facilities were excellent (beautiful kitchen and bathroom, an additional toilet downstairs, real fire and superb wifi). The only slight downside is how high up you are - you get incredible views but the walk down into Matlock, and walk back up, is challenging but we were aware of this and it didn’t put us off our stay and still very much warrants this five-star review!

  I would have given 5 stars but we found the settee in the lounge very hard and uncomfortable and not the same one as in the brochure information I noted it was 7 years old and not up to the standard set by the rest of the cottage. The double mattress was not the most comfortable either although I do appreciate different people have different comfort levels.

• "An immaculately presented cottage."

  Everything you need to start your stay in the Peak District was there. Fully enclosed rear garden meant the dog could safely roam around. Very large bathroom with separate walk in shower with as much hot water as 4 of us needed. Superb kitchen diner with large table made eating in a pleasure and the dishwasher and washing machine meant everything could be cleaned without too much effort. Regarding location, there are nice dog walks straight out of the door. We were advised by a lovely local gentleman on what paths to take. Cavendish road is one of the higher points in Matlock, something to bear in mind if, as we did you want to explore on your arrival. Walking down into town is very pleasant. The walk back up is certainly a work out! Beds comfortable enough, mattresses will never suit everybody and though not as firm as at home the sleep was good. I’d recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a relaxing break, but be prepared to use your car to get around at least some of the time.

  The are owners very helpful. We enjoyed our stay and found the cottage was warm, clean and comfortable. The log fire added to its charm in this very modern cottage with every facility you required. The pub was not far away, a short walk in fact, and the cottage an ideally positioned for nipping down the hill in to the centre of Matlock and surrounding areas. The local supermarket close by for fuel and shopping by and next to the station. We recommend the rail connection to Derby which in itself is a 40 minute service and really worth a trip for the views of the countryside with a train every hour. Would we book this cottage again, Yes, a 5 star rating from us.

  The first holiday home I have booked and it was actually even better than the photos and description. Your home was immaculate, cosy, amazing views, close to many peak district activities and walks. We split our time between chilling out the front garden watching the views and loving life to visiting local friendly public bars and restaurant to then spending time at alton towers so something for everyone to do including our dog Lexi, who was loving life running around the huge playing fields 1 minute walk away! Kitchen was just fabulous, log fire in living area brought some good feelings at night time and views from master bedroom just wow and beds extremely comfy. Also loved the fact there was separate (very large!) roll top Bath in large upstairs bedroom and downstairs additional toilet was ideal. Having washing machine and place to sit round back also great. Owner of holiday home very respectful and leaves you to get on with it but also responds to anything you need very quickly. She's very friendly and special mention to neighbour on other side of property who made us feel welcome to their little piece of paradise in the peaks. Thanks so much for everything and if we don't make it back some time we will definitely be recommending! Mags, Dave, Leo and Lexi the spaniel xx
