  • "What a perfect weeks stay in this beautiful little Pod, even from before we arrived the communication from Warren was perfect, making sure we knew where to go for directions and even preparing the hottub for us when we arrived."

    When we arrived the owners both greeted us and walked with us up to the pod. The pod is a short walk along a nice trail from the private car park space to the pod. You are completely alone up there, complete privacy and peaceful atmosphere with only nature around to hear. With such beautiful views from the pod and the hottub itself it's just a perfect location. The pod itself was immaculately presented. With some teas and cakes, freshly laid eggs and a bottle of prossecco provided made for an extremely nice touch after a 3+ hour drive. There was even a dog bed provided and bowls for our little Jack russell and a dog proof enclosure so you can let them out unsupervised. The pod and hottub are both warmed by fire stoves which I very much enjoyed getting the grips with it and the heating in the pod is very easy to get the pod warm. Cooking and cleaning facilities are incredible and exactly what you need. I would best describe it as its an amazing experience for simpler living but in a luxurious way! We both absolutely loved our stay, the location, the pod and the communication and friendliness of the owners too. We 100% will be back. 5*****

    Thanks for these very kind words Liam. Feedback like this makes all the hard work worthwhile and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "**Review of Our Stay at Holbein, Matlock, Derbyshire** We recently had the pleasure of staying at Holbein, a charming little log cabin nestled in the beautiful countryside of Matlock, Derbyshire, and we couldn't be happier with our experience."

    From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a sense of tranquility and peace. The cabin was immaculately clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat where we could unwind and enjoy the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the hot tub—there's nothing quite like soaking under the stars after a day of exploring! The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They went above and beyond by providing us with useful information about local attractions and activities, which made it easy for us to plan our days. Their warm hospitality truly made us feel at home. The area around Matlock is rich with stunning scenery and plenty of outdoor activities, making it a perfect getaway for nature lovers. Whether it was hiking, visiting local attractions, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, there was never a dull moment. Overall, we highly recommend Holbein to anyone looking for a relaxing escape. We had an unforgettable stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for an amazing experience!

    After the year it took to build and fit Holbein we were perhaps understandably anxious that you had a great stay. As our first guests we are very pleased and thankful for your review. Good luck against Lyon on Thursday, Steve. Property Owner

The property

Holbein is a charming lodge situated near the River Derwent in Hackney, Derbyshire.

There are no other units on the land as the lodge takes an exclusive place on the hillside.

With off-road parking, welcoming one well-behaved pet, and uninterrupted views from the hot tub, this inviting retreat is perfect for couples seeking a serene escape near Matlock and the stunning landscapes of the Peak District National Park.

A short 300m walk to the lodge creates a sense of privacy.

Upon entering the single-storey Holbein, you are greeted by a beautifully crafted curved interior of this cedar-built space.

The open-plan area is cleverly designed to maximise space, featuring a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area.

The kitchen is equipped for all your culinary needs, while the dining area provides a suitable spot for enjoying meals.

The sitting room is a haven of relaxation, boasting a woodburning stove and a TV, perfect for those chillier evenings.

When the day draws to a close, dive into the double bed in this studio space, ensuring a rejuvenating night's rest after a day of exploration.

A sliding barn door leads you to the bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, providing all the conveniences for your stay.

Step outside onto the decking, where you can unwind with a cold one and soak up the countryside views.

The outdoor furniture provides a lovely spot for a morning coffee, a book, or a meal with a view.

For an added touch of indulgence, immerse yourself in the warmth of the hot tub, perfect for soothing tired muscles and enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

From here, the stunning countryside views can be appreciated, making Holbein a truly idyllic retreat.

Venture out to visit Chatsworth House, the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, which is an architectural masterpiece boasting remarkable collections of art, a stunning garden and a delightful farmyard and adventure playground; the perfect spot for a day out.

Step back in time at CRICH TRAMWAY VILLAGE, a lovingly recreated period village with a working tramway, where you can take a delightful ride on a vintage car and absorb the captivating history.

Don’t miss Haddon Hall, known as 'the most perfect English house to survive from the Middle Ages', showcasing medieval, Tudor and Elizabethan architecture paired with enchanting terraced gardens.

Any visit to the Peak District would not be complete without a stay at the delightful Holbein.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

MATLOCK

Matlock Bath 1 mile; Bakewell 8 miles.

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.
