Property code: OC-DCWOOD

Matlock is a lovely town on the edge of the Peak District National Park, with cottages lining the hillsides leading down to the River Derwent. Small independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants cluster around Crown Square, and there are lots of holiday attractions nearby – including Matlock Bath with its Heights of Abraham cable cars and Little Switzerland gorge just a mile south. A little further afield, Bakewell – perhaps best known as the home of the unique pudding – is 8.5 miles and the magnificent Chatsworth House is 7.5 miles away. Surrounded by beautiful Peak District countryside, elegant Buxton – England’s highest market town – is a 20-mile drive.

This contemporary cottage is on a quiet lane on the outskirts of Matlock, with lovely countryside all around. The mood is set for a memorable stay the moment you step into the open-plan living room, where there are ultra-modern dining and kitchen areas, plus a stylish lounge with a wood burner and Smart TV for all the home-from-home comforts. A wide spiral staircase leads down from here to two luxurious bedrooms, each with White Company linen and a double bed; one also has French doors opening onto a small patio with outdoor furniture. Close by, there’s Travertine tiling and a large walk-in enclosure in the shower room, which has underfloor heating for additional comfort.

Unwind and listen to the sounds of the countryside from a choice of two patios – there’s a large one with decking and a picnic bench at the front of the cottage, and another paved area at the lower level, also with furniture, so you can sit and enjoy snacks in the fresh air.

Woodpecker Cottage is absolutely gorgeous. It's lovely and light in the living room/kitchen, and it's been beautifully decorated with lots of additional touches. Everything is of a very good quality and Marilyn was the perfect host. It's in a very quiet location at the very top edge of the town, about 50 yards up a track, which was a bit rough for Read moreour little car. We visited several local pubs, and would recommend The Gate Inn in Tansley. Hide

Cannot fault anything about the cottage. So many extras provided by the cottage owners which made us feel so welcome. An ideal base for a relaxing holiday in the Peak District.

Location was easy to get to and access. The layout of the cottage is nice, with the bedrooms being downstairs, it was nice and cool. Marilyn and Alan provide everything youd need for a full visit
