Location Details

The popular Peak District towns of Matlock and Matlock Bath have long been attracting visitors to the area. Since the Spa was developed in the late 17th Century, these pretty towns have been fashionable holiday spots and it isn't hard to see why. Offering a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, the Matlocks are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent and are home to the renowned attractions of Riber Castle, Gullivers Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. The Heights of Abraham cable cars provide breathtaking views down the gorge whilst the park itself offers a wealth of activities for the whole family such as the nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. With so many walks and cycle trails through the spectacular scenery, The Matlocks make a wonderful holiday destination.

The ultimate in "year-round" appeal, the Peak District offers countryside, picturesque villages and magnificent scenery. It touches upon six counties and encloses 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, and wooded dales.

Reviews

The cottage is ideal for Matlock. There is a great kids play area and park 2 minutes walk away and a nice pub opposite. The cottage was very good to stay in with everything we needed. It was a shame to come home.

Rated by Mr Dear reviewed on 5th June 2016

Loved this apartment. We had a fabulous week and will not hesitate to return. The apartment was perfect; warm, cosy and comfortable. It was perfectly situated to travel around Derbyshire. There was a bus stop immediately outside and the station within a 10 minute walk. No problem parking. Perfect.

This is the fourth or fifth time I have stayed in this apartment, it is ideal for my requirements. It is very comfortable and always immaculate. It is in an ideal location for me to get around the Derwent Valley and beyond with excellent local facilities (shops, cafes, excellent pubs etc.).

Rated by Mr Smith reviewed on 6th September 2014

A well appointed, well looked after property. The parking is shared by others in the block, but we never had a problem getting parked. It was close to amenities in Matlock, the centre of which is a pleasant stroll through the park. Convenient for buses to other places in the Peak District - useful for OAPs with bus passes!

Rated by Mr Holt reviewed on 17th June 2014

Very nice location, easy walking distance into town. Easy reach of Dovedale. Accommodation was just right for the 3 of us. Very nice welcome. Would definitely consider returning.

Rated by Davidson reviewed on 18th April 2014

High standard of property, closeness to centre of Matlock yet quiet, welcome from owner's father plus friendliness of other residents in the block. More than met our expectations. Cannot fault either Sykes Cottages or the owners of the property. Very satisfied with our stay

Rated by Mrs Layng reviewed on 9th December 2013

The apartment was very comfortable, and central to all the amenities. There was a lot of interesting places to visit, even to just stroll through the lane to the park, and enjoy coffee and tea cakes at the little cafe.

Great apartment, in a great location. Just perfect for exploring the beautiful Peak District.

Rated by Mr Jenkins reviewed on 30th April 2013

A lovely place in a lovely area. We will be back.

Rated by Clarke reviewed on 8th April 2013

The pictures of 8 Tauney House don't do it justice. It looks much better in real life and the views from the living room alone were beautiful. We liked the little touches, such as fresh milk and chocolate biscuits. The host was very friendly and kindly gave us a later check out on the Monday morning, so we could get up a little later, which was appreciated. The area was lovely too, Matlock and Matlock Bath are both very pretty. We spent some time walking between the two, before venturing out to Chatsworth Estates, enjoying the views! We would recommend 8 Tauney House to friends and would consider returning again!

Rated by Mr Walters reviewed on 12th November 2012

8 Tawney House is in a convenient location. Cafe, pub, newsagent, fish and chip shop on the doorstep as were bus stops with a good local bus service. Just a short walk through the park to the town centre. The owner gave us a warm, friendly welcome. The booking process online was easy. Very pleased with the service from Sykes.

The apartment was perfect for our first family holiday with our 6 month old daughter. It is beautifully furnished and maintained and has a lovely amount of airy space in the living area with stunning views out of the window. We were extremely comfortable there and it was a brilliant base for our exploration of the Peak District. As a bonus the shops of Matlock are also in walking distance.

A really fantastic apartment, clean, roomy and with excellent facilities - we could have easily lived there full time! Very good value for money. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and the coffee shop underneath the apartment was an added bonus, we loved the lady who runs it, and the cake. We've already recommended the apartment to family and friends who are very interested.
