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.
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.
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.).
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!
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.
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
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.

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!

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.
