Property Details

This Edwardian house has 15 steps to the first-floor rooms, making access difficult for guests with limited mobility. Evacuation routes include the fire escape door on the first floor and the entrance hall. All rooms have short pile carpets, adequate storage, and information folders with emergency numbers and local recommendations.

“This Edwardian house distinguishes itself with thoughtful touches and South African art, set in a quiet corner near Matlock's center; the garden is a truly unexpected delight. Breakfast shines with local ingredients, and packed lunches offer a personalized touch for exploring the Peak District. I found it a particularly special place to stay.”
