The Old Butchers Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Butcher’s Cottage in Matlock. The cottage was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and full of character with all the modern comforts you could need. It felt like a real home from home. The location was perfect — just a short drive to Chatsworth House, which made exploring the estate and Christmas market so easy. There were also plenty of great local restaurants and pubs nearby, ideal for relaxed evenings after a day of sightseeing. Overall, a charming cottage in a fantastic spot — we’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Peak District!

If we were to suggest any small improvements, it would be to repair the broken step outside the twin bedroom for safety, perhaps add a little more lighting in the lounge to make evenings even more inviting, and having access to a broom in the courtyard to sweep the leaves from the path/hot tube area.

Excellent facilities, hot tub was lovely

Needed a light by the hot tub Drain in downstairs shower was full Shower gel not refilled Outside bins overflowing

Spacious, well equipped cottage with a very large kitchen. Decorated to a high standard, and very well presented. We didn’t use the hot tub, but it was ready for use and well maintained. Everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.

There were carpeted steps up to the twin bedroom- there was a hole under the carpet on the left hand side of the top step which you could feel underfoot as you went up the steps. The cottage was on quite a busy road, so there was some noise, particularly from buses. It was up a steep hill from the town. (Though Matlock is a very hilly place and this would apply to nearly all properties in the town)

Könnyen bejutottunk, a kapcsolattartás a szállásadóval nagyon jó volt. Nagyon jó az egész szállás, mindenünk megvolt, amíg ott voltunk. Jól felszerelt konyha, társasjátékok, a pezsgőfürdő tiszta és rendezett volt.

Csak egy autónak volt hely a szálláson, a második autónak a közeli utcában kellett helyet találni

Great facilities in the house, well equipped kitchen good range of dinnerware etc. The rooms were spacious, nice decor, stylish rooms. Received a nice welcome hamper. Enjoyed the hot tub too.

Loved the size and the location. Was spotlessly clean and the beds were lovely and comfy.

We’d have loved some lights in the outside area so that we could use the hot tub during the evening too.we also had trouble locating the heating thermostat, sent a message via booking.com but received no reply.

Fabulous cottage which has everything you need for a relaxing break!

Comfortable seating in lounge. Comfortable beds. Kitchen well equipped. Welcome pack including a bottle. Spacious. Clean.

Black mould in both showers. Milk sachets left for us were almost a year out of date. We had to throw away our drinks on arrival. Bath plug didn't work. Lounge lighting poor and with dark walls it was quite depressing. Hot tub is huge and three older females did not risk using it. We would have needed rescue. Outside bins were overflowing, heavy to manoeuvre and difficult to place for collection if you have a car in drive. The main problem is parking. Very narrow drive for one car situated on a busy junction. I damaged my car. We chose this property because there was supposedly street parking for a second car. There is restricted parking nearby, and anything unrestricted was full. We had to park our second vehicle a considerable distance away and ferry ourselves and bags around (we are 3 older sisters).
