Having visited Matlock since we were very young, buying our own holiday home there was a lifelong dream. Poppy cottage couldn’t be better for us and the main reason is location. Being right in the centre of Matlock, yet in a quiet no traffic area, allows us to frequent the local cafes and restaurants but enjoy a great night’s sleep. We enjoy the beautiful scenery around Matlock and although we only live 15 miles away in Belper we feel totally relaxed and in holiday mode whenever we stay at Poppy Cottage. Being a host has allowed us to share our cottage with wonderful guests who also appreciate the lovely Derbyshire countryside.

The popular Derbyshire town of Matlock and neighbouring Matlock Bath, have been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, Matlock offers a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House.
