A lovely comfortable stay for two couples. Ann was lovely and welcomed us with bread eggs homemade jam and a bottle of wine. How kind. The house was an easy walk into town and a steep walk back! The wood burner was very effective. Beautiful view across the valley. Lots of places visit. Great central location.

Box Tree Cottage is located close to local amenities in Matlock and enjoys great views over the town and country side. The owner proactively got in contact with us to answer any questions we may have had and confirmed the location of the keys. On arrival key supplies were available so we did not need to go to the shops immediately. We found the Read morecottage to be very comfortable and comprehensive instructions for the cottage were available together with lots of guides and maps for the local area. Overall our stay at Box Tree Cottage worked out very well, providing an excellent base to visit the Peak District. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was a quiet, private location with a lovely view from the terrace. The bedroom with a separate entrance was ideal for travelling with our 24 year old son and gave us privacy and independence when required.

Great accommodation although not a great location to walk back from Matlock as its on a very steep hill! Lovely to have home made cake and jam, eggs, bread, milk, butter and wine on arrival, meant we didnt have to rush out to shop for breakfast the next day . Very comfortable and quiet cottage, thank you.

It is a lovely place to stay, but due to its age and the location in a hill it is somewhat humid and therefore prone to woodlice. The views and peace and quiet were to die for. Owners very friendly and accommodating
