We love hearing from guests who’ve enjoyed their time at Derwent House, and this recent family review captures exactly what makes staying here so special.
“Derwent House was a perfect place for our family stay in Matlock. We had a lovely stay with a great base to explore the Peaks. As we were there during the heat spike the house was perfect — beautifully cool during the heat of the day. Good access to the centre of Matlock and places to walk around the town.
We cooked for ourselves most of the time, however we did enjoy takeaway fish and chips from the Matlock Fish Bar and a delicious afternoon tea at the Orangery at St Elfin’s Park. We had good service from Tesco and Sainsbury’s deliveries. We walked, ran and cycled around the area. The house is adjacent to the local park and given the hot weather the water park — mostly children — was great for our granddaughter. Further afield, Dovedale is lovely as well as Bakewell.”
We’re always delighted when families make the most of everything Matlock and the Peak District have to offer — and it’s wonderful to know Derwent House provided the perfect base for their stay.
