Springbank

Springbank is an utterly wonderful mellow stone cottage on the hillside above Matlock with fantastic views across the Derwent Valley. It provides lots of spacious, quality accommodation with oak floors, shuttered windows and a glowing log burning stove.  Combine this with dramatic Little Greene decoration, luxurious furnishings and lovely paintings and prints to make a really incredible holiday retreat.

Spend sunny days on the loungers in the lovely terraced garden that stretches up the hillside, just gazing at the view. Set off on the numerous footpaths along the valley or up into the woodlands on Matlock Moor. Get your cycle from the store and head for the High Peak or Tissington Trails to pedal across the Peaks. Or perhaps just drop down into Matlock or nearby Bakewell to explore all the local shops, pubs and restaurants.

With even wider horizons there are lots more holiday attractions. It's got to be magnificent Chatsworth House, Bakewell's famous Monday market and Victorian Buxton. Some local favourites include Monsal Dale's dramatic gorge, Calver Edge's breath-taking views, Peak Rail's steam trains, Crich's nostalgic tramway and Carsington's wild water sports. After a hard day exploring have the last glass of an evening in the peace and quiet of the garden and watch the sun setting over the hills!
