  We really enjoyed our stay at Bobbin cottage.

  The kitchen diner is a great size and a good space for cooking and chatting. The lounge was very warm and cosy - so much so that we didn't need to light the wood burning stove (darn!). There was an unofficial community apple festival during our stay. Lots of people have apple trees and had boxes at the end of their paths with a note, 'Eating apples free to a good home -take what you need", which was lovely. Matlock is a town of hills, and the cottage is located near the top of one of these, so we were much fitter when we left than before we arrived! There is a pair of playing fields a short walk from the cottage, which was great for walking the dog. A couple of drawbacks - the boiler is in a cupboard in one of the double rooms, and you walk through the twin room to get to the attic bedroom. Neither of these is an issue if everyone is up and about at the same time, and this also reflects that this is a traditional cottage and part of the charm is the layout. The parking space near the cottage is a bit tight, and the neighbours are a bit twitchy about parking. We had two cars and when one pulled up to unload, we could see faces at windows so we moved as quickly as we could so we were out of the way. There was on street parking very close to the cottage. We would stay at Bobbin Cottage again.

  This was a great property well laid out and comfy for us.

  The little extra features in the property like leaving pepper salt and bin bags two toilet rolls helped. The leaving of the information book on the property and the local area was a nice touch. The quality and cleanliness of the bedding and towels was really good. The fact there was a small freezer and a dishwasher was great as we did eat in for some of our stay. The neighbours to the cottage were very pleasant which is good and the fact that the designated parking space was always free was also great as there is very limited parking although we had no issues finding a space for the second car on the hill near the property. The only tiny little niggle was there were 6 of us and the comfy seating in the front room is for 5 but this is so minor as there are other chairs you can bring in from the dinning area. Would be very happy to return to this property and tell friends about it. Great job done by the owners in providing a well maintained and tidy property for visitors to use.

  It is a nice cottage close to town.

  A bit dusty in places and the sofas a bit musty, the bath is also quite small but has a dishwasher, a log burner in the longue, and a gas fire in the kitchen as well as central heating so very cosy. The bedrooms have plenty of space and comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is also fairly large but the the lounge is small. The cottage owner's instructions for parking isn't accurate because another neighbuor told us to move our car- there is obviously an ongoing dispute between the cottages as to who can park in the space but there is space next to the wall that was always available to use. I wouldn't recommend this cottage for those with mobility problems because it has three sets of uneven steps to the front door and steep stairs inside in addition to a sloped area outside to the road. Overall it was comfortable and pleasent.

  My friend and I were both delighted with Bobbin Cottage.

  It's a very comfortable home from home and the cottage has been lovingly renovated with modern touches totally in keeping with its traditional feel. Very comfy beds, excellent bathroom, well equipped kitchen and cosy living room with log burner which would be marvellous in the colder months. Matlock itself is a super bustling little town with lots to do in the surrounding area. We enjoyed the local walks greatly but the hills are not for the faint hearted and the walk up from the town to the cottage is pretty hard going! We also had a fab day out at Chatsworth House which is only a 15 minute drive away but didn't have enough time to visit the restored cotton mills and other interesting attractions nearby. So we'll definitely be returning someday and look forward to staying at Bobbin Cottage again when we do.

  Bobbin Cottage was clean and well thought out.

  The lack of a second toilet for 6 guests meant we wouldn’t return, I feel the house should only warrant 4 guests booking as also lack of space in lounge for 6 guests to sit comfortably. As you would expect in a terraced Matlock position there isn’t any privacy from neighbours. Only 1 toilet roll provided for 6 guests, no Jay Cloths. Having booked with Classic Cottages lots of time we missed the extra touches like a cake or wine on arrival. Beds were comfy, we didn’t like the fact you had to walk through one bedroom to get to another and the same to access the bathroom, made it difficult in the morning. ( again I feel the house doesn’t suit 6 guests) Sounds like lots of critique but the house was clean and had lovely views.
