Guests say
Matlock Green is a much-loved, well-equipped bungalow in an excellent location for exploring Matlock and the Derbyshire Dales. Guests consistently praise its spotlessly clean, spacious interior and the large, secure garden, which is ideal for dogs and children. The property is within easy walking distance of local amenities, parks, and pubs, making it a convenient base. While a few guests mention minor issues such as dated décor, lack of Wi-Fi, or occasional maintenance needs, the overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights comfort, cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere as standout features.
Cleanliness is frequently praised, with many guests describing the property as spotless, immaculate, and well-presented. Only rare mentions of minor carpet stains or missing towels were noted, but these did not detract from the overall impression.
The location is highly rated, with guests appreciating the proximity to Matlock town centre, local attractions, parks, and walking routes. Some mention the slightly tricky access from the main road, but this is generally considered a minor inconvenience.
Guests find the bungalow comfortable, cosy, and spacious, with particular praise for the beds and lounge. A few mention an uncomfortable mattress or heavy duvet in summer, but these are exceptions rather than the rule.
The property is described as well-equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, white goods, and a secure garden. Some guests noted the absence of Wi-Fi, an iron, or a hairdryer, and a few suggested updates to garden furniture or knives, but overall satisfaction with facilities is high.
Several guests mention thoughtful touches such as milk on arrival and helpfulness from the owner. However, as gifts or extras are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect these as standard.

It is always clean, cosy, and very roomy. Nice enclosed garden. Very close to shops and all local amenities. Hope very much we will be able to carry on going. Pauline

A hair dryer would also be a useful addition. The gas safety certificate appeared to be out of date, which may need checking.
