The Hollies

The Derbyshire Dales around Matlock draw visitors for walking and exploring the Peak District landscape. The Hollies is a ground-floor cottage on the edge of Tansley village, two miles from Matlock town centre, where you'll find pubs, restaurants, shops and Leys Hall Park with its various recreational facilities. Sycamore Country Park is also within reach for days out.

This is a one-bedroom property sleeping two, with everything on a single level. The open-plan living space combines a sitting area with a dining zone and kitchen, where you can cook proper meals rather than rely on takeaways. There's a double bedroom and a shower room. French doors open onto a patio garden with furniture and a decked area. Essentials like bed linen, towels, heating and electricity are included, along with Wi-Fi and a welcome pack. You get private parking for two cars. One dog stays free of charge; a second can be arranged. No smoking inside.

The cottage suits couples looking for a quiet base to explore the area without the fuss of managing a larger property or shared facilities. It's close enough to Matlock's attractions to visit them easily, yet set back enough to feel removed from town bustle.
