Originally called Beaurepaire - beautiful retreat - this is now a vibrant and bustling town full of attractions such as the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Just 10 miles away is the popular Peak District town of Matlock which, together with its neighbour Matlock Bath, is set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a wide selection of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a host of other exciting attractions. Incredible views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family with many different activities on offer.

The lodge was exactly as described and was perfect for basic comforts (although the bed in the back bedroom and the duvet were amazing and well above basics). There is no WiFi but O2 reception was good (bit of a saving grace as wanted to research things to do in the area). Would definitely stay here again if I was back in the area, a huge thank you to the owners and their fur pups. Many thanks Lexi (and Douglas)
