Guests say
Field Barn in Matlock is consistently praised for its comfort, well-equipped nature, and peaceful location.

The location is generally well-regarded for its quietness and proximity to local walks and attractions. However, some guests note the challenging steep walk back from the town centre and the drive required to reach Matlock, which may not suit everyone.
Reviews often highlight the cottage's cosy and comfortable atmosphere, with comfortable beds and a warm setting. A few guests mention the beds being hard, but this seems to be a personal preference rather than a widespread issue.
Facilities are generally thought to be well-equipped and thoughtful, with a few guests experiencing minor issues such as trouble with heating instructions and a shower door needing adjustment. These isolated incidents suggest room for improvement in maintenance.

About this property
A gem of a cottage with really classy accommodation on the edge of the historic spa town of Matlock.
Field Barn is a fabulous and classy barn conversion hidden away on the edge of the historic spa town of Matlock, overlooking the playing fields and backing onto beautiful open countryside. This really charming cottage provides very comfortable accommodation, with a cosy lounge, up-to-date kitchen, modern bathrooms and luxurious bedrooms we’re sure you’ll sleep peacefully in. There’s a tranquil patio area perfect for you to enjoy your morning cuppa, whilst planning your day of exploring.
Matlock is the friendly county town of Derbyshire and is a good base for public transport to explore the rest of the Peak District and Derbyshire. In the heart of Matlock is Hall Leys Park, with a superb boating lake and competitive sports courts available for the public to use. With an excellent selection of shops in the centre, you won't be disappointed.
If shopping isn’t your thing and you’re looking for something a little quieter, explore the nearby attractions such as Matlock Bath’s cable cars and little Switzerland gorge which are just down the valley. Or catch the steam train from Matlock Station and ride the Peak Railway. Of course, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just a short ride in the car and Carsington Water and the National Tramway Museum are in the surrounding hills. There really is something for everyone.
