If you’re looking for a stay that feels a world away from everything, yet right in the heart of it all… Church View Cottage is exactly that.

Tucked into the hillside above Lower Matlock, this beautifully restored 200-year-old stone cottage blends timeless character with a calm, modern finish, but the real magic? It’s something most guests don’t even expect…

A *secret hidden garden*, quietly tucked away, opening up to a truly breathtaking, panoramic view across Lower Matlock. It’s the kind of view that stops you mid-sentence. Morning coffee hits differently here. Evenings feel slower. It doesn’t feel real… until you’re standing in it.

The space

Step inside and you’re instantly met with warmth and character.

The cosy lounge is designed for proper switch-off time. Think soft, sink-in sofas, a calming colour palette, and a space that invites you to slow down. Whether it’s a film night on the Smart TV or a few rounds of board games at the table, it’s made for relaxed, easy evenings.

The dining area keeps that classic cottage feel alive, perfect for long breakfasts or unplanned, drawn-out dinners.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need — whether you’re cooking a proper meal or just keeping things simple.

Upstairs

Upstairs, you’ll find two beautifully styled double bedrooms, both designed with comfort in mind.

Soft tones, boutique touches, and orthopaedic mattresses mean you’ll properly rest here — the kind of sleep you only seem to get away from home.

Each room feels calm, cosy, and quietly tucked away from the world outside.

Between them sits a fresh, modern shower room with a walk-in shower, keeping things simple, clean, and practical.

Outside (the hidden gem)

And then there’s the garden. Private. Peaceful. Completely unexpected.

A tucked-away outdoor space overlooking Lower Matlock with uninterrupted views that feel almost unreal. It’s the kind of spot you’ll come back to again and again during your stay — not because you planned to, but because it just pulls you back.

Location

Set just a short stroll from Matlock town centre, you’ve got the best of both worlds — peaceful, elevated surroundings with easy access to cafés, pubs, shops, and some of the best walks the Peak District has to offer.
