Situated in the heart of Matlock Bath, Derwent View is a Victorian listed building that has been lovingly restored into six luxury apartments. Please note on-site parking is only available for Abraham, Gulliver & Arkwright Apartment. Other apartments will need to use nearby public car parks. Pets are welcome – please note that this cottage does not have any outdoor space – but there are numerous short and long walks available from the door. You must ensure that your dog is well-behaved, remains downstairs (or within designated areas) and off the furniture at all times. You must never leave your dog alone in the cottage. Matlock Bath was developed as one of England’s first true tourist destinations. It occupies a beautiful position in a limestone gorge on the River Derwent, and boasts attractive riverside gardens and steep wooded hillsides. The town is still a wonderful place to visit, with a long street of shops, cafes, amusement arcades and places of interest, including an aquarium and photographic museum. The riverside walks are great for peaceful, shady strolls, and there is a good children’s playground area to keep younger visitors amused. We ask that dogs are kept off the furniture and not left alone in the apartment.
