The beautiful house and views.<br/><br/>It was at the top of a very big hill which would not be ideal for people with poor mobility.

Great house!

Lovely property, very comfortable and clean with excellent amenities. The position of the house is at the top of a very steep hill, it has excellent views but a bit of a climb from town. No complaints apart from this and had a lovely stay anyway.

Excellent location, within walking distance of Matlock. Very clean and comfortable, beautiful house with original features and charm. Kitchen had all the essentials needed and comfortable sleep. Thank you host and stay they had a £25 charge for insurance against breakages which was a great weight of the mind with a dog ? Will be returning!

What a beautiful home, spotlessly clean, everything thought of, and more…… beautiful fresh flowers and wine in the fridge.<br/>Our only small gripe, the additional insurance fee…. Add this in to the initial cost, or don’t add at all….. always better to be upfront, transparent with pricing.<br/>Other than that, we would not hesitate to recommend this place, and we will definitely be back.<br/>Thank you??

Rock End, Matlock was stunning to stay in. The decor was very modern but also in keeping with the houses age. All mod cons including an air fryer. With a lovely bathroom too <br/>The listing didn’t mention the steep and uneven depth steps into the front of the property; nor the very steep staircase to the rear. The on site parking was very tricky to navigate; reversing down a steep corner track; with no on street parking left close by if we couldn’t do this. Wellington Street is very very steep- only accessible on foot if you’re fit and well. <br/>Whilst the decor was amazing- there are sharp corners on the fireplaces and worktops; no safety options within the stairs for small children. <br/>Front bedrooms very bright in evening and early mornings during summer months. Our travel blackout blind was useless as windows so big

?<br/>?<br/>?<br/>?Beautifully presented and well equipped house. Very clean. Fantastic views, including castle, from front bedroom. Outdoor space is small and paved, prettily presented with seating, but not ideal for larger dogs. There are a couple of green spaces for walking dogs close to the house however.<br/>Parking space is small and very difficult to access so we used street parking which was readily available. I’d suggest visitors look at the parking space before going down the little lane which leads to it as once in it is difficult to get out!<br/>Short walk to a good dog friendly pub serving food where they spoil your dogs with treats and fuss. Walk into Matlock is very steep so a car is recommended.

Beware. The company who manage this property charge an additional £25 for "damage waiver". They mention a charge deep in the description, but don't tell you the amount until a few days prior to your stay.<br/>Speaking to a neighbour, I don't think the owner knows that their property is listed on Airbnb. <br/>The company give inaccurate details about parking. You do have one space, but if you have anything other than a small car, it is really hard to access. You also need to reverse down a very tight back road to get in, and if the neighbour has their car parked next door, you simply can't park. There is a step metal stairway to the back door. There is no real on street parking unless you are very quick to grab one of the few spaces available. The "short 15 minute walk" to town is longer than this and down an incredibly steep hill. It certainly takes longer than 15 minutes on the way back. <br/>The house itself is clean but the mattress needs replacing and there is no garden to speak of.

The property is beautiful, really well equipped and comfy !!

Keep scrolling, find somewhere to stay that's hosted by a person and not an inflexible business. Also beware they charge an insurance fee on top of the Airbnb fee, supposedly for insurance cover, despite being fully protected through Airbnb host cover.

We had a great three night stay at Rock End. The house was clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. We appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea, milk, biscuits and wine on our arrival. The beds were comfortable with nice linen. We had good weather so we're able to make use of the innovative outdoor space. The stairs are steep but had a sturdy hand rail. There isn't a downstairs loo. We thought it was exceptional value.

Fabulous place, very comfortable and spacious for 5 guests and a dog. Well equipped and with quality fixtures and furnishings. Would recommend/ visit again.

A gorgeous property & beautifully furnished. Relaxing spaces and comfy beds. The Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We had a relaxing and peaceful stay here. It’s located on the top of a hill so had a beautiful view of the castle from the upstairs bedrooms. Would definitely recommend this place.
