The area
Matlock Bath is a unique village with something for everyone including stunning scenery, beautiful walks and cycle rides, rowing boats, cable cars, canoeing, rock climbing, caves, a theme park, a mine and museum plus a great mix of pubs, take aways, restaurants and cafes.
Matlock Bath is a small spa town in the Peak District, fortunately prohibited in growth by the steeply wooded limestone cliffs forged by the River Derwent. Thermal springs discovered in the late 17th century led to the growth of the village as a health resort. These days the town attracts many visitors but probably most famously to its dramatic cable car ride which spans the hugely picturesque valley nearby our property known as The Heights of Abraham'.
Matlock with it’s antique shops, trendy bars and restaurants along Dale Road is within walking distance or a short train ride.
The cottage could not be better situated to access the treasures of the Peak District with the country houses of Chatsworth, Haddon, Hardwick, Tissington and Bolsover Castle all within a 20 minute drive. Further market towns of Bakewell, Ashbourne, and Wirksworth are within a short drive. The A6 which runs through the valley provides swift access to the A38 and the motorway networks with a national rail hub in Derby. Matlock Bath train station is less than a 10 minute walk away with hourly services to Derby and Nottingham and beyond.

We loved our stay at Ranmoor! It was just the kind of accommodation we wanted for our family. It had everything we needed and was great for the kids. An easy walk into Matlock Bath and all its attractions but once back 'home' it was peaceful and tranquil. We loved sitting out in the beautiful garden looking out across the valley. The house itself had a lot of character and was very homely and comfortable. We found our hosts to be very helpful, especially when my grandson was ill at the beginning of our stay! Thanks for going out of your way to help us.
Ranmoor is a place we'd love to return to in the future. It is a delight!

What a glorious property! High-end furnishings, that are as cozy as they are classy, made this cottage feel like a European dream for us. The location is ideal for hiking in the Peak District as well as visiting sights like Chatsworth and Haddon Hall. Comfortable beds with soft blankets, two bathrooms with plenty of hot water (and plenty of water pressure), a fully stocked kitchen, and the gardens...wow! Petra, the host, is extremally responsive, generous and kind which made the overall experience everything we could have hoped for. If your dates are available, don't hesitate to book this wonderful property!

We had a wonderful 4 nights at Ranmoor.
The property is perfectly situated for a short walk into Matlock Bath to take part in whatever activity you planned to do for the day.
There were 2 generous size double rooms that were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.
A smaller bunk room for children.
A generous bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs.
Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room to relax into with a glass of wine in the evening after spending the day walking in the hills, exploring lead mines and eating fish and chips.
The kitchen diner was well stocked and the cooker and dishwasher were easy enough to use.
Although the November weather wasn't ideal for really enjoying the garden we still loved to enjoy looking out at it in the mornings and the dog enjoyed exploring it too. It is a really good size, on different levels and, as long as your dog isn't one for jumping high, it is pretty much fully enclosed. We felt comfortable letting our boy off lead and loose in the garden but never unsupervised.
Parking was never an issue.
Great communication from Petra throughout.
We highly recommend a holiday in Ranmoor.
Thanks again Petra.

Very clean, well looked after. Had a wonderful time.
Fantastic views.
Some notes for Petra
a few things would have made it even better - eg toilet seat loose, nowhere to put soap/shampoo in the shower.
Would recommend that the gutter is fixed as the dripping is damaging the outside wall and windowsill.

Great cottage, wonderful host
We stayed in Ranmoor for 3 nights. The cottage is beautifully presented and decorated. The views from the lounge and the large bedroom are absolutely stunning. Petra was an amazing host and even left us some fruit and cookkes as a welcome gift! We managed to find parking in the street outside the place so not an issue. Thanks Petra for a memorable stay!

Matlock Bath
This was an super choice for us it was a very clean and well fitted house in a lovely location. Ideal for long walks from the town itself without having to drive. Small town but very friendly in all shops and bars. Be prepared that when you going anywhere around the area it can be hilly but fun.

Myself and relatives from New Zealand enjoyed staying in this fantastic property. Everything is of a high standard and was clean and tidy. Lots to do within walking distance so nice not to need the car every day, walks along the river and hillside opposite into Matlock. The cable car up to the Heights of Abraham was worth doing and handy to walk back down to the house after. Plenty of equipment for cooking our own meals and James (2yrs) enjoyed the jigsaws, books and puzzles. Great garden space, bigger than I realised from pictures and we had no problem parking 2 cars. Excellent communication with the owner before and during our trip to ensure we had everything and could find the property. Very easy check in process. I have already recommended the place to family who may have guests wanting to stay in the area and would use it again myself.

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated, great views overlooking Matlock Bath. Brilliant walks nearby.
Had a lovely week. Petra∋gel were very welcoming and helpful. Thoughtful welcome pack - including fizz ! We were the first guests to stay since complete refurbishment, so everything is very fresh and new. House is very comfortable, warm and very clean. Views from the sitting room great even on dull days. Lots of great walks, cafes and places to visit nearby. Look forward to staying again , in warmer weather so can make use of the garden. Easy downhill walk into Matlock Bath. Dog walks from the house too. Great location.
