We had a fabulous weekend at Highfields, perfect for multi generational family, plenty of space inside and something to entertain everyone. All 14 of us could sit round the dining table and there were plenty of plates, cutlery, glasses etc for all. Beautiful views from back of house and great barbecue area. Really happy with our stay.

We had a lovely stay in Matlock as a family of 15, age range 10-78. The house had everything we could possibly need and the location was perfect for us, bring close to the town centre but also in a private quiet location. Andrew was the perfect host.

Great

We were very pleased with our stay . Great location for everything. Host was very good at responding. Walked a lot with the dog . Went to a lot of surrounding places Chatsworth Markeaton black rock . Farm cable car . Made the most of the time we were there

Stayed at Highfield for a long weekend with family. The house was absolutely gorgeous, spotless and everything was thought of in terms of what was included with the property (we even found a sewing kit to sew up a pokemon toy!) Plus a lovely basket of welcome goodies and useful extras in the food cupboard. We rented the hot tub which was great and the view of and from the garden was stunning. Loved the inclusion of the piano, pool table and the outside dining area too - an excellent location for a lovely family getaway. Andrew was a great host, great with communication and answering any queries, and you can tell he really cares about the property and those who stay there.

Highfield House was perfect for our long weekend break with friends. The house is beautifully presented, clean and well equipped. Plenty of space for the 10 of us. The snooker/ games room was particularly enjoyed by us all. We even managed to Bbq in the undercover outdoor area in November. We can highly recommend this house for a visit to the Peak District. Only a short walk into Matlock and plenty to do close by. Andrew the host is exceptionally attentive.

Fantastic views, great communication with owner, lovely linen.

This was a long overdue family getaway, the home is beautiful, the bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed and plentiful; fabulous bed linens and fluffy towels are provided for comfort. A well equipped kitchen made meal prep easy, with so many of us we dined in almost the whole time, gathering around the enormous table in the dining/ snooker room. The basement room was amazing, keeping the kids (and some adults) entertained and the garden was a bonus for the dogs. There really was something and somewhere for everyone to enjoy company or escape for a little while! Many thanks to the owner, Andrew who was wonderful to deal with!

This property was perfect, a dream house in a dream location. Great facilities and we would happily return!

Fabulous house with a beautiful hosting area and stocked with everything we needed. Comfy beds and well maintained. The views are exceptional and the outside dining space was perfect as the weather was so beautiful. .

A wonderful house and location for a special family get together. Loved the slightly quirky layout with lots of space. Sensational views and well stocked cupboards for a large gathering of adults and children. Pool table a great success as was the hiring of the hot tub. Overall an excellent choice!

16 of us spent a fabulous week in this property in April 22, a mix of adults, teenagers and children and everyone loved it. It's a very comfortable, large property which has great spaces that meet everyone's needs. People can hang out in the kitchen, chill and watch a movie, play games, party and play pool in the big room, play badminton (bring your own set) or appreciate the views in the large, multi-level garden - the photos don't do it justice) or disappear somewhere quiet to read a book to do some work. All at the same time! Kids loved to play hide and seek all over the house and garden. We also dinners and lunches altogether inside and outside and also had a caterer over one evening which worked perfectly and saved us driving to a restaurant. The house is very clean and well equipped without being so immaculate that you'd be afraid to chill out. Felt like home straight away. Also great for those with pets - we had 4 dogs with us and it never once felt crowded. We got the optional hot tub which was a fantastic addition. Matlock town is about 20 minutes walk down a steep hill with all the facilities / shops you could need, although the walk back is quite steep. Amazing peak district walks and scenery abound. The host was very communicative and helpful at all times although we never met in person. Housekeeper also very helpful. One area of improvement that could be considered is recycling - there were no facilities at all in the house to recycle which we all found odd in the 21st century. Such a large house with so many people staying will generate a lot of waste. Most people are used to and expect to play their part to reduce their environmental impact and having some recycling facilities would make a fabulous house even better. Aside from this, highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic stay in this beautiful property - it really is just an amazing place with outstanding views. It’s furnished to the highest standards and has everything you could ever need. Great communication with the owner too - although they didn’t live in the UK themselves- Andrew was very prompt at responding to any queries

We rented the house as a family for a long weekend to celebrate a 60th birthday, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The views were incredible, the accommodation spacious and the dining/billiards room was another level. We all very disappointed to leave and hope to make it back again :)

We stayed at Highfield for a 50th birthday celebration (a year late due to Covid). We made great use of the pool table and the underfloor heating really makes that room. We also had a dinner for 15 people one evening (we used SO Catering who were fantastic) - a bit of a squeeze! Loads of crockery, cutlery and glasses which we certainly made good use of. We hired the hot tub but the weather meant we didn’t get much use out of it (and it was a little disappointing being quite small and located where a tree blocked the view). Beware the lower decking which turns into an ice rink in wet weather - there didn’t seem to be any warnings. The bedrooms were comfortable if a little on the cold side. Storage was also a bit lacking - bedside drawers would be useful. It’s quite a trek to the loo from the bedrooms at the top of the stairs and there’s a step that will catch you out in the dark…. motion sensitive lights on the landing would be useful as would a loo in the shower room near those three bedrooms. We had a meal at Viva Italian restaurant in Matlock and it was phenomenal - would definitely recommend. Wellington fish bar was also fab and they delivered via Just Eat. The house could be even more amazing with a little attention to detail; no spare batteries or candles, no kitchen roll, no towels for the hot tub, or robes, a really old games console that doesn’t work in the “games room” and a few cobwebs here and there…. I appreciate it’s tough to keep a house like this at such a high level of quality, though, and we did have an amazing time!!

The property was amazing and suited our family perfectly for our belated Christmas get together. The age range of guests were from 7 months to 84 years old, 14 adults, 2 babies, and an excitable cockerpoo and whippet!! The property was very clean and it felt like home immediately. The facilities were great, snooker table, open space, living areas, the bedrooms everything really!! Man cave was a nice area although we didn't really make use of it. Andrew arranged the hot tub for us, which was again fabulous, most of us used it at the end of the day to relax in :) We could not have wished for a better house to stay in, and we will most certainly be back in the future. Andrew was the perfect host, with good communication, always quick to respond when I had questions in the run up to our stay. 10 out of 10!!

An excellent location for 18 adults and children for a weekend to celebrate a family occasion in November. Rooms very comfortable and plenty of space for all… basement games room occupied kids for hours. Hot tub was a great bonus. We did all our own catering and the facilities, utensils, crockery etc. were more than suitable for this, however a second dishwasher would have been great. Look forward to a return visit!

We had the most wonderful weekend at Highfield House as a surprise birthday celebration for my wife, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! The property is stunning and in a great location and was perfect for everyone. We were a group of 16, aged from 7 - 75 and Highfield House met everyone’s needs. There was plenty of space too! We also hired the hot tub which was great and highly recommended. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Highfield House in the future and fully intend to go back as soon as we can.

Went to celebrate my husbands 60th with family. The house is amazing everything you need is there. Lovely big bedrooms and the beds are so comfortable. We loved spending time in the large games room and the hot tub. Will definitely return and would definitely recommend this beautiful house.

After a year of lockdowns, it was great for all our family to get together again, and the house and location were perfect for us. The house was lovely and gave us plenty of space for our families ranging in age from 6 to 74. The views were wonderful, and the hot tub (separately booked) was great for relaxing after a long day walking or site-seeing.. The location was perfect for sightseeing the many attractive locations in Derbyshire, and the walk from the house in to town though steep, is not too daunting, (mind you, Matlock Bath can be a bit of a bottleneck in August, but it is very beautiful). Regarding admin, Andrew was very responsive and helpful from our first contact, and quickly organised replenishment of a few missing consumables while we were there. All in all we had an excellent time, with the highlight being a final meal for all 11 of us taken on the large outside table next to the house, on a beautiful warm summer's evening.

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at Highfield with family ranging from 2 years old to 75 years old plus an old black lab! It was a perfect weekend. The house caters for everyone with enough room for us all to eat together inside and out and a games room that kept the children occupied for hours. The house was immaculate when we arrived and the hosts had left a lovely welcome hamper, which was a very nice touch. All the beds were really comfortable and the showers excellent. The views form the terrace are beautiful and Matlock centre itself only a 15-20 minute walk down the hill. Top tip for those with kids, there is a small park at the top of the hill, turn left out of the property, if you need somewhere to run off some excess energy! We definitely hope to book Highfield again in the future.

It's a great place for a large group to stay with a snooker room and both inside and outside dining area. The owner was always on hand and the view is just incredible. It's up a hill so you can't walk to Matlock but it's extremely quick in the car and very quiet. Don't forget to order the hot tub!

Everything you need for a family holiday.. Fantastic views.!! fantastic facilities.!! fantastic location & fantastic house.!!

After having our April holiday to South Africa and our summer holidays to the USA and France cancelled due to COVID we found this gem 2 hours from home. We had an absolutely lovely week at Highfield. The house was amazing, perfect for our family, and the views breathtaking. It ticked every box for the adults, a 16yo and a 10yo. We also loved the location with so much to see and do within a close distance. Our 16yo son also managed to do the Matlock Top Sportive cycle route (64km, 1850 meter climb in 3hours 25min) from the house over the Dales which he loved, although it was quite challenging. We are so glad we saw in other reviews that we had to order the hot tub separately as it made for a perfect holiday. The host was incredibly helpful and very proactive. Many thanks for sharing your house with us. We hope this could become a regular October holiday for us.
