A great place for our large family gathering. With space for everyone. Amazing views. Comfortable and warm. Huge dining table to eat and play games. The snooker table was a huge hit!
Excellent communication with the owner on everything we asked. We had beautiful weather during our stay and made use of all the facilities. The only thing I was told about was that the bedrooms could do with blackout blinds. Other than that would highly recommend the property to anyone
Super accommodation catering to a wide range of family ages. We had an absolutely wonderful time, loads of information beforehand, easy to access and a wonderful spot for loads of a activities. Highly recommended!
The property is well spread out so whilst away with family there are lots of places to spend sometime on your own if you want to. We stayed with your parents who are both 80 years old, and whilst they are mobile some of the steps within the property were quite high. The property has great views, is very well located and offers a lot
Amazing home - perfect retreat for large families and groups
We rented this home for three nights for two families (13 people in total). The views were as beautiful as described in the listing and make it a great place to relax and spend some quality time. The location is fantastic as a base for exploring the Peaks District and Derbyshire. The owner is a very prompt and helpful communicator. Thank you for a great stay!
Such beautiful views, offering a lovely relaxing place to share with family. Nearest pub (7 min walk - duke of Wellington) does excellent food. Fridge/freezer was plenty big enough for morrisons delivery. Really worth having the hot tub too.
to cope with the supermarkedelivery
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.
As five families with young children, Highfield House was perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable and spacious, with good kitchen facilities and wonderful views! The large dining room was fab for our big Thanksgiving meal and the snooker table was a bonus. Andrew is a great host - brilliant at communicating and was available if we needed anything. Canât wait to stay again!
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.
From start to finish this property does not disappoint. From a fantastic host where nothing is too much trouble to the stunning house itself. The property blew us away and the photos certainly don't do it justice. We had a fantastic time playing pool in the large garden dining room and the children had hours of fun in the games room. The house was spotless and there was care to detail in the decor and facilities. A welcome hamper with a box of chocolate eggs for an Easter egg hunt really was a wonderful extra surprise. Our family group ranged from age 1 to 90 years and the house was perfect for all. I cannot recommend this property enough.
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
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.
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!
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. Itâs furnished to the highest standards and has everything you could ever need. Great communication with the owner too - although they didnât 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 :)
Nicola & I passionately enjoy preparing Highfield with our team to welcome guests, endeavouring to provide the perfect clean and safe home from home relaxing retreat in a property that I am sure you will love - as we do!...
Built in 1867, we are the only the fifth owners of this magnificent house. The property has been used as a Furnished Holiday Let successfully since April 2012, and fully and extensively renovated and refurbished in July 2020, hosting hundreds of extremely happy guests/friends (including Heston Blumenthal) but still enjoy returning to Highfield for special family celebrations...
Highfield has the most amazing views over the Derwent Valley and the town of Matlock, each day brings something new and we have never tired of the changing seasons...and with the removal of a number of tress and hedges and the additional of a 90 sqmt decked area we've really opened up the view to showcase the area at its best!
