There is parking for up to four standard sized cars at the cottage, please be aware that the lane up to the cottage is quite steep and narrow. For those guests who prefer not to drive up the lane there is free on-street parking on the lower road which is just a one minute walk away from the cottage.

The location of the cottage and the natural terrain in Matlock Bath makes the property unsuitable for the less mobile. Please ask for further details if you have a particular question.
