Kate’s place was larger than the photos suggest. Beds and linen we’re comfortable and quality. Lots of windows to allow air to circulate and a fan was provided. The en-suite bathroom was larger than my small bedroom at home and there was alot of storage. She thoughtfully left chocolate, biscuits, fresh milk, tea, coff etc. there’s a great laundry room in the basement with a washer and dryer so fantastic for families. The only thing that some people might miss is a dishwasher but fine for my party.
Access is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems because of walking up steep steps to the entrance and inside to the apartment. However this was fine for us and there are a couple of pubs within a 5 minute walk. Also a local pizzeria is close by for takeaways and all sorts of eating places in town plus an excellent m & s food hall. Kate was extremely understanding when my group had an emergency and were delayed leaving in the last day.

Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean , fantastic location with beautiful views over Matlock. There was a welcome pack which we really appreciated.
The apartment is really well equipped with high quality decor and furnishings. Lovey bathrooms, great showers.
Kitchen is excellent with stunning views.
IT IIS UP a steep hill , if you walk from the town centre but taxis were easy.
There are some quite steep steps as noted in the description to get into the apartment.
Kate was very very helpful quick to respond to messages- even stupid questions.
Can’t recommend Kate or this apartment highly enough in a beautiful area

Lovely stay in Skylark View. Perfect base for exploring countryside on long walks and making the most of the fabulous coffee shops, in particular The Fig in Matlock Bath and The Sticky Fig in Darley Dale.
Accommodation did not disappoint and views were beautiful. Would definitely come back again.

We absolutely loved Skylark! Kate was incredibly helpful making sure we had everything we needed for our families requirements, even allowing us to check in a little earlier than stated in the listing and supplying some very tasty Easter treats. The flat was perfect with plenty of space and amazing views. Incredibly comfy beds and quiet surroundings allowed for a peaceful and restful few days away. It was spotlessly clean with all the utensils you could ask for, except a dishwasher 😉 but of course that wasn’t a huge issue. We loved discovering the history of the building and all the love and affection Mark and Kate have poured into it to turn it into something quite special. Location was perfect too with so much of the dales on the doorstep and views over the town, Matlock Bath and beyond. The lovely Dek next door was the perfect resource for local info and was on hand if we needed any help. Overall, the best way to have spent Easter and my 50th birthday! Thank you Kate and Mark.

We have stayed at Kates before and we love it here. The flat is lovely. We stayed in a lot more this time as it was cold so was lovely to cook and have some drinks in the flat. Had everything that we needed for a lovely time. We did of course pop to the pub three doors down that is lovely and welcoming!! :)

Anne
Great apartment, tastefully decorated, very spacious and well maintained. Perfect location for visiting Matlock and Peak District. Loads of room for a family of four. Hosts were very helpful.
Kathy
What a fabulous flat, with amazing views! Beautiful decor, which all looks brand new, super clean and very well equipped. Lovely, comfy beds and a quiet location. There was a guest upstairs for part of our stay but we didn’t hear a thing through our ceiling. It was really handy to have the use of the communal washer and dryer in the cellar (also very well set out, new and clean). The outdoor steps and indoor stairs of this tall building are quite steep and the well-maintained fire exit is reached by climbing through a double-opening window: no problem at all for us but this property would probably not suit someone with mobility needs. As a family of four (two young adult sons), we all loved it and had a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. There are all sorts of interesting little paths and lanes to explore, running between the various levels of terraced housing in this part of Matlock and so many places to look down over the valley and surrounding hills. A great location that we’d be glad to return to.
Sharon
Lovely apartment. Getting to the apartment from the roads nearby can be a little tricky as lots of cars parked on road but beautiful views and tidy and spacious.

Our stay at Skylark View was really enjoyable. The apartment was very clean, spacious and thoughtfully equipped with little extras. Lovely views even in the rain! It made a great base for our short break exploring the Peak District. Communication was great with Kate and Mark, it was lovely to meet you both. Thank you so much.

Sally
The flat was beautiful and so clean! It had everything we needed. We particularly appreciated having two bathrooms as there were four of us staying. Parking was easy and there was a secure place to store bikes. The view from the flat was spectacular. We liked the local pubs and there was a great open air swimming pool with water from a geothermal spring at the hotel in Matlock Bath. Great place for a holiday - we had a wonderful time.

Adrien
Great flat and fantastic view. We (couple) + our 1.5 year old child stayed for 4 nights.
The flat is modern, kitchen has everything needed to cook.
The view is breathtaking and the living space is large enough for a toddler to run around inside.
Self checkin was simple, place was very clean and quiet (although I think the flat on top of us was empty during our stay).
There are a washing machine and tumbler dryer in a shared utility room which is great for longer stays.
Note that the building is on top of the hill above Matlock which gives an amazing view but also means it might be tricky without a car (to carry heavy grocery bags etc).
There is free and convenient parking right in front of the building.
Loads of things to do and see in the area within 5-25 minutes driving.

Hannah
Had an amazing stay at Skylark View. Lovely host and easy check in/out. We were lucky enough to have good weather so walked everywhere - the town is just a 5-10 minute walk downhill, and Matlock Bath about half an hour. Beautiful scenery to enjoy and lots of restaurants and amenities. The apartment itself was perfect, very spacious and had everything you'd need. There were also some cookies , chocolate and milk in the fridge on arrival which were a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend!
Richard
Kates building is just as described. It's modern & very clean with everything you'll need for your stay. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Jessica
The apartment is great with stunning views! Perfect for a family trip away and Kate was able to provide travel cot, high chair, booster and childrens cutlery / plates which was really handy. DVDs, books and games were also available and a guide of local pubs and restaurants. Very easy check in and out with a key box and Kate was very quick to respond to any queries.

kylark View is a brilliant stay in Matlock, it was a great location in Matlock with shops close by, good parking, excellent cosy flat with lots of conviences thought of by Mark & Kate. We liked the welcome gifts and the welcome by Mark when we checked in explaining where everything was. Would love to stay again as the weather stopped is seeing all Matlocks treasures!
Anna
The apartment was beautiful and the perfect base to explore lovely Matlock.
Everything we needed for a great weekend was provided. The apartment is beautifully decorated, has dedicated parking right outside, and amazing views over the valley. Plus the lovely beds and peace and quiet guarantee a good nights sleep. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend in Matlock.
Thanks for everything Kate and Mark, we hope to be back again soon.

Swallow’s View is a lovely, light-filled apartment, which has everything needed for a few nights’ stay (or longer). The views were amazing and the furnishings were homely. Kate was very responsive and flexible when we had visitors for a couple of hours.
The only point of note for those less able-bodied is that the stairs are steep, as is the hill to get back from central Matlock.
That said, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend to others.

Rating, 5 stars
Very impressive building, beautifully renovated. Due to its elevation it was fun spotting it from other high points in the area. It does mean that there's a bit of a climb to the house and few flights of stairs to contend with but it is totally worth it. The flat really felt like home, very peaceful and the view is stunning. The place was spotless and had everything we needed, just had to bring our own shampoo which is not an issue. Kate and Mark are very pleasant and accommodating, especially when it came to parking as we had two cars. Location wise - Sainsbury's, train station and town centre are a short drive away, and there are a few good pubs and food places nearby. This place is a gem and we were sad to leave, would definitely recommend.

Had an absolutely amazing time at Kate’s place. The place was well done and very cosy. Kate and Mark had left clear instructions for everything including the places to visit. I met Kate on the day of departure and she was very friendly and helpful (as we thought she would!) I highly recommend this place.
Philip
The property is newly refurbished so it is clean, comfortable, and cozy, and everything works. The host makes all the difference and Kate has made extra effort to make guests feel at home. There is good wifi, nice kitchen, washing & drying facilities, games, and a hi-tech TV. There is dedicated parking in a private drive and Kate and Mark came out to help when we arrived. The seasonal decorations were a nice touch. This property and its hosts exceeded our expectations and we will definitely book again!
Jenny
Thanks Kate & Mark for a lovely long weekend in your beautiful warm and cosy appartment. Everything was there that we needed and more. The views are amazing and we even had a little dusting of snow which just added to the magic of this time of year and the location. We hope to come back when next in this part of England, thanks again for everything.
Bev
Perfect in every way!

We’ve just returned from our 2nd stay with Kate & Mark.
I cannot find fault with any of the accommodation and the warmth and friendly manner of our hosts is rare these days. If you know Matlock or are visiting for the first time;I would highly recommend a stay here in one of their 3 brilliantly maintained properties. The story behind the property and their own journey since acquiring it is inspiring and their hard work shows in every last detail. It encapsulates everything that is special about this area and the views are spectacular. Worth every penny.
Claire

Beautiful apartment with stunning views. Welcome pack of milk, tea and coffee plus treats was lovely. Comfortable lounge and beds. Everything spotless. A steep climb from town, cheated and drove. Will recommend to friends and family.

Communication is very smooth and prompt. The location is nearly on the top of Matlock and so driving upward was a challenge for me. There is a set of binocular to view Matlock Bath., very thoughtful. We have been to Matlock Bath before and felt excited to recognise some landmarks from different perspective. Close to everywhere in Peak District. I like the wood sofa in living room. Kitchen has essentials we need. The en suite is big and clean. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoy views further away and quiet stay.
Mary
Stunning views from this beautifully renovated apartment. Well equipped (no dishwasher, though!) and thoughtfully laid out. Hosts are helpful and communication was excellent. Dedicated parking spot was an extra plus! Great location for your Peak District adventures.
Anriette
Absolutely beyond exceptional! Off course the view and the location is by far the best any person could wish for, but the lovely unit with absolutely everything you could want was such a bonus! Beautiful lay-out and super comfortable, very well equipped, lots of luxuries. Our holiday could not have been better! Thank you Kate for all the very clear communication and thoughtfulness!

Swallow View is a lovely apartment and Kate and Mark are attentive and helpful hosts, but without intruding. The place is very nicely furnished and well equipped, particularly the kitchen, and we were greeted with milk in the fridge and a welcome pack with a few goodies (chocolate and cookies).
The apartment has stunning views across Matlock to High Tor and the Heights of Abraham and is easy walking distance of the town centre (as long as you don't mind a bit of a hill). We were only there for a couple of nights for a family event, but it would make a superb base for a longer holiday exploring the Peak District.
Definitely one to recommend.

My fourth visit and I still highly recommend. The location is great, very close to one The Thorn Tree for a decent pint or two. Check-in was very easy and parking was ample. The property is on the top floor and so expect some stairs - a bit steep but nothing savage. The apartment was spotless. The bed was super comfortable. Nice touches with milk/coffee/tea/biscuits/bottled water. Bathroom was clean with a nice, hot shower. As this is a loft apartment, the ceiling was a little low but didn't bother me at 6ft1 - although I only just about fit in the shower. It also gets hot, but it has openable windows on both sides so you can get a good draught going during the day to mitigate this. As before, I will definitely stay again.

Prior to arriving, all the details came through from Kate, all clear and perfect.
We arrived earlier than check in, but was ok to park up.
We got the key from the box, entered the beautiful hall, and up to the top floor.
We opened the door, the first thing we noticed was the beautiful fresh aroma, it was so fresh and clean. The sun was flooding through the windows. The place was immaculately clean.
Everything we could have needed and more. The bed was lovely comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, shower was Hot and powerful, bright white fluffy towels.
The Views are truely stunning. Day and Night its like a forever changing picture that you seem to see something different everytime you look. Set of binoculars are great touch!
You can really see how this host goes the extra mile and more. Biscuits, tea, coffee, milk in fridge, shower gel, honestly it was truely all amazing. Thank you

A beautiful apartment for 2. The views are truly amazing. Kate is an amazing host, communication was excellent from start to finish. Dedicated parking space, so never a worry about getting parked. The apartment is in the attic, so you need to be physically able to manage several flights of stairs.
Lovely touches in Kate providing tea, coffee, milk, sugar, biscuits and chocolates.
Brilliant shower, very powerful. Apartment was very cosy but also able to open the windows if got a bit warm. Bed was very comfortable. Lots of storage and drawers for clothes.
Lovely pub a very short walk from the apartment, does food but cannot reserve a table.
A very relaxing and beautifully designed and laid out place for 2. Would totally recommend to anyone wanting to visit Matlock and the surrounding areas.

We stayed in Birds Nest in Sept22. We have passed through Matlock many times, but never taken the opportunity to stop and explore properly. We had a great 5 night stay and explored the local area using the train or our motorbikes. The apartment was beautiful with everything we needed and stunning views from the lounge area. The access to the garage was perfect for us on those days we did not use our motorbikes.
Would definitely return again.

Hugh
After several years of using Airbnb, I can confidently say that this was the best place I've stayed in. The view is simply gorgeous, the decor although neutral feels very homey in the evenings, and the information provided about local restaurants and activity recommendations was excellent. With Matlock centre only a 5 minute walk and so many places nearby in the peak district, food and evenings were really straightforward. I would definitely stay again in the future but I still feel this is very much a long weekend stay. If you are looking to spend more time, there were not substantial enough self catering facilities.

Fantastic property in a great location for a base to explore the local area. Views from the Birds Nest apartment are amazing. Would definitely recommend a stay 😃
Megan
Beautiful view, clean space and convenient location.
Katy
This is a lovely small apartment, which was very comfortable, and with fantastic views! We had a great weekend there. Kate was very easy to communicate with, and the apartment was well-appointed. I can definitely recommend!
Peter
Immaculate apartment with superb views. Created with high spec. Everything as new and spotlessly clean. A good climb up the stairs (mentioned only to warn those with stair use issues). I’m 6’1” and I’m probably as tall as you can be to use the apartment. Loved the visit and everything about it. So light , airy and well designed.
Cecilia
Lovely, clean flat with a gorgeous view and great amenities!
Katherine

Lovely views
Charmain
Kate’s place was simply amazing! The view, the location, the cleanliness, everything was simply lovely.
Mark
Lovely little place and super comfy. Lovely little pub nearby and fairly close to the town. Perfect for a weekend getaway.
Jim
An incredible little romantic getaway. The nearby pizza place, D'alessandro's, is exceptional! The view from the flat is amazing, but be prepared to climb a big hill up to the building and then a lot of stairs up to the top floor! Very clean and nicely furnished inside :)
Olivia
We came to the birds nest for a weekend away for my partners birthday. The birds nest was cosy, clean and a relaxing place to be. The location was spot on as well! I highly recommend coming here! Thank you again for having us.
Kindest regards,
Olivia and Georges
Kate
A lovely comfortable & clean little apartment with great views. Everything you could possibly need is provided & lots of extra little thoughtful touches. Will definitely stay here again.
Caroline
It was a wonderful stay with Kate and Mark, lovely and warm welcome from our hosts. A lovely apartment with everything you needed, my partner is 6ft and banged his head a couple of times being in the eaves of the house but none the less the views and comfort of the room in general more than made up for that (says the 5”3 girlfriend who didn’t bang her head once…).
We would both highly recommend staying here, great location set at the top of a hill so you can take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings as well as being close to Bakewell and the heart of Matlock town centre!
Paul
Fantastic view, lovely place.
2nd stay and will come back again
Rachel
Kate and Mark were so friendly, lovely little touches in the room and a gem of a place was a perfect valentines get away. The view from the room was amazing

The birds nest was beautiful, the host were lovely and very accommodating.

Savannah
Kate and Mark are so lovely and welcoming from the minute of your stay. The milk on the fridge and the binoculars were a lovely touch!
Really recommend High Tor as a local walk around the area that takes you to Matlock Bath.
