Beautiful Victorian house with stunning views of Matlock and the Derwent valley

Robertswood is a charming and imposing stone built country residence with three floors of Victorian elegance. Set upon Farley hillside with stunning South facing views across the Derwent Valley and surrounding picturesque Peak National Park.

0.8 miles or 1.29km from the centre of Matlock town with an amazing wealth of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Walk down and taxi back!!! For the family there is Hall Leys park and playground,
Sainsburys and McDonalds are also in the town.

Easy access from the house is Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House, Bakewell town and a wealth of walking/cycling trails to explore.

Robertswood is accessed via a keypad entry lock to which you will be given a unique door code prior to your stay.

We have 8 ensuite rooms.
Room 1 is a permanent twin,
Rooms 2 and 3 are superking,
Rooms 4 and 8 can be either twin or superking,
And finally Rooms 5,6 and 7 are standard doubles.

The dining room comfortably seats 16/18 people around the table. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and utensils to cater for large groups. Three ovens, two fridges and a large hob and microwave finish it perfectly.

The Lounge has three large leather sofa's. The bar is very traditional with seating around the outside complimented with two round tables and stools.

The Spa garden to the side of the property is available for hire separately if required. There is a 6 seat Jacuzzi hot tub, sauna, changing room, toilet and plunge shower. The cost is £450 for a three night stay, with £150 per day for added for longer stays.

Lovely stay

Had a lovely long weekend at Roberts wood. An ideal property for a family get together. Along with the lovely views, the house is well equipped and the bar area was a big hit too.

New Year Family break

Superb trip from start to finish. Marylyn the host was excellent from the moment we booked the trip until the minute we left the property. Nothing was too much trouble and the property was amazing and even better than the photos suggest. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great house with excellent facilities, amazing views in a great location.

Awesome house!

We booked Robertswood House so family could come together for my daughter’s wedding at a nearby hotel (a shout-out to Peaks Edge Hotel - they did a superb job for the big day!). We used 7 out of 8 bedrooms and couldn’t be happier with our stay. The bar in one of the ground floor rooms (think a small traditional Northern English pub)/hot tub/sauna were a great hit with family members of all ages. The house is actually better than described - awesome space, incredibly well fitted out and stocked with everything you need. The owners were nearby and very attentive, helpful and genuinely nice people - thank you to Marylyn and Dave!! If you need 8 bedrooms in the Matlock area, don’t think … just book here! I genuinely believe we will be back … even if the trip from upstate New York isn’t quick.
