Nestled in the ancient, colourful Derbyshire town of Matlock, you’ll be ideally positioned to explore both the bustling town centre, and the Peak District National Park…
…that is, if you can tear yourselves away from these heavenly surroundings!
Everything you’ll need for a luxurious and comforting break is here; beautifully enhanced by original church features that include enormous stained-glass windows, wooden pews, and vaulted ceilings that offer plenty of sociable space.
There’s a stylish open-plan living area for your congregation to unwind in, with plenty of squishy seating, eye-catching modern art, and a TV to keep you entertained into the evening – just add a bottle of wine and some tasty snacks.
The sleek, well-equipped kitchenette is on hand for whipping up feasts worthy of the church elders, and there’s a comfy dining table to savour them around all together; flanked by arched windows that flood the space with natural light.
Head to the first floor to claim your favourite of two elegant and beautifully decorated double bedrooms, or freshen up in the stylish bathroom, complete with bath and shower over, and a generous stack of freshly-laundered towels.
