Stowe Cottage in 4 New Road Middleton By Wirksworth, Matlock, DE4 4NA

About Stowe Cottage

Stowe Cottage is a snug stone hideaway in Middleton-by-Wirksworth, right in the heart of the Peak District. This 4-star rated retreat offers complete relaxation with its private hot tub and wood burner for those chilly evenings. Perfect for couples who want to escape the daily grind without sacrificing modern comforts.

The Peak District location puts you in prime position for outdoor adventures. Hike the High Peak Trail or spend a day at Carsington Water where you can kayak, cycle, sail or fish. Five pubs within walking distance mean you won't go thirsty after a day exploring. And yes, the hot tub awaits your return - though some guests note it's visible from the nearby path (skinny dipping not advised unless you're an exhibitionist).

The accommodation features an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner downstairs with all essentials including a dishwasher and washing machine. Upstairs you'll find a spacious bedroom with a super-king-size bed that previous guests rave about for comfort. The modern shower room is conveniently located on the ground floor.

Local attractions include Wirksworth (1 mile, 5 minutes) with its quirky shops and cafes, Black Rocks for climbing (1.5 miles, 7 minutes), Carsington Water for watersports (3 miles, 10 minutes) and Matlock Bath (4 miles, 15 minutes) with its cable car at Heights of Abraham offering spectacular views.

Stowe Cottage is ideal for couples seeking a romantic break with outdoor activities on the doorstep. The steep stone staircase adds character but isn't suitable for those with mobility issues. Dog lovers rejoice - up to five pets are welcome!

Stowe Cottage Reviews

Maggie

Good location in a quiet village. The hot tub was lovely. The bathroom was good with a lovely large hot shower. The bedroom was big with a very comfortable bed. The stairs are concrete and steep but we knew that anyway so were prepared for that. The kitchen was fitted with the basics. However I couldn't call the cottage cosy as the small living rooRead morem area needs new furniture and maybe some subtle lighting. A supply of logs and instructions for the log fire would be handy. Hide

Richard

We had the perfect weekend break in this lovely cottage. The accommodation was perfect for the two of us, and the location was beautiful. The only criticism is the oven was too dirty to use and there is no front gate, the hot tub is on show to the main road.

Kevin

The staircase is not suitable for people with limited mobility the hot tub lid very difficult to get on and off .the oven was dirty and the sofa uncomfortable. Everything else was fine

Craig

The cottage was lovely and cosy. The hot tub was great. The only real issue we had was parking.The Nelson's Arms was very welcoming even with our dogs. Would recommend the cottage.

Susan

Lovely place really nice people but fine a different cottage if you have dog or kids stairs are dangerous..... Cottage very dark downstairs

Steven

Great location to visit all the delights of the Peaks. Very comfortable bed and great shower. However advertised as dog friendly. It is not. No outside space for dogs to do their business. Have to walk a little way for nearest grass area. Road can be very busy as well. Nil WiFi downstairs and Smart TV isnt.

Gary

Perfect quiet retreat Short 15 quid taxi to Matlock which included taking the dog so no car or car parking to worry about

Carol

We had a lovely break in this gorgeous cottage the hot tub just makes it even more special. Clean comfortable and cosy. We've all ready recommend to our family and friends. We will be back in the summer to make the most of the many walks that are around. Thanks Carol & Kieran.

james

Lovely cottage, lovely comfy bed and the hottub was just what the doctor ordered, thank you for letting us stay here; definitely recommended

Liza Louise

We had a wonderful stay at Stowe cottage and we would highly recomend it if visiting the area. Complete with a hot tub, we found it peaceful and relaxing, the bed was comfy and we slept well for two nights. The local takeway (Habibs) were quick to delvier and food was tasty. We met with many friendly locals and enjoyed drinks at the two village pubRead mores. Situated just outside of Wirksworth and Matlock Bath, this cottage made the perfect base camp to head out for some lovely days out. Hide

Deborah

Well presented cottage in a great location for walks in the Derbyshire Dales. Great local pub for food. Lovely relaxing hot tub. Super king size bed very comfortable. The bedroom is spacious with a lovely chandelier. Would recommend as we really enjoyed our 5 night stay

Sarah

We had a really nice stay . Hot tub was amazing and made the holiday. I didnt feel over looked despite it being at the front of the property. The bedroom was beautiful and the bed was THE most comfiest ! Bathroom very nice Maybe struggled without a coffee table or foot stool on an evening but overall a perfect holiday Thankyou Dan

Wendy

A fabulous cottage, update to a high standard for both couples and single people, with or without dogs.

Francis

Don't expect use of the hot tub on the day of arrival as it was stone cold when I arrived.I paid for a full weekend and only managed to use it on two evenings. Having been in touch with the owner himself and holiday cottages I was basically told there's nothing they can do,I asked for a nights refund and have been refused any kind of goodwill gestuRead morere. Book this property at your own risk. I will not use this company again or recommend it to anyone I know. Hide

Caroline

Beautiful cottage, immaculate and well equipped. A bed to die for , so comfy and absolutely huge. Hot tub is fabulous. Lovely quiet village with a great pub , The Rising Sun doing nice food. Highly recommend for a nice little break. We will be back

Steve

Great little cottage in a lovely Derbyshire village

Angela

Lovely clean cosy cottage. Bed super comfy. Rainfall shower was lovely & hot with under floor heating. Washing machine if needed.Was super snug with 3 pointer type dogs but they just crashed in front of the wood burner after a long walk. Hot tub awesome.Nearest piece of grass & doggy bin go out of cottage to right across rd outside Nelson pub.For wRead morealks go right out of cottage then next right up to top, see track. Also down the rd to rising sun,walk across rd in front of pub up lane turn left Hide

Deborah

The cottage was very clean. We went in December and there were some extra nice touches for the season including a Christmas tree in the bedroom which was lovely. The cottage suited our two night stay. The garden is at the front of the property but the hot tub is screened off from the road. The road was very quiet anyway and we had no problem with tRead moreraffic noise. We had a lovely stay. We had two dogs with us who sleep in crates which worked okay but didnt leave a lot of space. Hide

Lucie

We had a lovely weekend, despite the snow! The cottage is ideal for a couple, the location is fab too.

Hannah

The cottage itself is cosy and charming but the location is awful. No parking, and situated on a busy road with cars speeding up and down; which can be heard from inside. Not the ideal relaxing getaway we had hoped for. Also neighbours either side. No real privacy for the hot tub either; there's a fence and small iron gate. We booked for 3 nights, Read moreleft after 2. Hide

Sally

Lovely cottage and facilities, great location. From the photos it looks like the garden is secluded. But with the low wrought iron gate it is actually exposed. Also, didnt feel 100% comfortable at letting dogs out without being in the patio area with them, as catch on gate easily opened if they jumped at it! Which they would do if saw someone or heRead moreard another dog. Hide

Linda

Lovely cosy cottage, the hot tub made it for us especially after a day of walking. Great shower and comfortable bed. However the cottage sits directly on a main busy noisy road which wasnt clear when we booked. We didnt use the oven whilst there either as it was dirty and in need of a clean. I wouldnt recommend this cottage as dog friendly due to tRead morehe closeness to the road, steep stone steps to go upstairs and the limited outdoor space. Hide

Jemma

Its a lovley cottage but I dont think personally its good if you have dogs

Sally-Ann

Great cottage well located to explore the Peaks and fab hot tub. Lovely bright spacious bedroom and well equipped kitchen. Great base for a few nights stay.

Annette

A lovely location with easy access to the Middleton moors so lovely for dog walking. Tourist attractions such as the miniature railway and Middleton Top pump house were also in walking distance. Good bus route to Cromford and Wirksworth. Two welcoming pubs in the village and the Rising Sun offered a great homely menu. Having the hot tub was amazing after long walks each day. The bedroom was lovely - very comfortable and so quiet! Best sleeps in ages.

Alison

A beautiful, cosy and welcoming cottage in an excellent location for exploring the Peak District. An incredibly comfortable and cosy bed, a well equipped kitchen and the hot tub was very welcome of an evening (although the cover was a bit tricky to get on and off.) We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend to others.

Neil

Cottage is well located for walking. Hot tub is great after a days walking. Bedroom is roomy and bed really comfy. Shower room is very nice. For our stay we found that the oven was filthy and we were not happy to use it. Cottage windows were very draft.

Christopher

A lovely cosy cottage, my wife and I had a lovely relaxing stay here, I would recommend and I would return.A good location for exploring all that the beautiful Derbyshire Dales and Peak District has too offer.

Simon

New year stay. Lovely cottage in quiet village. Good facilities, washing machine & dishwasher included. Log burner was lovely for the cold nights. Good size towels provided. Hot tub lovely, it is at the front of the property & with a low gate so you may feel exposed (we didnt see anyone). Road can be busy. Great location for exploring local towns j ust 15-20 mins to Bakewell or Matlock. Steep curved staircase to be mindful of when going downstairs to the bathroom at night. We would return

Chris

A beautiful place in a beautiful location. We loved our time there, would highly recommend.

Gaynor

Beautiful little cottage in a great location, very clean with very comfortable bed & pillows. Well equipped, & hot tub was the icing on the cake!! Extremely happy with everything & had a fabulous time, would recommend to anyone & will be coming back.

We had an amazing holiday, small but cozy. Well equipped

Lisa

Hot tub nice selling feature but needs to be more private as situated at front of cottage with small fence on a busy road.
