Host & Stay | Rock End — Guest Reviews

Lovely place, perfect for family weekend away.

Lovely host. Had a wonderful weekend with my family. Very cosy with the log fire and beds very comfortable. Beautiful house and so lovely we could bring our little doggy

A super lovely home. Extremely well kept & pristine clean. We were immediately impressed. I particularly loved the attention to detail in the decor. The kitchen is very well equipped & spacious. We had an extremely relaxing & enjoyable weekend at Rock End. Cosy & comfortable. The indoor fire was particularly high on our list of wants & was centre to family games night. It is at the top of an extremely long & steep hill so walking to the village was a no go for me but the drive is literally only a minute with a huge car park. Would highly recommend.

We had the most lovely stay at this house. There was 4 adults & 3 children aged 2,3&4 The house was super clean, bedrooms were a decent size! One en suite, Comfy beds, one tv in one room & the most beautiful bathroom! Taxis & Ubers around for any journeys out if needed! The stairs are always scary no matter where you are with young kids so we just kept all doors shut when kids were either in the lounge or upstairs we’d lock them in with us, maybe a stair gate for people to put up if coming with kids may be a good idea! Overall was just a super cosy staycation with family & friends, worth the price! Thanks again would happily come back if we ever went back to visit our friends in chesterfield! 10/10 recommendations!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Stunning home! My son remarked “I wish we lived here” and I agree. Driveway while tricky is very doable. Steep stairs so we left our luggage in the dining room for our short stay. Beautiful finishing touches everywhere in the home. Loved the shower too. Beautiful views from the home. Can not fault our stay here. 5 stars without a doubt

Lovely house with everything you need perfect for non pensioners. Really lovely period property with a quirky decor. New kitchen and bathrooms that had all you need. Only issues we had were with the steps to the property as they are a bit steep and uneven for those with knee issues and my parents are in their 70's. The parking at the back is also very difficult especially trying to turn around in a very tight space. It was a long walk down or up very long hills to town which an older perosn would struggle so easier to drive. Great for myself and I would say recommend for under pension age adults.

Really enjoyed our stay, ourselves and our 4 children loved the house. Positive: The house was beautiful and perfect location Negative: No downstairs toilet

We had a lovely easter weekend at Rock End! It is a stunning property with lots of lovely furniture and feature’s. Our children loved the Easter decorations and treats left for them which was a lovely extra touch. Location was great for everything we wanted to do. It’s a steep walk up to the property from Matlock centre but we didn’t mind that. We would definitely return.

Lovely family break in Matlock Positive: The property was even better than the photos! Beautifully decorated with comfortable bedrooms and cozy shared spaces.

This is a beautiful spacious house, perfect to relax in after a day exploring or walking. The wood burner is wonderful to have but the house is very warm and easy to heat. Comfortable beds and beautifully decorated and furnished throughout. The hill back up from town is a killer but good if you are trying to stay fit. We managed it perfectly well but you can always get an inexpensive Uber up there if you are struggling. There are pubs very close that don't involve walking all the way down the hill into the centre of Matlock. We had a great stay and would highly recommend the property.

Lovely house and beautifully decorated. Had a lovely walk to Lumbsdale Falls one day. Thanks you for our stay.

Great house close to town and lovely country walks.

Fab centre for exploring the Peaks We loved staying in Charlie’s property. It was very clean and well maintained and was a gem. Parking was tricky round the back but plenty of on street parking was available. A few trips down the hill into town certainly built the glutes on the return up the hill! Highly recommend Stones restaurant and Sourdough Dave’s bakery for bread in the morning. Matlock is a lovely town and well positioned for walking (Dovedale, Edale, etc all within 30mins) or visiting Bakewell or Chatsworth House.Perfect house for a perfect trip! Thanks Charlie!

We stayed in this property over Christmas, and it was fantastic! Homely, spacious and it contained everything you needed. I'd read the revews about the hill getting into Matlock, which are totally accurate- it's VERY steep, and not something we attempted to walk, so we got dog friendly taxis to take us into Matlock on Christmas Eve. I'd also read the reviews about Parking- we took only 1 car, and yes the space is tight, but we had a huge car to park, which luckily my husband took the reigns with. I would say the road parking for us wasn't an option as there wasnt any available spaces, but it may have been the time of year with people being at home. When we arrived, there were things already in the property, which I thought would be useful to include in the review as we ended up taking some of these with us- Toilet roll (only a coupe of rolls/ toilet)/ Kitchen roll/ Foil Clingfilm/ Dishwasher tablets/ Bin bags/ Cloths/ Tea towel/ Tea & Coffee. We loved it so much we booked for next year

A lovely home, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Comfortable, spacious and ideally located. A fab welcome pack of wine, milk & biscuits plus the bonus of beautiful Christmas decorations!

Had a lovely stay here for a weekend away with family. The house is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice and we were all in awe when we walked through the door! Having the fireplace available in winter was a nice touch and definitely helped us dry off after walking through some typical british weather! The house had also been decorated for Christmas including a big Christmas tree which was amazing and unexpected! Lovely bottle of wine and biscuits upon arrival which was very generous. Milk was also provided so we could all have a nice cup of tea straight away! The location is up a steep hill from town, but definitely walkable! The website description does tell you all you need to know before booking and the communication from the host was great.

My friends and I have just returned from our stay and we had a lovely weekend away. The house was spotless, the kitchen is superb and main bathroom spacious with an excellent shower. We could walk into Matlock (big hill when you come back though!), beautiful views and a quiet street. Comfortable beds and pillows. However, the absolute gem on a rainy Saturday was the log burner for our cosy afternoon!

What a beautiful home! Perfect for our little getaway with friends. Felt like home from home with lovely furnishings, kitchen and bathrooms. Only very slight criticism would be the parking. Very tight for a big car. But certainly not a negative. Would 💯 recommend yr stunning holiday home. Thank you

I stayed here with a group of 5 friends, It is a beautiful accommodation, Clean and comfortable . The kitchen is well equipped and the whole house has a modern, cosy feel about it. We enjoyed the our meals each night in the lovely dinning area. The Bedding was good quality and the beds very comfortable, we all slept well. Excellent location to explore Matlock, Matlock Bath, Bakewell, Chatsworth house and the South of the Peak District. Very friendly and attentive host ,who were quick to solve any issues. There was ample parking spaces on the road infront of the house, for our 2 cars . I would definitely stay there again.

Very high spec. Nice touches, such as bottle of wine and flowers. Lots of tvs! Also an Alexa. If you don’t fancy walking Positive: Well appointed. Spacious. Good views from upstairs. Negative: Due to location ,difficult to park if more than one vehicle. One space reserved.

Rock House was just beautiful - such high quality throughout, very high spec, we felt very spoilt! Beautiful big light rooms, comfortable beds, super clean throughout, very well laid out, excellent heating system and beautiful bathroom and en suite, high quality bed linen and very comfortable beds - everything we needed was provided including a bottle of milk, a welcome bottle of wine and the fresh flowers! Very quiet location. House is a little out of town and at the top of a steep hill but this didn't bother us as walking down was easy and plenty of taxis available at the local taxi rank to take us back up for just £4, so well worth it. The Wellington Pub just up from the house was warm, friendly and welcoming, superb meals and excellent prices. We had 2 cars - one parked near the house on the road at the front, the rear parking spot is a little tricky to get in and out of but we managed. Host and Stay were fast to answer any queries and checking in and out very easy.

Well kept, spacious, well equipped house with lovely views, comfortable accommodation and dog friendly.

Check in process and information was great. The house was lovely and a good size for 5 adults and a dog.It was good to have allocated parking for 1 car (although this was tricky) and we had no trouble parking another on the streetOverall a good house in a good location

Such a Beautiful & well equipped house. Beds were super comfy and the house was really lovely. There are great bars very near by and a array of restaurants in the town just down hill all walkable. We were on a hiking weekend and the trials literally go past the house. Totally recommend Matlock and the surrounding areas.

This house was lovely and cosy and was great for our long weekend away

Stunning place, beautiful local villages including bakewell, the host was great to communicate with and the property had everything you need for a group stay.

Nice views, long walk from shops and town Positive: The house was very well furnished and comfortable to stay in, and there were some good views from the upper rooms. Parking was available, although a large vehicle would struggle. Negative: Steps at front and rear were quite steep and narrow, and would be problematic for people with mobility issues, as would the steep walk down to and up from the town.

We had a great stay. The house is beautiful and spacious, with lovely views. Hosts were extremely communicative and friendly. Would happily visit again.

Very good

Comfortable exceptionally clean , close to Matlock, bit of a walk up the hill but well worth it Positive: Fabulous period property with a modern look with great facilities Negative: Nothing

We were welcomed with flowers and essential food hospitality items. We loved the modern kitchen which contrasted to an older but pleasant features in the rest of the house. All the rooms were a generous size. As my wife and myself are octogenarians so we found leaving the property down the stone steps from the front door quite challenging. We were glad of the assistance of our two family guests. But it was still a lovely property in a great location.

A very lovely and relaxing weekend. Positive: Lots of space for the amount you pay and very homey. Negative: Getting up and down from the town centre is a real hassle.

Fijn verblijf; mooi huis. Goede communicatie met de tussenpartij. Ik zou hier zeker terugkomen voor een tripje naar Matlock

Beautiful and very well equiped house in Matlock. Good experience despite Host&Stay lack of help. Positive: The house is really very confortable, well furnished and with all needed equipment. It is quiet and has a lot of light. It is very clean and well organized. It is well located next to Matlock city center. The area (Chatsworth, Peak Park, Bakewell) is really worth the stay. Negative: Normal check in is 4 pm and normal check out is 10 am which is rather late for checkin and early for checkout compared to usual times. We requested several weeks in advance to be allowed to check in a little earlier because we needed to prepare for a ceremony that was scheduled to start at 4:30 pm in Chatsworth. Despite my requesting this several times, the Host&Stay team did not make any effort to make it possible. This was really disappointing.

A really lovely and comfortable property to stay in. Positive: Lovely house, very comfortable. Plenty of crockery, glasses etc. Very clean, a well loved property. Negative: The parking at the back of the property was rather challenging. The walk up the hill from the town was quite hard.

Lovely accommodation, clean and comfortable Positive: Clean,comfortable and well placed. Negative: Nothing

The house is beautifully decorated and furnished and all fixtures and fittings feel high quality. The space is bright and airy but also cosy. Matlock town and Bakewell are both nearby as well as Chatsworth House. I would definitely stay again.

The house was beautifully furnished and decorated. Comfortable beds, nicely equipped kitchen and clean bathrooms. Milk in the fridge is always a lovely welcome, so you can put the kettle on after travelling. Yes, the parking space is quite tight and turning around even more so but we always found parking on the street outside the front. I would recommend parking out front because that is where the lock box is. There are quite a few uneven steps to the front and open metal stairs at the back, to access the property. Being at the very top of a steep hill means lovely views of the surroundings. We loved our stay and would stay again.

The house was stunning in every respect.

As described, lovely accommodation, comfortable clean and well equipped. Parking a bit tight depending on the size of your car. As previous reviews, it is at the top of a very steep hill so be prepared … upside is there’s a lovely ale house to rest at just over half way up 😁

We are 4 adult Friends who have just stayed from Monday to Friday, like home from home. Took 2 cars but recomend only 1 , as parking out front busy/ unavailable, very busy road. Parking space outback tight but doable !

This was a lovely place to stay in terms of the house and the amenities. The one drawback is that the parking situation is quite tricky (very tight lane and space available at the back of the house), and a very busy road to try to navigate at the front. This just makes loading/unloading tricky, but not impossible.

Really enjoyed our stay!

Exceeded out expectations! Positive: We have a fantastic mid-week stay from start to finish. The house is absolutely beautiful, somehow better than the photos! The property was immaculate and filled with essentials from glassware to utensils and a bonus large air fryer which we found useful. Super comfortable beds and the attention to detail was impressive throughout the house, fresh flowers, prosecco and milk on arrival. Each room had a wonderful selection of curated items that made our stay feel even more luxurious, we will definitely be coming back! Negative: No complaints!

We had a lovely stay, a great place for groups, it was nice to make food, play games and chill by the fire. Good location for walking trips and access to the town.

Gorgeous property with stunning views. Really clean and a nice location up the hill with some nice walks starting close by. Instructions and communication was very clear

Would definitely recommend a stay at Rock end wish we had stayed longer. Very clean and spacious home with a short drive to lots of Great places 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great property, we had a fantastic Easter thank you Positive: Lovely original features, well equipt Negative: No frying pan was the only issue encountered

We had a lovely stay here whilst we were in the area for a wedding. The house was stunning & was exactly what we needed. Thank you

Beautiful, well equipped property. Good location for exploring Derbyshire. Very much enjoyed our visit to The Newsroom!!

Pleasant 2 night stay , lovely property . Positive: Good size , very clean , great layout ,

Great place to stay, would happily return.

Great spacious and very comfortable house. Beautiful kitchen, dining and living room. Lots to do within 30 mins drive of Matlock. Countryside, villages and towns really interesting and picturesque. Fab cinema in Wirksworth. The house is at the top of very steep hills and only walkable to those really fit, so you do really need a car. Lovely holiday- thank you

Great house, lovely period features and furniture and some nice touches on arrival with logs and fire ready to go which was very welcome indeed. Cleaned and great beds and rooms and fab bathroom too. Picture on website showed stone outside area but this is linked to and open road which we thought was possible enclosed, apart from that super house.

Very enjoyable despite the weather. Positive: Very nice interior design. Well appointed with quality items. Comfortable, warm surroundings. Great views. Negative: Parking is a bit of a challenge. Would have been nice to have kinderling and fire lighters for the lounge wood burner.

Absolutely beautiful home, exactly as listed. Lovely location and short drive to all local destinations. We had a wonderful stay, thanks again!

Fantastic accommodation Positive: It was fantastic. The accommodation was beautiful with lots of extras. The hosts go over and above. There is nothing that you need and is so comfortable. I didn't want to leave. Negative: Nothing to dislike

Once we understood the heating, with a little help from our hosts, it couldn’t have been better. Very comfortable, 10 out of 10.

Fab property ❤️

Lovely place to stay, very cosy, we had a really nice time! The house is very clean and warm with lots of home comforts!

Comfy, good location at the top of a hill Positive: Fully equipped Victorian style and very clean. Beautiful bathroom and kitchen Negative: No outside space

Positive: Absolutely stunning property well furnished and everything you could possibly need. Immaculately clean and the hosts left a lovely welcome gift of milk Prosecco, crisps and flowers. Would definitely stay again

Omg. What a beautiful house. Everything you need. Spotlessly clean. Very busy road out front. And parking is better on Road side than back of house. Small car would be ok round the back. Only down side. Very very steep hill to walk down. And definitely would not want to walk up it. There is a lovely pub just along from the house. Matlock lovely town

Great property, awful customer service Positive: Great location for vehicular travel around the locality. Very nicely appointed property. Peaceful part of Matlock, and a short walk to a nice little pub. Negative: Customer service is awful. Duplicate charges made without authorisation and not (yet) paid back despite numerous promises. No way of contacting them directly. Significantly tarnished our view of the property Single parking space to rear of property is helpful, but not easy to access in a large vehicle.

A Hidden Gem Positive: A beautiful house set about half a mile from the town centre at the top of a very steep hill, beware not for the faint hearted! The house is furnished to perfection with lovely finishing touches and everything we could need for our stay. We had a very comfortable stay and will most certainly return. Negative: There is one parking space to the rear of the property which is reasonably easy to access but in my experience a nightmare to get out of. Next time I think I'll stick to parking on the road outside the property which didn't appear to be a problem.

Beautiful house inside and out , felt like home from the minute you walk through the door . Lovely welcoming feeling with special touches fresh milk , wine , snacks and flowers . I would highly recommend this property. Definitely the best Airbnb we have stayed in . Best wishes from The Elt’s

Lovely place to stay and very good hosts. Thank you so much

Beautiful homely house beds super comfortable and hosts had left us wine and milk Positive: It was stunning and very comfortable Negative: Nothing to dislike

A beautiful house located approx 1 mile away from Matlock Town Centre. The house had everything we needed, and more. Host & Stay were great with communications and responding times. Would recommend Stones for somewhere nice to eat!

perfect Positive: Amazing house with everything you need Negative: nothing

Place exactly as described. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed for a two night stay. Would certainly stay again.

Lovely place, gorgeous views, the property is a lot more spacious in person, the pictures really don’t do it justice. Great price for the location- it’s very close to many walking trails and the Matlock city centre is less than a 5 minute drive from the house.

Beautiful house with lovely features. Positive: The property was fabulous. It felt like a home, lovely decor, comfy beds, plenty of space and parking on the doorstep. There were flowers, biscuits, milk and prosecco in the fridge on arrival which was a lovely touch. There was everything that you needed if you wanted to stay in and cook too. We loved staying here and would definitely return in the near future.

This is a beautifully put together house and it was immaculately clean throughout. Check-in was no problem and the location was great. If you are not a good walker, you might struggle with the trudge up the steep hill from Matlock to the house: we decided it meant the cheese and wine was well earned!! There is some confusion in the listing about the bedrooms: B1 is listed as having a king size bed: the picture is of the smallest room which has a small double. The other two rooms have regular-sized doubles - there is no king bed (in case that is a deal breaker for anyone).We enjoyed the welcome pack of white wine, cookies and flowers - a lovely touch. Communication with the letting company was a bit patchy in places: I asked about coffee facilities and was told it was just a kettle: in fact there was a cafetiere. I asked if there was an ice cube tray - did not get a reply to this. Finally, there was no shampoo or shower gel provided despite these being listed - the agency insisted they had been provided. These little oversights did not mar a wonderful stay in a beautiful, tranquil and well-equipped home. Thank you.

Wonderful place. One of the best Iv ever stayed at. Highly recommended

Really nice house to stay in, clean, tidy and very spacious. Location is good for exploring although the road can be busy at times. There is a parking space at the back, but if there’s more than one car I suggest parking on the road behind the house, rather than the main road. Very enjoyable stay and the hosts were quick to respond to queries.

Positive: The presentation and the decor was lovely, it had a lovely deep bath and lots of modern appliances Negative: My sleep was awful, the main bedroom at the front has NO curtains or black out blinds. The blinds thst are there are normal day blinds. Therefor as soon as it gets light outside from about 4am the Erin is light up like daytime. Also the road noise is bad. The owners really should get some black out curtains because l felt ill will how little sleep l got

Positive: Stunning property with gorgeous views.

A lovely house for a stay in the Peak District

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in Matlock and our stay at Rock End. The house was immaculate. The kitchen was very equipped with everything you could think of and more. Would recommend a stay at Rock End without hesitation.

Rock End is a beautiful property in a lovely area perfect for exploring. Immaculately presented with great facilities and was very comfortable. Beware if you issues with steep stairs.

Great stay - the Airbnb had everything we needed and was very clean. A gorgeous townhouse!

Really lovely stay. Great area and the house was immaculate.

Great house in a great location Really clean and well equipped Car space is a bit tight to get into but would not put me off rebooking in future - a lovely stay

Positive: Great house, very clean and spacious, 2 good pubs close by. Great walks in the area. Negative: Pretty steep hill down to Matlock.

Had a lovely stay!

Wonderful time We had a great time, only scored low on communication because my stay lost its link with Vrbo and this caused me a bit of hassle and stress. Lovely property with everything you need.

Positive: The property is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Would recommend the house to others. Negative: It doesn’t have a garden area, but it’s very conveniently located and has stunning views

Urlaub 2025 Es war ne tolle Woche, uns allen hat es sehr gefallen. Tolle Unterkunft sehr stimmig und gepflegt.. Blumen am Tisch und selbst feuerholz im Kamin war zum anzünden bereit. Jederzeit wieder

Positive: Lots of space,everything you needed from a holiday home was there.Beautiful house. Host left us extras what was a lovely surprise .wine,cookies and milk. Host was very quick to answer when I contacted them. Negative: My bed sadly was the worst I ever slept in. It was like sleeping on a sponge. Every time I moved I sank into the bed. and the pillows were the same.The other two beds were fine.

Amazing Positive: Excellent property

This home was the perfect spot for us to relax, cook and explore the surrounding area. The house was spotlessly clean and well located, the house was cosy and well furnished and instructions were easy to follow. I cannot recommend this stay enough.

Fabulous Victorian property with modern touches just outside Matlock. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay perfect, including fresh flowers, a bottle of wine and chocolate biscuits. Beds were comfortable, lovely linen and fresh towels. Kitchen had all the normal amenities and more including an air fryer. Cosy lounge seating with log burner, just perfect. Elevated position, great views, a couple of pubs within easy walking distance. Highly recommend and would love to return.
