Holbein

Holbein pod was wonderful.

Nicola the host was very welcoming and available nearby or by text if needed. She had thought of everything for a comfortable stay. The pod is in a great setting on the hillside so has great views over the valley. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it as a great place to stay if you appreciate a quiet rural setting just outside Matlock. The hot tub was a lovely experience particularly on a cold, windy March evening looking out over the countryside. Also very dog friendly with a fenced in area.

Holbein is the perfect stay in the Peak district.

The location is ideal for exploring around the Peak District. The owner Nicola was welcoming, friendly and helpful to the point of helping to carry our bags to the pod. The pod is nestled on the hill side above a farm with horses below and you can see the steam train from the pod. The hot tub was a great facility and we were blessed with fine weather during our stay. This stay will be remembered for a long time.

We had a fabulous stay at Holbein.

The pod had everything we needed and the views were amazing. The hot tub was a wonderful touch of luxury and we throughly enjoyed the views and the stars!

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay for our anniversary.

It was also where my now fiancé proposed to me. Very clean. Comfy, warm bedding and plenty of amenities within the cabin. The log fire and log fire hot tub were amazing. We shall definitely be coming back

Can’t express how beautiful Holbein is.

Gorgeous picturesque setting. Wonderful host who greeted us and even carried our bags up to the lodge. The attention to detail is incredible, so well thought out so you have all your home comforts and more, even down to supplying binoculars so you can enjoy the view. We stayed over New year and I have to say sitting in the hot tub while the wind was howling enjoying a glass of champagne provided by the host was one of the best experiences we have had. Thank you.

Me and my partner have stayed in many cottages and cabins and this is definitely one of our favourites.

Nicola and warren were very hospitable and very helpful if we ever had a question. The area is very private and there is some lovely scenery to look over whilst in the hot tub. We really loved the aesthetic of the place and will definitely be booking to stay here again.

The Holbein was the first stay in a "pod" for me and the dog.

It was beautifully constructed, both inside and out and we were sorry to leave. Everything was very clean, and very well fitted out. The welcome pack was very much appreciated - thank you! The wood-burning stove was the highlight of our stay and very welcome with the cold evenings. The dog-bed and bowls was a very welcome surprise and Rex made a bee-line for it straightaway. I didn't have the courage to use the hot-tub: nice to get in but not keen to get out, but in summer it will be different. Good, accessible parking. We selected the pod for peace and quiet, and weren't disappointed. Highly recommended and we hope to come back when it gets warmer.

This was our second stay at Holbein in 6 months, the pod is perfect for a nice quiet get away & has everything you could need.

Nicola & Warren are the perfect hosts & are always there if you need anything, nothing is too much trouble. The walks around the area are amazing with some breathtaking views & after a day out walking & exploring the area coming back to the hot tub is just what you need, sitting there just listening to all the wildlife around you is a perfect way to end your day. It is safe to say we will definitely be back sooner rather than later

An exceptional stay.

Nicola was an incredible host and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. A really great escape and gorgeous surroundings. Already have friends who will be staying next year because of this. Thanks again for an amazing week.

The pod was excellent.

The owner was incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend.

An absolutely fantastic place, secluded, dog friendly.

The hot tub was amazing to relax in and watch the night sky. Nicola met us and made us feel very welcome, thank you for the added touches, and the Prosecco was a lovely treat. We hope next time we get to stay for longer.

A wonderful pod with amazing views.

The pod is immaculate and Thankyou to Nicola.

We had the best time at Holbein it was Amazing.

Warren met us and took us up to the pod and was very welcoming. Relaxing in the hot tub in the evening was great with the gorgous views and was so peaceful.The prosecco, milk, biscuits and marshmallows where a lovely treat, many thanks for that.. It's a perfect place to take your dog it's secure,unfortunately our lovely Molly passed away shortly before we were due to take her for our little holiday .We will definitely be booking again. Gill and Keith.

We had the best time at Holbein pod The views were incredible & the hot tube was amazing Nicola & family was lovely Definitely will be returning xx

From the moment we arrived until we left, the 5 night break was fantastic.

All as advertised. Very relaxing, fantastic views, peace and tranquility. Nicola was always on hand if we needed anything. Thank you for the bubbles, biscuits and eggs Lazing in the hot tub with the amazing views were the perfect tonic after a day of hiking. Great walks on your doorstep. Gentle walk into Matlock took about 30 minutes. Totally enclosed garden allowed Dudley our cocker to roam free. Very comfortable bed. Great spacious shower. BBQ/log burner. Well equipped kitchen. Nothing negative to say.

I went away alone with just me and my dog and we both really enjoyed our cosy stay!

Lovely hosts’ and I will definitely be up for booking again in the future!

Thank you so much Nicola & Warren !

! Holbein is an amazing place to stay, you have everything that you need & the hot tub is an amazing bonus !! It’s been a perfect break from reality, having stayed in a few places in the area Holbein has been the best by far !! The walks in to Matlock, Darley Dale & all the surrounding areas are amazing for the scenery & the views & after a long day of walking & exploring the hot tub is a very welcome treat to come home to. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars listening to all the nature & wildlife you’re surrounded by is a perfect way to finish your day. When they say “less is more” you don’t always agree but in this case Nicola & Warren have got Holbein absolutely perfect & spot on & a return visit is definitely on the cards sooner rather than later. Thank you so much again John & Pepper

Lovely unusual "Hobbity Hut".

Beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. The log fuelled outdoor hot tub was pure bliss, very relaxing. Nicola the host was very warm and friendly, the free range fresh eggs a bonus. Thank you so much, we would heartily recommend

Warren and Nicola are amazing down to earth hosts, greeted us at the gate and even helped us with our bags.

They gave us a thorough run through of everything and even suggested some local walks. The fresh chicken eggs and milk were a lovely touch. We took our Greyhound Nutty and we're surprised to find the bed they provided was big enough even for her. She couldn't have been happier staying here, don't think she wanted to leave. The pictures don't do the views justice. Sitting in the wood fired hot tub and staring at the landscape as the sun sets was pretty special. There was an abundance of firewood, we didn't even make a dent. Honestly couldn't fault anything, it was a perfect little weekend getaway. We hope to be back soon! Thanks again!!

We had an amazing break at Holbein.

Nicola and Warren are incredible hosts with a really strong outlook on being eco friendly. The accommodation is perfect, romantic and cut off from the rat race. We enjoyed the incredible views and lovely hot tub. Especially at night under the stars. They have thought of all the little things - Binoculars to watch the wildlife - robes for the tub - thick fluffy towels - a warm welcome and treats. It’s secure to let you dog roam. Comfy outdoor furniture to sit and soak the views. It makes the walk up the lane worth it! Great walks direct from the property along the railway line. Hoping to revisit in the future.

We had a really lovely time, the pod was clean and very homely, Nicola made sure we had everything us and our dog needed and was so kind and welcoming.

The hot tub is an excellent touch to your stay with amazing views.

What a perfect weeks stay in this beautiful little Pod, even from before we arrived the communication from Warren was perfect, making sure we knew where to go for directions and even preparing the hottub for us when we arrived.

When we arrived the owners both greeted us and walked with us up to the pod. The pod is a short walk along a nice trail from the private car park space to the pod. You are completely alone up there, complete privacy and peaceful atmosphere with only nature around to hear. With such beautiful views from the pod and the hottub itself it's just a perfect location. The pod itself was immaculately presented. With some teas and cakes, freshly laid eggs and a bottle of prossecco provided made for an extremely nice touch after a 3+ hour drive. There was even a dog bed provided and bowls for our little Jack russell and a dog proof enclosure so you can let them out unsupervised. The pod and hottub are both warmed by fire stoves which I very much enjoyed getting the grips with it and the heating in the pod is very easy to get the pod warm. Cooking and cleaning facilities are incredible and exactly what you need. I would best describe it as its an amazing experience for simpler living but in a luxurious way! We both absolutely loved our stay, the location, the pod and the communication and friendliness of the owners too. We 100% will be back. 5*****

**Review of Our Stay at Holbein, Matlock, Derbyshire** We recently had the pleasure of staying at Holbein, a charming little log cabin nestled in the beautiful countryside of Matlock, Derbyshire, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a sense of tranquility and peace. The cabin was immaculately clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat where we could unwind and enjoy the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the hot tub—there's nothing quite like soaking under the stars after a day of exploring! The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They went above and beyond by providing us with useful information about local attractions and activities, which made it easy for us to plan our days. Their warm hospitality truly made us feel at home. The area around Matlock is rich with stunning scenery and plenty of outdoor activities, making it a perfect getaway for nature lovers. Whether it was hiking, visiting local attractions, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, there was never a dull moment. Overall, we highly recommend Holbein to anyone looking for a relaxing escape. We had an unforgettable stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for an amazing experience!
