Holbein Reviews

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 wellmaintained, providing a cozy retreat where we could unwind and enjoy the stunning surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the hot tubthere'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!
