A Delightful Holiday Home in the Heart of the Matlocks

About The Tollhouse

The Tollhouse was built in 1823 & has been lovingly renovated over several years to create a uniquely eccentric holiday home that is ideal for a romantic break, a family holiday, adventure holiday or just as base to explore the Peak District.
Ideally located within walking distance of Matlock & Matlock Bath with stunning views of High Tor.

The holiday let (featured on TVs Escape to the country!) is a fully detached two-storey property comprised of dining area, kitchen, spacious lounge with double sofa bed and original Challen baby grand piano, downstairs toilets, 2 large bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. At the front of the house, there is a large roof top garden terrace accessible via both bedrooms with lounge chairs and large outdoor dining table. At the rear of the property, there is a small secluded patio. Your furry friends are welcome as the property is dog friendly! There is a secure external, lockable storage for bicycles, motorbikes and canoes on the side of the property.

Chesterfield Sofa Bed (sleeps 2)

The heart of The Tollhouse is this character-packed living room, complete with a sumptuous Chesterfield sofa bed, a vintage piano and guitars for those musically inclined. Whether you’re curling up with a book, enjoying a board game, or hosting extra guests, this space blends comfort and charm effortlessly.

Also Includes Workspace

A fully equipped kitchen and cosy dining space with everything you need — plus a few surprises. Cook up a storm, dine in style, then unwind with a game or two on the retro arcade machine. There’s also a handy workspace tucked away, ideal for remote working or planning your next Peak District adventure.

King Size Bed (sleeps 2)

A striking four-poster bed, soft lighting, and a feature roll-top bath set the tone for this beautiful space. French doors open directly onto the garden roof terrace, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind under the stars.

Double Bed (sleeps 2)

This inviting double room features deep, warming tones and vintage-inspired touches for a relaxed, boutique feel. French doors lead straight out onto the garden roof terrace — ideal for soaking up the peaceful surroundings morning or evening.

1 Bathroom & Downstairs Toilet

Upstairs, you’ll find a stunning main bathroom with unique touches and high-end finishes — the perfect place to soak and unwind. Downstairs, there’s a convenient additional toilet, making mornings and group stays that little bit easier.

Step out onto your very own rooftop haven, complete with soft artificial grass, comfy loungers, and a table for al fresco dining or morning coffee. Whether you’re sunbathing, sipping wine under the stars, or simply enjoying the fresh Derbyshire air, this terrace is a standout feature of The Tollhouse.

Nicola

Absolutely loved this fantastic property – one of the best we have stayed in. It is exactly like the description and the photos and, in fact, is even better once you start exploring! So much to intrigue you. Great care and attention has been given to all aspects of your stay, from the quality of the decor, furniture and appliances to the little touches in each of the rooms which really made you feel welcome and special. The Tollhouse is really convenient for both Matlock and Matlock Bath and the stunning walks in the surrounding area. Wish we could have stayed longer and have already been sharing with friends and family!

Gina

The pictures do not do this place enough justice. It's amazing. Homely, spotless, such lovely detail throughout the house. Decor just dreamy and so unique yet you could spend hours seeing looking at the detail and work thats gone into this home.. It's so much bigger when you get inside. My husband and I both said 'wow" when we walked inside. Close enough to many things but so peaceful also.
Host were perfect. Provided guidance and were so responsive.
This place is what dreams are made of.

Lisa

Had a great stay at the Tollhouse with our two kids. Wonderful location, right in the middle of Matlock and Matlock Bath. Heights of Abraham a stroll away. The house is wonderful - beautifully decorated with wonderful eclectic furniture and artefacts. My kids were fascinated by the record player!
