The apartment was very well equipped and was in an excellent location for all the amenities & attractions in Matlock. Very comfortable bed, very clean throughout, nice decor touches. The management company were very responsive in trying to solve the issue of the WiFi not working.
The white wooden blinds are very pretty but this is a town centre location with street lighting right outside & a bridal shop opposite with a bright white frontage. As a result, the double bedroom (along with the rest of the apartment) was never dark. Proper blinds in the bedrooms would be better.
The sensor light in the hallway which stays on for half an hour & can't be switched off is also a nuisance at night & unnecessary given the size of the space.
Noise - due to the central location, there is a lot of traffic noise. The owners now provide earplugs which help. It does quiten down at night but as there are a lot of shops around, expect to be woken up early by deliveries if you don't wear them.
The bar. I'm not sure what could be done to improve the impact from the bar opposite but it is certainly something to be aware of. I stayed for a week Friday to Friday. The first two nights were incredibly noisy, bordering on intolerable. I had the windows closed, fan on & TV much louder than I normally would. I could still clearly hear what song was playing. The noise quitened down around 1am. As I was staying for a week, I didn't overally mind two nights of it but given even with earplugs the traffic can wake you up from 5am, I can't recommend this accommodation for a weekend break. From Sunday through Thursday it is a very different experience & the noise from the bar is barely noticeable. I would stay again for a midweek break.
