Location
This charming, detached house is situated in the hamlet of Swanwick on the edge of the Peak District National Park, just eight miles from Matlock. Set back from the main road, the property offers a comfortable, spacious touring base for up to five visitors. Boasting traditional furnishings and a conservatory overlooking the patio and rear garden - ideal for summer barbecues – the property has three bedrooms and makes a wonderful home from home for a family or a group of friends. The local amenities are within easy driving distance, whilst many scenic walking routes can be reached from the house itself.
Situated in the parish of Alfreton is the small hamlet of Swanwick, located just a few miles from the main motorway links and on the very edge of the Derbyshire Dales. With good access to the scenic countryside and excellent walking trails, as well as the market town of Alfreton - named after Alfred the Great - the area is popular with visitors and provides a good base for exploring the Peak District. Matlock, set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, has been attracting visitors to the area since the installation of a spa there in the late 17th Century. With a selection of excellent restaurants and traditional pubs as well as attractions such as Gulliver's Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum, visitors will be spoiled for choice. Visitors can enjoy wonderful days out to Chatsworth House, take the cable car ride at the Heights of Abraham, enjoy a picnic by Carsington Lake or explore the lively market town of Bakewell.
The ultimate in "year-round" appeal, the Peak District offers countryside, picturesque villages and magnificent scenery. It touches upon six counties and encloses 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, and wooded dales.
Reviews of Two Tees
"The furnishings were very dated and tired with a rather unpleasant smell in the downstairs rooms. The bed linen and duvets had seen better days, very cheap and worn. It was unusual not to have anywhere to hang coats in the hallway, especially with the wet weather in that area. The front bedrooms are affected by the road noise, however the backrooms are fine although the window openings leave a lot to be desired...... The location was not ideal for walking or for eating out, you would have to drive a distance to find a pub that served food. On the plus side Leabrooks fish bar, a very short walk away, served beautiful fish and chips. That aside the owner, who lives next door, was very friendly and did check we were ok."

"In a very convenient location for places of interest in both Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. The owner is very friendly and very helpful. It was beautifully clean and had all the facilities we needed. If you are just wanting to travel locally there is a bus stop very close by and food shopping is within walking distance. I would recommend it to anyone and would happily use it again."

"This was the second time we had stayed. For a 3 bed detached, it is excellent value for money. Our aim this time was to visit the National Trust properties in the area and Sherwood Forest. Last time we visited the Peak District, it is convenient for all these places. There is a Co-op within 5 minutes walk and Tesco or Sainsbury's within a 10 minute drive. All very good for a low cost family self-catering holiday. The owners next door are always very friendly and helpful."

Lounge comfortable and cosy. Good size bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Basin in bathroom was small but good bath and shower.
