Rocking Stone Farm, Birchover, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 2BL

Perched high atop Eagle Tor, surrounded by ancient boulders and wild, rugged beauty, Boulderfield Cabin feels like a secret hideaway crafted for those in search of true escapism. Reaching it requires a short but steep climb up a 300-metre unmade path—just enough effort to leave the everyday world behind and step into a portal of calm that feels untouched by time. Here, beneath a sky uninterrupted by streetlights, you’ll find a cosy, handcrafted cabin designed with simplicity, comfort, and a generous dose of magic, just what you need for a romantic escape.

Inside, the cabin is snug and welcoming. The wood-burning stove crackles away, casting a warm glow across the space, while the 180-degree views from the bed frame an ever-changing canvas of rolling valleys and distant hills, a real treat with the changing seasons. Above, a glass ceiling invites you to lie back and gaze at the stars—a natural spectacle that really adds to the magic of your stay.

The outdoor setup is equally enchanting. The wood-fired hot tub, set atop a boulder, delivers uninterrupted views of the valley below. After a long soak, step under the outdoor shower, where warm water washes over you as the breeze stirs the trees. A covered kitchen and dining area make alfresco meals easy, with a gas BBQ and firepit on hand for long evenings spent toasting marshmallows and swapping stories under the stars.

The nearby village of Birchover is just a five-minute walk away, with The Druid Inn and The Red Lion Inn both serving hearty food and local ales. For a day out, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, while the surrounding Peak District landscape promises miles of walking trails, cycle routes, and climbing spots.

Rustic, romantic, and refreshingly simple, just like its sister property Rocking Stone Cottage, Boulderfield Cabin is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature from sunrise to starry night.

Sleeping

Boulderfield Cabin is a small space that makes the very most of it, you will sleep on a futon sofa bed, which is low and firm, which can be folded up to provide more room in the day.

 

Living

 

The majority of the space at Boulderfield Cabin is outside. Inside you will find your bed, which can be folded into a sofa, log burner, and amazing glass roof for star gazing! There is a covered outdoor kitchen/eating area and a firepit to toast marshmallows.

 

Outdoors

Outdoors is where the magic lies with this property. There is a terrace with beautiful countryside views, featuring a hot tub, outdoor shower and seating area. As mentioned above, this is also where the outdoor kitchen/eating area is and outdoor eco toilet.
