The cottage's fabulous location is frequently highlighted, with its peaceful, private setting and stunning views, yet convenient access to local towns and attractions.

The property is well-equipped and maintained, though there are minor suggestions for improvement such as a full-size ironing board and better bathroom storage. The mention of a sometimes malfunctioning shower indicates a slight deduction in the score.

About this property
Wirksworth 1.5 miles. Lane Head Cottage is a beautiful stone-fronted cottage nestled within the charming village of Alderwasley. A beautifully appointed dwelling boasting outstanding scenery and incredible views, this cottage is the perfect location for families, friends of five or two couples who seek an escape to the rural Derbyshire Dales. Open the door of this traditional countryside cottage and step into the warmth of the spacious kitchen/dining room as you appreciate the character of the original feature fireplace and exposed wood beams.

Place a log on the pretty woodburning stove and watch the fire flicker as you kick back and relax on the sofas and search for a movie to watch on the Smart TV.

Venture downstairs and take a seat at the dining table as your glass fills with wine and the room fills with divine scents from the food cooking away in the kitchen. Tuck into a lovingly made meal and laugh with your loved ones as you recall fond memories from past holidays and toast to making more memories in the days to come.

The location is beautiful and the views stunning. The beds were very comfortable and the peace and quiet at night very restful. We hope we will be able to stay again when we venture back that way. The cake was a lovely delicious surprise.

We loved staying in such a secluded place with fantastic views. We had young children with us so the enclosed garden was very handy. There was plenty of space inside for 4 adults, a toddler and a baby. We thoroughly enjoyed walks straight from the cottage especially the bluebells in Kennel Woods. The homemade cake that had been left for us was delicious!
