Belper, situated in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now you'll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. There is a thriving local music and arts scene and the town hosts an annual Arts festival every May as well as Winter and Summer Food festivals and a monthly Farmers Market. The nearby historical village of Wirksworth is also home to a well-established Art and Architecture trail and Arts Festival every September. Just 10 miles away, the popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House - not to be missed! The award-winning town of Belper provides holidaymakers with an excellent base for all that Derbyshire has to offer.

The property is not suitable at present for holiday makers with disabilities. There was safety issues with the front door step, shower, bath and shower cubicle for disabled users. The stairs are too tight but being a cottage the owner cannot do anything about that but advertise as such. He is taking some on board thatâs why I donât want to under score him. A nice touch was bread, honey, butter, chocolateâs and wine left for us, milk also but opened. Please re advertise the disability faults

Cottage has everything you need, very thoughtful having handwash at every sink, even shower gel in bathrooms and plenty of toilet roll. The kitchen has tea, coffee, sugar etc, and a lovely welcome basket including milk and bread. The outside has steps up to a seating area with bbq which would be great In summer time. Fully enclosed area which was perfect for our dogs. Valley view is a lovely base to visit Matlock, Derby Dale, Bakewell with some lovely scenic walks. Just down the street is a footpath where you can walk the dogs with a great view of the valley. Itâs a short walk into the town of Belper and there are plenty of places to eat locally. Parking is easy on the street outside the property. Thank you for a lovely few days.
