A short journey takes you to the local market towns of Matlock, Matlock Bath, Bakewell and Buxton with their excellent shops, inns, and restaurants. In addition to the Hardwick Estate, a short journey will take you to attractions which include Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Newstead Abbey, once home to the romantic poet Lord Byron, or even pick a spot for a picnic in the 3800 acres of Clumber Park. If history is your thing, the castles of Pevril, Riber and Bolsover are all local and worth a visit.
Always a hit with children of any age is Chatsworth Farm and adventure playground plus all year-round theme parks of Alton Towers or Heights of Abraham, not forgetting the cable cars at Matlock Bath (also the place to be especially on a Sunday if you are keen on motorbikes). Still fancy something different? Why not visit the Blue John and Speedwell mines at Castleton or the Crich Tramway Museum? For those feeling active, hire a bike at Sherwood Pines with its a labyrinth of cycle and walking trails and while you are there, why not head over to visit Sherwood Forest with its legend of Robin Hood.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights to break up a long journey home. We missed being greeted by Damian as we arrived much later than we'd intended. He'd given us directions on the best way to get to the cottage as the satnav tends to take you a busier way which was greatly appreciated. There is plenty of parking there. The cottage is at the side of a road but there wasn't much traffic passing. The cottage is lovely, very clean and has everything you'd need. Great welcome pack. Plenty of places to sit outside and relax. We didn't venture from the cottage for the full day we were there so can't speak to the local amenities. The stairs going up to the bedrooms are a bit steep and we held onto the bannister particularly when descending. Highly recommended (unless you're a bit unsteady on your feet and the stairs may be a challenge).

Absolutely stunning house, very well equipped and clean. Beautiful garden. Lovely pub at the top of the village, we were made to feel very welcome. Lovely welcome hamper on our arrival and lots of information about the area and things to do, definitely hoping to return next year.
