Rocester, a charming little community, is situated in a triangle of land between the Rivers Churnet and Dove on the boundary of Derbyshire and Staffordshire. The Domesday Book mentions the settlement, and the location of a Roman fort is still visible today. The renowned JCB factory is located in Rocester, and the business has manicured the area in order to create some lovely walks with some intriguing sculptures around the facility and the adjoining parkland. The Fossor, a potent allusion to JCB fashioned completely of bits from a digger, is the most significant of these. The Limestone Way, which leads to Matlock, begins in Rocester, which is also halfway along the Staffordshire Way, which traverses the entire length of Staffordshire. The charming market town of Ashbourne is close to Rocester, and Alton Towers, which offers family-friendly entertainment, is only a short drive away. Discover the historic homes, market towns, moorland, rolling hills, and valleys of the Peak District National Park in either Staffordshire or Derbyshire, all of which are close to Rocester.

Beverley
The cottage was really well appointed and comfortable. We even used the pool a couple of times. We had a lovely week there and consider that we were lucky with the weather when it came to our little trips out. A lovely cottage, a lovely couple and a lovely break. We would highly recommend this cottage..

Well appointed and with the added bonus of an indoor heated pool. The owners Helen and Laurence were perfect hosts, very discreet and accommodating. The cottage looks better in real life than the photo and it is quiet and comfortable. The working farm doesnât disturb, but the animals (dogs, cats, ducks and goats) are very friendly. We would definitely make a return visit.

Peaceful, Idyllic surroundings. Charming owners are close-by to sort out any problems. Excellent base for day trips to Peak District towns and attractions. Private pool available is amazing. On the estate youâll see grazing sheep, a Llama, ducks, two friendly cats, and three extremely friendly dogs. Highly recommend.
