The Coach House is a great base in Wirksworth. A few minutes walking distance to the very centre, and excellent for exploring the Peak District. The owner was very thoughtful, leaving us milk, homemade bread and eggs, which were all appreciated. The house was spotlessly clean, and the decor simple. Both bedrooms are a good size and have ensuites with good water pressure, which is always nice! For us the living space was a tiny bit too snug, so we probably wouldn't book again for that reason. However, I'd be very happy to recommend.
