Baslow is a lovely village, beautifully situated for exploring the Peak District, and we had a comfortable stay at Little Hoot. It is very quiet there, with wonderful views (not least of Chatsworth House, which is about 20 minutes walk from the village). Little Hoot is about 10 minutes walk from the village, but that is all downhill, so getting back might be an effort! Maybe be better to take the car! There is a village shop close by, so no need to go to the village for provisions. Your car has to be parked in the road outside Little Hoot, but that’s not a problem as it is a quiet cul-de-sac, but it’s relevant to mention that the drive is steep to walk up, and there are about 10 steps up into the property, which is an annex of the main house. A couple of recommendations - take a trip on the open top Peak Sightseer bus (from the village bus stop), and visit the National Tramway Museum at Matlock.
