Keepsake View is a large spacious accommodation with everything you could need provided. The beds are super-comfy - the best we've ever found when self-catering! The garden is well maintained for guests' use and for energetic dogs to play in. The host Tina provided a wealth of info before we arrived so we could plan outings and pub meals etc. and was always contactable if required. We hope to return again in the future.

We had a perfect holiday staying at Keepsake View. It’s a well laid out and spacious accommodation and had everything we could possibly need. An amazing view from the front rooms and a beautiful, large, private space to the rear with table and chairs and patio furniture Great place to relax. Darley Dale has a convenient Co-op with larger super markets only a 10 minute drive away in Matlock. We had a lovely Sunday lunch in Barringtons Hotel. It has a good outside area for drinks in the warmer weather. We were surrounded by beautiful countryside. It s a great location for visiting Bakewell, Chatsworth House and many other places of interest in the area.
