About this property
An amazing barn conversion with wonderful views across the valley.
Little House is an amazing barn conversion set amongst a cluster of cottages in a secret little valley nestling in the rolling hills south of Matlock. The interior is beautifully decorated and furnished. The double-sided log burning stove, feature staircase, vaulted bedroom with quiet reading area and incredible views make this a very special place. The terrace, balcony and patio are ideal places to have a glass or two while drinking in the views.
This is the perfect base from which to explore the numerous local holiday attractions. The High Peak Trail is great for walkers and cyclists. Carsington Water with its wild water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill. The lovely historic town of Wirksworth with heritage railway, heritage trail, Northern Lights little cinema, and many a pub and restaurant is just ten minutes drive away. Belper’s award-winning market town in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor is another must.
There are also lots of other Peak District attractions in the surrounding hills. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the Derwent Valley. The National Tramway Museum, Peak Rail's steam trains and the Heights of Abraham cable cars are well worth a visit. Venture beyond famous Bakewell and you are in the real Peaks with sparkling rivers, picturesque villages, incredible views from the gritstone edges and country pubs galore.

This was an idyllic place to stay. Situated perfectly in an area of outstanding beauty, wonderfully quiet, with everything you could need for an lovely holiday & close enough to get to everywhere you could possibly wish to visit in the Peak District & surrounding area. Close to local shops & the smashing market town of Wirksworth, a little gem of a place we only discovered on this visit, but the peaks are full of such places. We did loads of walking & got quite addicted to watching the cows go for milking each morning & evening. The owner is the perfect hostess, catering to her guests every need. We were reluctant to leave & will definitely be returning as soon as we can. If you are looking for a relaxed, get away from it all holiday, in a beautiful cottage then you will hit gold with the Little House.

Fabulous location, very peaceful but within easy reach of local attractions. The standard of fittings at Little House are very high and Lovely little touches by the owner are very welcoming. The ideal place to stay to get away from it all but plenty of local attractions to suit all tastes, we found Black rock and Carsington waters particularly good for walking our dog. Little House is very dog friendly and highly recommended.
