Calamine Cottage is a well-loved property in Cromford, Derbyshire, praised for its comfort, location, and local amenities. Guests have enjoyed the cosy atmosphere, friendly village, and proximity to Peak District attractions. The Boat Inn and local fish & chip shop are frequently recommended.

Most guests found the cottage clean and well-equipped. However, one review mentioned a significant mould issue, which impacts the score. No other reviews corroborated this, suggesting it may not be a widespread problem.
The location is generally praised for its convenience to local attractions and amenities. However, several reviews mentioned noise from a busy road and quarry lorries, which affects the tranquillity expected from a cottage stay.
Guests consistently describe the beds as comfortable and the cottage as cosy, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the comfort provided during their stay.
The cottage is well-regarded for its facilities, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and good WiFi. The mention of mould and steep garden steps suggests some maintenance issues, slightly lowering the score.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
This gorgeous three-storey Grade II listed property is located in the pretty village centre of Cromford, steeped in history and offering plenty of amenities. Sympathetically restored and lovingly cared for, the cottage blends modern comforts with a real sense of history – note the fascinating wording adorning the staircase! The cottage is within 0.25 mile of pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes. There is a fabulous bookshop just around the corner and a beautiful mill pond where you can often see swans and ducks. Venture down to Cromford Mills, just half a mile away, and discover some great shops or take a stroll by the canal for a nice flat walk. Close to High Peak Trail and Black Rocks, venture out on foot and enjoy the adventurous and extremely picturesque walks right from your doorstep, or head just one mile away to Matlock Bath, where you can enjoy ice cream parlours, fish and chip shops, cable cars and more!
