I took my elderly parents, both in their 90s. The cottage is all on one level with a wet room, perfect for them. Cosy living area, wooden + stone floors, kitchen , 2 very nice bedrooms, extra blankets, front and back door, with plenty of outside seating.Very peaceful, There is a steep hill down to Cromford Wharf which has limited pavement, so we used the car, 2 minutes. Blue badge holders can park in the Derbyshire county council Cromford wharf car park for free. Had a lovely week there, would certainly recommend.

Lovely stay in a lovely cosy cottage , it has everything you need , lovely and warm , in walking distance of local attractions and walks a stones throw from Cromford canal , being on a working farm it was nice to see the chicken wandering about , horses were in the fields and a few cows I would highly recommend staying at this cottage for a relaxing peaceful break .
