Oozing with style, the perfect base for any family or group of friends, Catmint Cottage is everything and more that guests could wish for in the beautiful village of Lea, near Matlock. The owners have painstakingly ensured this Grade II listed cottage offers everything and more any group would need to enjoy a home-from-home holiday. On entering the property you are welcomed into the light and airy hallway with open plan living/kitchen and dining area to one side and living room to the other. The cream wooden units in the kitchen set off this beautifully furnished room well-equipped with all you will need and more.
The living room has a Smart TV for guests to enjoy and a gas coal-effect fire and comfortable sofas make this ideal for any time of the year, but especially ideal for those cosy winter nights. Upstairs the property boasts three beautiful bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities and a family bathroom fitted with a shower over the bath.

The parish of Dethick, Lea and Holloway is steeped in history and Lea is also recorded in the Domesday Book as Lede; the famous Florence Nightingale spent much of her early life at Lea Hurst. The peaceful village of Lea offers visitors friendly pubs, tea rooms, restaurants and the famous John Smedley factory. Rural Derbyshire is a real treasure trove offering everything for the visitor including country houses, historic halls, medieval ruins, heritage railways, cycleways, beautiful unspoilt countryside and pretty villages. One of the closest attractions to Lea Hall is the Heights of Abraham. Built on the site of historic lead mining, the hilltop park is approached by cable car which rises up and offers some spectacular views of the Derwent Valley and surrounding Peak District. Visitors can tour the network of caverns and passageways left behind and explore the 60 acres of woodland hillside and buy souvenirs at the gift shop. Alternatively, for those who appreciate stately homes and gardens, magnificent Chatsworth House is highly recommended, as well as Haddon Hall and Lyme Park, all of which have been film or TV locations over the years.

We really enjoyed our stay at Catmint Cottage. It’s a lovely cottage, well equipped and tastefully decorated, with plenty of space for 5 adults. The weather was gorgeous so we spent a lot of time across the road in the meadow, and enjoyed playing with the outdoor games from the shed to the left of the house. The dog had a great time with lots of walks from the door. Thanks for the welcome goodies which were quickly devoured!! We would definitely visit again!
