Robin's Nest was a delightful little cottage for a couple for a short break.Set on a farm in quiet countryside in an interesting part of Derbyshire, with Matlock Bath, Matlock & the Dales within easy reach via the A6, it makes a good base for walking and sight seeing.Arkwright's famous cotton mills are very close & also Chatsworth, Bakewell & the Derwent Valley.Facilities all good & modern with plenty of equipment. Farm staff friendly & welcoming. Three self-catering cottages together round a pretty little courtyard with lovely views.The lane up to the farm is rather narrow with several pot holes!

Perfect location spot, close to so many places and shops and local walks. The cottage is perfect size and layout for 2 people. I went with my 5 year old daughter and it was a fabulous place to stay.It is on a working farm so there are some animals noises and tractors but it really wasn’t a bother as it adds to the novelty of staying at a farm and enjoying the country life. The owners are very friendly and give you space but also there to help at a drop of a hat. I took my saluki with us and as it is a working farm when we left the cottage I kept him on lead as there is free range chickens and out of respect for them, there is also cats roaming freely too.It truly was a wonderful place to stay and we will be back for our next adventure as there is always lots to do and see. We also took a walk around the farm and all the workers were exceptionally well mannered and welcoming.I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect.
