We are frequent visitors to The Counting House because it is fabulous! Wirksworth has a great deal to offer too - good places to eat and drink, nearby walks in the White Peak, easily drivable to the Dark Peak. And after the energetic walks, a comfortable, beautiful place to come back to. What more could you ask!?
