About this property

Settled in the Derbyshire village of Creswell, home to Creswell Crags and surrounded by rural countryside, on the edge of the Welbeck Eestate, this mid-terrace red brick dwelling offers a delightful escape. Hazelmere Cottage was once a miner's cottage, now showcasing attractive accommodation for a family of four. Step inside after taking in the pretty exterior and parking on the off-road parking space, and discover the front sitting room, where a homely setup of two sofas, a gas fire set within a traditional fireplace, and a Smart TV all rest, providing somewhere to relax after a busy, exciting day. Grab one of the board games from this room and take it into the kitchen/diner, gather around the quaint cottage-style table and grey painted chairs, and enjoy hours of family fun. A sofa bed and a TV can be found in the dining space too, offering a flexible sleeping arrangement, or just somewhere to settle with a good book for a peaceful moment. Continue into the beautiful kitchen when everyone's feeling hungry, and be met with bright white cupboards, light wood worktops and pretty blue tiling, home to some quality appliances, including a fridge/freezer, induction hob, electric oven and a washing machine. From here, while dinner cooks, take a drink and some nibbles out to the enclosed garden; the lawn space is shared with the other properties either side, but with the benefit of a patio with seating just for your use, it's a perfect setting to enjoy on a summer's evening. At the end of the day, travel up the steep stairs to the first floor and be welcomed into one of the two bedrooms, either the spacious double bedroom, or the excellent twin, both enjoying crisp white bed linen, with cheerful yellow accents throughout the decor, and feature wallpaper, creating a delightful environment to rest in. Take an hour aside to enjoy a soak in the luxurious roll-top bath in the bathroom, where there's also a walk-in shower too, and afterwards dry off with a toasty towel from the heated rail. Walk into the village of Creswell for any supplies, with a small selection of local shops to choose from, or dine out for the evening at one of the lovely and welcoming pubs in the area. Visit the amazing attraction of Creswell Crags Museum & Heritage Centre, where you can marvel at prehistoric tools and art, amongst interesting exhibitions, all set within a limestone gorge and caves, it makes a fabulous day out and just a stone's throw from Hazelmere Cottage. Also close by is the wonderful Clumber Park, a National Trust park which includes luscious woodland, a picturesque lake and lovely gardens, offering a perfect space for some leisurely walks in the outdoors, all set over 3,800 acres of parkland. For cycling enthusiasts there is also the Robin Hood Cycle Path to enjoy. Jump in the car and venture towards the Peaks, starting with a fantastic day of exploring the county town of Matlock, where quaint streets and many attractions await, such as the amazing Heights of Abraham, where a cable car travelling over the Derwent Valley, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape, while reaching the hilltop park where you can have guided tours down the Great Masson Cavern. Take a trip to Hardwick Hall or Bolsover Castle for a great day out. For something different you can always use the leisure centre called The Arc with a gym and swimming pool in Clowne. A trip to the bustling city of Sheffield is a must, where the stunning Sheffield Cathedral will amaze you with the 15th century tower and wood ceilings, learn about the local history at the Weston Park Museum or the Kelham Island Museum, and take a stroll around the Sheffield Botanical Gardens after a spot of lunch in one of the many fabulous independent eateries. Enjoy a holiday to remember with your loved ones at Hazelmere Cottage.

    Perhaps a support handrail bar in the shower for us older folk?

    We found the road very busy and noisy at night and early morning. The owner had thought of many extras at the property such as hand wash at all the sinks, kitchen roll and lots of essentials you would normally need to get. The heating was difficult as very chilly to start with so a simple message to the owner and she put it on. It would have been easier to control at the property as some days we needed the heat when arriving back and we were cold and other times particularly mornings we were hot. Overall a very successful holiday.

    When using the bath there is nowhere to put a tablet of soap, shampoo etc. so a dish or bath rack should be provided . In addition there were no handrails provided to assist in getting in or out of the bath. The walk in shower was nice but the glass side panel is too short and it was impossible to use the shower without soaking the floor. The floor was not designed to be a wet floor because there was no floor drain installed so some consideration should be given to better containment of the water from this shower. I would also point out that the shower base was completely flat with no anti-slip grooves or pimples in the surface which made it very slippery. Finally the towel rails were unheated and we therefore had to hang our towels out everyday to dry them off. Fortunately it was very hot and sunny so they dried perfectly but they definitely would not have dried had we left them in the bathroom without heating. On a couple of evenings, after a really hot day, the temperature dropped suddenly and it would have been nice to have had some means of heating in the lounge. All in all we enjoyed our stay but I'm not sure that we would whole heartedly recommend the cottage to our friends which is a true test of how we felt about it
