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.

It was a warm and relaxing place to stay. We arrived in the initial throws of an Autumn cold snap and the owner soon had the cottage cozy & warm. The sitting room has comfy chairs and a lovely open gas fire to cozy up to. A smart TV meant that we could keep up with our favourite programs. Kitchen is well equipped and a shopping delivery allowed us to eat very well. The stairs are very steep but I managed them with my dodgy knees, the bathroom is large, I do agree with other reviews that the shower is not well designed and does tend to make the floor wet. The bed is comfortable and we both slept very well. This was a working as well as relaxing trip for us, we were able to find everything we needed in Clowne, Creswell and Worksop. We enjoyed walks around the local area and Creswell Crags. We also visited Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall so it's a good base as well. Thank you for a lovely stay

The owner was really helpful and kept me informed. We had decided to complete Parkrun in nearby Clumber Park and spent the day there. After returning to the cottage we made our way into the town for a few drinks at the Black Diamond, where the staff were lovely. On the Sunday we spent the morning at Creswell crags which is a beautiful place to walk. Convenient place to say and provided everything we wanted.
