About this property

This delightful end-terrace cottage sits on Scarthin in the heart of historic Cromford overlooking the mill pond, close to Matlock Bath, on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Cosy throughout, and offering a welcoming atmosphere, this Cromford cottage is a wonderful choice for couples or small families looking to explore this captivating region of Derbyshire. The accommodation sits across three floors, offering elevated views over the village mill pond, and boasting character features with the beamed ceilings and a lovely inglenook fireplace housing a gas woodburner-effect fire, perfect for cosy evenings in listening to records on the vinyl player. Outside this Cromford cottage is a raised, enclosed garden area, which is accessed by a steep walk, from where views across the village rooftops to the surrounding hills beyond can be enjoyed. Cromford offers a variety of shops and pubs, along with wonderful walking and cycling routes that lead out into Derbyshire’s picturesque countryside. Take time to visit the World Heritage Arkwright Mills and treasured Chatsworth House to uncover this area’s captivating history. Gulliver’s Kingdom is well worth a visit for a fun family day out, and for those who seek a thrilling day out to remember, a trip on the Heights of Abraham cable car is a fantastic way to experience the incredible sights across the treetops of the Peaks and only yards from the cottage is the famous Scarthin Books. This lovely Cromford cottage is the perfect place to spend a varied holiday, at any time of the year.

Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent and surrounded by wooded hills and cliffs, the village of Cromford lies just 1 mile from the vibrant spa town of Matlock Bath, and 3 miles from Matlock.

    It's only one digit (a T that should be a 7), I advised the cleaning lady/keyholder via phone upon departure. It would be helpful if there was a folder containing all the information required instead of laminated sheets pinned around the building, this could also contain all the local maps, leaflets etc. The heating came on every morning notwithstanding how hot the building was, this seems such a waste as we had most of the windows open. I didn't want to mess about with the settings in case i caused a different problem? Having said all the above we would willingly return and would recommend any of our friends and family likewise.

    It is in a great location, very handy for local amenities and travel links.

    Also the duvet is very thick and might be a bit too warm in high summer - is there a thinner / lower TOG alternative in the wardrobe?
