Tucked away in the centre of the beautiful village of Bonsall, this perfect ‘chocolate box’ hideaway has been expertly turned into a secret haven by the owner’s keen eye for interior design and renovation. Exquisite soft furnishings and furniture, along with a cosy woodburner, add to the charm and character. With two double bedrooms (one spacious and one more compact), Penny Cottage sits detached, directly on the Limestone Way where you can experience charming fields, dales, caves, cliffs, gorges, woodland and riverside paths along the route. Bonsall is a village of 1000 inhabitants in the Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District and has a long history of lead mining, possibly going back to Roman times, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Bonsall inhabitants have been involved in the textile industry, pre- and post-Arkwright. In early modern times it was on an important salters’ route, and was a staging post on the road between Derby and Manchester. Situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park and just a short drive from the famous Arkwright Mills at Cromford, Penny Cottage makes an ideal base from which to explore the region’s attractions. Matlock and Bakewell are close by, as is the picturesque village of Crich with its fantastic Tramway Village, while majestic Chatsworth House and Carsington Reservoir, with its sailing centre, are well worth a visit. After a day exploring, sit in the beautiful garden with a glass in hand as the sun sets over the tree-lined fields. Tearoom 400 yards, award winning pub serving food less than half a mile. Supermarkets, pharmacies etc. in Matlock, approx. 4 miles away.

We had a wonderful stay at Penny Cottage. It’s a beautiful little cottage that’s been thoughtfully decorated and feels cosy from the moment you arrive. The location is fantastic, tucked away in a lovely village but perfectly placed for exploring the Peak District, with plenty of great walks and attractions just a short drive away. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the garden after a day out.The owners were excellent throughout, checking in to make sure everything was okay and providing helpful information before and during our stay, which was really appreciated. We also thought the cottage offered great value for money. We’d happily recommend Penny Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable base to explore the area and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
