Overview
Property code: OC-DCBOBB

Perfect for a gathering of friends or family, this beautifully renovated stone cottage is set in the heart of Belper, a charming market town located within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Bursting with traditional charm, warm yourself in front of the cracking wood burner in the cosy lounge or enjoy al fresco dining moments in the pretty garden of this inviting home away from home.

The cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard, seamlessly blending contemporary comforts with original features. The welcoming lounge, with its comfortable sofa, armchair, and two easy chairs, is centred around a stone fireplace with a wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere for relaxing evenings. The bright and cheerful kitchen is fully equipped for all your culinary needs, with a round dining table perfect for family meals.

On the first floor, you’ll find two lovely bedrooms – a spacious double and a twin, both tastefully furnished for a peaceful night’s sleep. The stylish bathroom on this floor boasts a luxurious roll-top bath and a separate shower. The second-floor king-size bedroom offers sweeping views over the surrounding area, making it a tempting retreat after a day of exploration. The rear garden is a tranquil haven, with lush lawns and a furnished patio area – an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or outdoor dining. On-street parking is available during your stay.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Carsington Water is 10 miles away, offering water sports, cycling, and fishing, while the National Tramway Museum (6 miles) invites visitors to explore a recreated period village and take a nostalgic ride on vintage trams through the countryside.

This is a lovely cottage with a very pretty garden. It is well equipped with comfortable beds and a great bathroom. Parking is on the street outside but we always found a space.

Very disappointed with condition of cottage including faulty radiator in kitchen and one of the bedrooms (which also had none functioning ceiling lighting making it unusable). Overall maintenance and cleaning standard not acceptable ( old food in fridge,dirty tray in oven, cobwebs etc). Had to cut stay short as middle of winter. Small refund diRead mored not compensate for our special family occasion being ruined and cut short. For a cottage of this size and rent I would have expected a dishwasher. Hide

Very comfortable & clean property in the historic part of Belper. Comfortable bedding, nice shower, lovely cosy living room with log burner, great kitchen and well maintained back garden. Staying in the historical part of Belper is great, as you can walk to many shops, restaurants, pubs, and also out along the River Derwent or surrounding hills Read moreeasily. I grew up in Belper and enjoyed coming back! Highly recommend this property, and Belper in general .... Hide

A lovely comfortable cottage that is equipped to a high standard. Parking is an issue as the cottage is located on a narrow cobbled street and getting a parking space is a bit of a lottery. We paid to park on a car park that was 5 minutes walk away as we found that much easier. It was good to have Netflix on the large TV. The cottage is well appoiRead morented for the town centre and there are plenty of places to eat locally. Hide

Bobbin Cottage is a cosy yet spacious cottage in a central location, shops, eateries and public transport links all within walking distance. Belper is steeped in history and the cobbled street gives a sense of stepping back in time. The cottage is traditional but has everything you need for a family holiday.

Bobbin Cottage - a delightful place to stay with stylish interiors and a smart, well equipped kitchen.
