This gorgeous three-storey Grade II listed property is located on a traditional Derbyshire village road, leading to the pretty village centre that's steeped in history and offers plenty of amenities. Sympathetically restored and lovingly cared for, there's a blend of modern comforts, and a real sense of the history of the area within this property. Set in the village of Cromford, the cottage is within 0.25 mile of pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes. There is a fabulous bookshop just around the corner and a beautiful mill pond where you can often see swans and ducks. Venture down to Cromford Mills, just half a mile away, and discover some great shops or take a stroll by the canal for a nice flat walk. Close to High Peak Trail and Black Rocks, venture out on foot and enjoy the adventurous and extremely picturesque walks right from your doorstep, or head just one mile away to Matlock Bath, where you can enjoy ice cream parlours, fish and chip shops and find lots of gift shops.

Enter into the living room, where you will find exposed beams, shutters, an inglenook fireplace, Freeview TV with DVD player and a dining table, which fits perfectly by the window. This is a great gathering space, and the open format means that this very traditional cottage feels spacious and light. The small but well-equipped kitchen is just off from the living room. Head up the cottage stairs, taking time to notice the writing on the steps, which describes some of its rich history. You will find a shower room on this floor and a pretty bedroom hosting a small (4') double bed. Up another set of stairs is the master double bedroom with a wooden floor, ornate fireplace and a window seat where you can enjoy the view over the hills beyond.

The outside space is accessed via the door at the back of the living room, where a steeply terraced garden can be found. 34 uneven stone steps (with handrail), but well worth the climb, takes you to a seating area where you can enjoy the views of the hills over the rooftops and find yourself in a little sun trap on the right day.

  • 2 bedrooms: 1 double, 1 small (4') double
  • 1 shower room - shower and WC
  • Electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine
  • TV with Freeview and DVD
  • Inglenook fireplace with wood burner-effect gas stove
  • Off-street parking for 1 car nearby (unload at the door)
  • Rear courtyard with furniture, plus rear patio accessed via 34 steps
  • Shops and pubs 0.3 miles
  • Children over five years only
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00
  • Sorry, no dogs allowed

Lovely accommodation set out over three levels with all the local amenities within walking distance. Busy road at the front that makes unloading and loading a bit tricky, but only downside to location.

Great little holiday cottage in a beautiful village. Perfect location for exploring the area we enjoyed days out with the children at nearby Gulliver's Kingdom and Sudbury Hall. Everything was tidy and comfortable.

Wonderful time had in your lovely cottage - thank you! Felt right at home. The Boat Inn steak night & really friendly fish shop were a treat. There is so much to do in the Peak District we wished we could have stayed longer. Really recommend Calamine Cottage as the perfect base. Thanks again. We have made some treasured memories.

We loved the cottage and access to the Peak District attractions was perfect. The village amenities were great:- Local shop, Pub, Fish & Chip shop etc. We didn't use the rear garden of the property as we felt it was too risky with the steep stone steps even though we are not frail! The main issue was the busy road and the fact that we had a lot of Read moreheavy trucks from the local quarries speeding past starting at 4am. It was extremely noisy so early in the morning. Hide

Lovely cottage in the perfect location to explore the Peak District. Would recommend the Greyhound. Lovely staff and we had a great meal on our last night. Would also recommend the tiny Fish & Chip shop. Feeling lovely and relaxed. Such a shame it's back to normal life now! Many thanks.

You have a gorgeous cottage in a superb location! It was just a shame that it rained all week - well, most of it. We highly recommend the Boat Inn, especially on Wednesday steak night but you need to book. Also the best Fish & Chips are from the tiny shop, only open on Thursday to Saturday, though. Feeling well chilled out, many thanks.

This was the perfect place to stay for our week in this lovely part of the country. The cottage was well equipped and we slept well in the comfy bed. We enjoyed visiting Arkwright's Mill, Bakewell, Matlock Bath. A highlight was getting the train to Ambergate and walking back by the canal. Everyone has been friendly in the local shops and hostelriesRead more. Service and atmosphere at the Boat is exceptional! We are leaving with some great memories. Hide
