Property code: PK939

Located on the banks of the River Derwent and with the far-reaching views of Curbar Edge less than 2 miles away, the pretty village of Calver truly does represent the best of the beautiful Peak District. Stay in this traditional stone cottage and embrace the beauty of the local area, venturing out on day trips to historic Bakewell and fascinating Eyam or exploring the dramatic landscapes at Froggatt Woods. At the end of each and every day, you can come home and stay in comfort, truly appreciating this family property that happily sleeps eight guests and two dogs.

Steeped in history and yet lovingly updated to host a modern family or group of friends, this property truly does offer the best of both worlds. Unique features including beamed ceilings, a stone flagged fireplace and a classic range cooker have been paired with stylish decor and ever-comfortable furniture. Flock to the lounge to enjoy cosy evenings in, throwing a log or two on the wood burner and planning your next day’s adventure. You’re also welcome to unwind of an evening in the private courtyard, a sunny spot with furniture and a BBQ. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find four inviting bedrooms laid out on the first floor, each offering a lovely spot in which to catch forty winks.

From easy-going walks in Froggatt Woods (2.5 miles) to the more challenging route of Curbar Edge (1.5 miles), this property is in a prime position for keen hikers. Enjoy a relaxing walk along the banks of the River Derwent (0.5 miles) or perhaps an afternoon of fishing, always heading home via the village pub for a swift one. The majestic Chatsworth House (4.5 miles) is a riveting day out for all the family, as is an underground tour of the fascinating Peak Cavern (11 miles).

Lovely cosy cottage. Really well equipped, but take slippers in the winter for the tiled/wooden floor to really feel the benefits of the fire. Would definitely stay again.

The Old Bulls Head is a fantastic little cottage, very cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable week away. The beds are super comfy and the living areas very comfortable to relax in. The kitchen has everything you need and we found the oven really easy to use once you get used to it. The cottage is in a great location to explore the PeaksRead more with most places never more than a 20-30 min drive. Thoroughly recommend this lovely cottage!! Hide

Beautiful, clean, spacious house with cute little courtyard at the back, ideal for our group of four couples and two dogs. Good location to explore the Peaks, we walked to Eyam one day, plenty of other walks from the door, ate at Derwentwater Arms (good for meat eaters but very average for vegans with three main courses, but no starters and only thRead moree ubiquitous sorbet for dessert), also had brunch at the Eating House which was superb. Minor negative was very soft mattress in master bedroom. Hide

A beautiful holiday home in a lovely village location, with 3 good pubs within walking distance. Surrounded by lovely scenery with lots of walks, some directly from the property. The house was well stocked, very clean and comfortable. Cooking on the range was a new experience!

Old bulls inn was an excellent property, loved the character of place which the owners have maintained, there was eight of us staying and there was plenty of room, car parking was good easy enough space for three cars. The owners had thought of everything to welcome you with, coffee, biscuits, crisps, for the use of the barbecue with the coal to usRead moree, this we did use with the weather being so nice. Excellent holiday thank you. Hide
