Description

Woodside is a spacious Edwardian family house in the sleepy village of Windley, set in a secret little valley. Full of character, there are lime washed walls and some lovely original features. Kids can expend their energy on the trampoline in the garden and everyone can relax in the evening in the 'cinema room' set-up in the lounge.

Sit in the sunny conservatory or the terraced garden as it tumbles into the valley and you could be in the middle of nowhere. Inquisitive sheep will look over the fence and only birdsong will break the silence. Take a walk to the attractive woods nearby, ideal for games with the kids.

Ashbourne is a must with its lovely market square, country stores and many restaurants. Turn the other way and discover Belper with its award-winning high street full of interesting little shops. Matlock is just to the north with all the Peak District attractions in the surrounding hills - Matlock Bath's 'little Switzerland' gorge, Peak Rail's steam trains, magnificent Chatsworth House, picturesque Monsal Dale and the Derwent Valley Dams to name but a few.

Reviews

We had such a relaxing holiday at Woodside. The house was immaculately clean and very well equipped. We loved the welcoming atmosphere and the thoughtful touches throughout the house. It was lovely to have a really good selection of books and games, and the cinema screen was an added bonus. It was such a peaceful and quiet place to stay with everything you could possibly need. The owner was extremely responsive when we had a query. I would thoroughly recommend Woodside to anyone looking for a comfortable and restful holiday.

Mrs B,

Lovely large property for a family get together, plenty of space for everyone and very well equipped. Enjoyed family meals and games evenings at the large dining table. Beautiful views of the countryside and sunset from the rooms at the rear of the house. Walks from the house and lots to do within a short drive. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back. Thank you

Mrs K,

Beautiful setting, traditional cottage which was comfortingly warm and has great views of the countryside.

Mrs O,

If you like a quiet area with outstanding views in the garden, this is the place for you. Plenty of space and a good spot to be able to explore. Only consider if you have a car. The Owner has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable for all ages. Would definitely visit again.

Mrs J,

We felt that it was adequate but shabby. The property needs a lot of maintenance

Mr D,

The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and there were many places we could relax. The garden was beautiful and the views stunning. It was just a short walk (1 mile) to an excellent pub. Perfect location for a weekend away

Ms L,

Woodside is a beautiful, characterful family property. We found it warm, comfortable and well-equipped with plenty of space and provision for everyone from Granny to the grandsons!

Mrs B,

A simply fantastic house in a very peaceful village in Derbyshire. The views from the property are unspoilt and we felt very private. There are lots of nice touches around the house in terms of entertainment for example there is a home theatre projector in the main living room which connects to a proper stereo system for a truly sensational cinematic experience. This was in addition to a large TV in the smaller lounge. An acoustic guitar was also a nice touch. The Tiger Inn just a short walk up the lane was superb with a lovely menu and very friendly staff, highly recommended. We will definetly be back!

Jules B,

Location

BELPER

Belper is a lovely market town that has won market town awards because it is a place that really lives. There is a very attractive high street with lots of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, a great fish and chip shop and even The Ritz little cinema. But there are also supermarkets on the edge of town to provide for all your normal needs.

However, Belper’s real claim to fame is that it is in the UNESCO Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor, reflecting its Industrial Revolution links, which are evident throughout the town. There is the historic North Mill, lots of historic cottages and cobbled roads, the interesting heritage centre, beautiful Riverside Gardens and even the railway that appears from a tunnel under the town.

Take a day or two exploring all this heritage but remember that there are lots of other attractions nearby, ranging from Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall to Crich’s Tramway Museum, the Midland Railway Centre and Carsington Water. Save some time to go high up into the Peak District with its picturesque valleys, sparkling rivers, spooky caverns, wild moorlands and even the Derwent Valley Dams of ‘Dambusters’ fame where they tested the bouncing bomb.

Local pubs – The Nags Head, the King William IV and the Blue Bell at Farnah Green.
