Description

Pearson's But and Ben is an utterly wonderful holiday retreat, nestled in a picturesque valley on the edge of the Peak District National Park. It has been interior designed with superb attention to detail in its furnishings, decor, colours and textures - it just oozes quality throughout its spacious accommodation. With two en suite king size bedrooms, the property is ideal for two couples holidaying together but also welcomes families.

Surrounded by lovely countryside with fantastic views down the valley to the hills beyond, “Pearson’s” is converted from a former farm building, attached to but totally private from the adjacent farmhouse. At lambing time, there will be sheep and lambs in the barns to the rear. The cottage has a lovely rural setting yet the charming town of Wirksworth is just five minutes' drive away with its heritage trail and railway, range of local shops, pubs, restaurants and even a small cinema. The High Peak Trail, which is great for walkers and cyclists, passes close by and Carsington Water with its water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill.

There are also lots of other Peak District attractions in the surrounding hills. Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside prom is not to be missed. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the Derwent Valley. Venture beyond famous Bakewell and you are in the real Peaks with sparkling rivers, picturesque villages, incredible views from the grit stone edges and country pubs galore.

Reviews

This is a stunning property. Perfect for a quiet retreat, lots of books and games are provided and the view of the valley is spectacular.. very quiet scenery and a great stepping off point for the peak district. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time and will likely be back again.

Mr C,

Overall, the cottage is lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable, and the shower wonderful. The current seating arrangements in the lounge do not fully meet the needs of two couples - there is only one 2 seater sofa, and a couple of individual chairs. The area adjacent to the kitchen is great for meals.

Mr B,

Where do I start!? A gorgeous rustic stone cottage with modern and traditional elements set in picturesque surroundings. The tad bumpy uphill drive to the cottage next to fields dotted with sheep adds to the fun and laughter. Everything from the crockery, to the cookware, the furniture, fixtures, gorgeous hardwood floors, the bedding and mattresses were of extremely high quality. The mattresses were zero gravity of clouds of fluffy softness ☁️

Ms N,

A little piece of heaven. It was wonderful to arrive at the cottage, unlock the door and walk through to an immaculately presented space for us to be staying in. We loved the kitchen and dining area/conservatory. The beds were so comfortable and the bed linen very soft. We sat outside and listened to the silence. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant in Wirksworth. And we spent a whole day at Chatsworth House which took all day to see as much as we could. We won't come back because we have so many other places to explore, but we will remember the day we arrived. It did not disappoint and we have recommended the cottage to our friends.

Mr R,

A well equipped comfortable cottage.

Mrs W,

Loved our stay and would go back again

Mr F,

A beautiful and very comfortable cottage with a fantastic outlook in the heart of the countryside. Ideal for anyone who is looking a a bit of seclusion.

Mr M,

The cottage was all we could have wished for. Modern, clean and comfortable. There was a welcome gift of a bottle of wine along with crisps and biscuits upon our arrival. The area had plenty of places to visit and things to do all relatively local and numerous places to eat and drink. This was our first holiday for a number of years and it didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful holiday at the But 'n' Ben and would certainly recommend to others.

Mr D,

A charming and comfortable cottage in a stunningly beautiful and very peaceful location on a steep hill farm. Perfect for three (as in our case) or four adults. Rooms are very well appointed, and the beds are extremely comfortable! A few minor remarks: the state of cleaning on arrival left something to be desired (cobwebs everywhere, food debris and broken glass in dishwasher filter, hairs in shower drains) - from this and the visitor book, it looked as if we were the first guests for a while and it hadn't been cleaned on the day of our arrival. There were only just enough glasses and cutlery, so we had to wash up/run the dishwasher frequently (only 5 teaspoons!). Finally the photos may give the impression that shower gel is provided, but it isn't so remember to bring your own. But apart from that, this is a lovely property and very well situated to explore the southern half of the Peak District National Park. We had an excellent week here.

Mr R,

Beautiful cottage and very well equipped. Amazing view and we all enjoyed many spectacular walks. Thank you for the delicious welcome cake and wine. Xx

Party of t,

Wow! What a truly amazing cottage, everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect. Lovely views, comfy beds, well equipped and friendly neighbour. Thank you x

Previous Customer,

The cottage was very clean and cozy. We have enjoyed our stay, the owner was very supportive and cooperative and timely responding.

Mr Fahad Z,

The property has everything you could want. Well located in a quiet area (despite the local quarries) but only a 10 minute drive from Wirksworth which has most of the amenities you could want. The cottage has been fully renovated to a very high standard and everything you could need is provided. The contact for the cottage (Karen) could not have been more helpful after we experienced a direct lightning strike during our stay!

Mr H,

We sought a high grade cottage, hoped it would be in a lovely area and accessible to exploring the east Peaks area, expected it to be very clean, comfortable and with all mod cons... and we were delighted it was all of these!

Ms Louise J,

The cottage was very clean and cozy. We have enjoyed our stay, the owner was very supportive and cooperative and timely responding.

Mr Fahad Z,

Location

WIRKSWORTH

The historical small town of Wirksworth with its imposing stone buildings, maze of alleyways and narrow streets lies on the southern edge of the Peak District. 

The town was founded on the lead mining industry, dating back to at least Roman times, but the Industrial Revolution was the basis for the town’s prosperity.  Sir Richard Arkwright built Haarlem Mill in the town and this is considered to be the mill in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss.   

Visitors to Wirksworth will be spoilt for choice for things to do.  The spectacular StarDisc – a modern stone circle star chart – is situated high above the town and illuminates the constellations.  A must-see on a clear night.  The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, based in Wirksworth, is Derbyshire’s longest heritage railway running to Duffield through a lovely, unspoilt valley and the Wirksworth Heritage Centre tells the story of Wirksworth and its people.

The picturesque market towns of Matlock and Bakewell are within easy reach and it’s also just a short drive to magnificent Chatsworth House or the more homely Haddon Hall.

Local Pubs: Miners Arms, Carsington.  Hope and Anchor, Wirksworth
