Description

Little House is an amazing barn conversion set amongst a cluster of cottages in a peaceful little valley nestling in the rolling hills south of Matlock. As soon as you get there you will realize that this is a very special place. The open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen surround a central double-sided log burning stove. The vaulted bedroom with a quiet reading area and balcony looking out over the fields is incredible. The terrace, balcony and patio are ideal places to have a glass or two while admiring the stunning views.  

This is the perfect base from which to explore the numerous local attractions. The High Peak Trail is great for walkers and cyclists. Carsington Water with its water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill. The lovely historic town of Wirksworth with heritage railway, heritage trail, quirky Northern Lights little cinema and many a pub and restaurant is just ten minutes drive away. Belper's award-winning market town in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor is another must-see.

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 gritstone edges and country pubs galore.

Lovely cottage,real home from home,with lots of extra touches to make our stay special. Our elderly dog was comfortable too. Plenty of things to do and see with out having to travel too far each day.Views where great to wake up too each morning.Thank you.

Mr B,

We had an amazing stay at Little House...the house has everything you need. It's the most relaxing area and we will definitely be back

Miss A,

The host was amazing and all her little touches made the stay so fantastic and personal. Little House was beautiful and the location was perfect - we came home very relaxed and will definitely return.

Mrs C,

Absolutely beautiful holiday home. It was absolutely spotless and lovely welcome gifts for ourselves and our dog, Bonnie. It was just what was needed, peace and quiet but so lovely to hear the sheep and cows plus the bonus of tawny owls at night. We can also highly recommend the Bear Inn that’s local due to its gorgeous food. Will definitely be recommending this beautiful place to people.

Mrs S,

Such a great holiday spot with everything provided for both humans a dogs! The lovely starter pack was very welcome. The accommodation was spotless and very well maintained. It was also nice and warm. The views were spectacular and local walks plentiful. The local pub was as also very good. We had a great time.

Mrs W,

Beautiful house in a wonderful location. Very thoughtful & friendly host. Nice touches like a superb welcome pack.

Mr F,

Really lovely little house, well appointed, owner very friendly and welcoming.

Mrs B,

The owner was lovely welcome gifts fir humans and dogs

Mrs T,

Little House is an absolutely first class accommodation. The house was furnished to a very high standard and cannot be faulted in any way. We have been using holiday cottages now for almost 15 years and this accommodation ranks extremely highly. The unique selling point is the veranda. Looking out to the fields of cattle and the small wood makes this a stunning feature. We enjoyed sitting outside in the almost total silence and feeling the light breeze in the sunshine. Situated in lovely countryside not too far from Matlock Bath, I would thoroughly recommend this property. Also, Val the friendly owner left out some very nice edibles on arrival that were a nice touch. In summary, it has to be 10/10.

Mr S,

Beautifully well equipped cottage in an idyllic rural setting. Owner is extremely friendly and goes above and beyond to make her guests stay as enjoyable as possible. The welcome tray is a lovely touch. A great place to relax and unwind.

Mr P,

The property and services were outstanding. Attention to detail was second to none.

Mr S,

An excellent property with everything you could ask for. Beautiful views from property. Welcome trays above and beyond - one for us and one for our dog. A lovely place to relax and unwind.

Mr K,

We stayed at Little House for a week and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing break. The house is comfortable and well equipped, and the view from the balcony is superb. It is also ideally situated for a number of attractions, and there are numerous walks in the area. The owner made us very welcome and the 'welcome tray' that greeted us on arrival was a lovely touch. We will be returning.

Location

ALDERWASLEY

Alderwasley is a sleepy little hamlet in the hills south of Matlock. There are walks galore in lovely rolling countryside. It is a bit less busy than parts of the Peak District yet it is still very easy to get to many of the local visitor attractions. The National Tramway Museum, Carsington Water, the Heights of Abraham and the Midland Railway Centre are all within a 10-minute drive.

Little historic Wirksworth is the nearest town, with all its lead mining heritage, where jumbles of cottages and a network of alleyways create an award-winning heritage trail. A lovely market square, small independent shops, the Northern Lights micro cinema, the Star Disk, the Ecclesbourne Valley heritage railway and Le Mistral restaurant complete the picture.

Belper in the UNESCO Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor is nearly as close. Its designation reflects its Industrial Revolution links that are evident throughout the town. There is the historic North Mill, lots of historic cottages and cobbled roads, an interesting heritage centre, beautiful Riverside Gardens and an award-winning market street. George’s Fish and Chips are the best around!

Local pubs - The Malt Shovel between Alderwasley and Wirksworth, the Royal in Wirksworth and the Black Swan in Idridgehay.
