Groom's Cottage, Belper, Derbyshire
1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2 plus Cot

 

This charming character stone cottage is situated in a secluded spot and is ideal for that romantic get away. It is in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site and is a mile from the historic mill town of Belper.

Grooms Cottage overlooks a wooded dell and adjoins a 2-acre paddock and play field with parking. The Black Brook trout stream runs alongside the paddock, (children under supervision please), and fun fishing is welcome, subject to locally-obtainable River Licence.

Grooms Cottage is close to many footpaths and bridleway trails: you might wander up to the Depth of Lumb: saunter along the nearby packhorse trail and lead-miners Portway (still traceable all the way up to Castleton in the High Peak); and wander a few furlongs south to the wooded gritstone Chevin Hills, the very last outpost of Englands Pennine backbone. Belper’s formal River Gardens (summer Sunday brass-bands!) and Visitor Centre are around half a mile, down by the town’s historic Mills. It is well positioned to visit all the attractions of Amber Valley and The Peak National Park.

  • Exposed beams. Spiral staircase in the entrance ( unsuitable for the infirm ) with a double bedroom and shower room. Stairs lead down to open-plan kitchen, dining area and lounge. Patio door to decking and BBQ. The cottage overlooks views of a stream, paddock and woods.
