Step into history with a stay at this luxurious Grade II listed eighteenth-century workers’ cottage built under Sir Richard Arkwright and set in history-rich Cromford. Cromford itself is host to several cosy pubs and restaurants (0.3 miles), as well as a world-famous book shop, art gallery and local amenities. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage of Cromford Mills less than half a mile away, where you can find some unique and independent shops, enjoy a wonderful walk by the canal, and visit the Mill itself that’s brimming with history and great shops. Matlock Bath is also less than half a mile away, where you can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, arcades and ice cream parlours, an aquarium and more. Black Rocks (0.6 miles) is a stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and can be accessed via foot or by car and boasts a lovely scenic walking trail.

What a lovely cottage with lots of character and a delightful garden. It was spotlessly clean, all the furnishings were of high quality and beautifully presented. She provided everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible with every detail considered. The owner was very helpful and lovely to speak to. We couldn't have wished for a better stayRead more. There was a thoughtful welcome pack left for us. We all loved it. It was situated very conveniently for all the places we wanted to visit. Hide

Lovely cottage, well-equipped and with a fabulous garden at the back which enjoys a fine view. Even though it was August it was a bit chilly so we used the wood-burning fire, and the kitchen had all we needed except a beer bottle opener! There is lots to do in Cromford and there are lots of splendid walks in the vicinity.

We had a lovely few days in Brandywell. The place is stylish, well kitted out and a joy to stay in. The location is great too with lots of interesting things within ten minutes drive (such as the fabulous Scarthin books). The communication from the owner was fast and helpful. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in Brandywell Cottage. Rachael is a great host, has put a lot of effort into making the house comfortable and stylish.

What a delightful cottage! Lovely designed interior with some nice touches. Well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and luxury bedding. Sitting in front of the log burner at night was super cosy and seeing the amazing views from the garden with the fire pit going outside was pleasant too. We couldn't have asked for more and the host was very helpfulRead more. We can't wait to go back! Hide
