About this property
Historic Cottage in a Traditional Mill Village
Located in Cromford near Matlock in the Peak District, the cottage dates from 1765 and offers a relaxing and tranquil holiday setting away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Steeped in history and part of the Derwent Valley world heritage site this beautiful cottage was once a local lead miners home. It became known as Tinsmiths Cottage because later occupants made pots and pans for the village.
Please note: Last minute short stays are welcome, but please give at least 3 days notice so that the cottage is at its best for you.
The cottage accommodates up to 6 people, has a spacious oak beamed lounge, dining room, two toilets and well equipped kitchen.
The ground floor houses the kitchen and dining room with a large table and six chairs, and a highchair for those who require it. You will find the shower room with downstairs toilet leading off this room. Note that there are a few steps to access the downstairs toilet and shower room.
Up a gentle staircase a large family bedroom, with its double and two single beds, is just right for a family where the children prefer to share a room. There is a simple room divider in the family room if you need it. The double bedroom is great for those who want more privacy or just a cosier room. Both rooms have wardrobes and chests of drawers so that guests can feel at home during their stay. There is a toilet with a sink on this floor, too.
The comfortable lounge has two settees and a large armchair providing plenty of seating for everyone, with a coffee table, a TV, a DVD player and a selection of family films. Books and board games are also available for all age ranges.
Outside, there is a small private patio complete with seating and a barbecue. The patio is not fully enclosed and opens onto the public footpath which runs past the property.
There are plenty of dog walking opportunities nearby and there is a small playpark for children within very close walking distance.
