About the host
Hosted by Alex
We’re Mark and Alex, originally from Staffordshire. After several years living in Edinburgh & London, we settled in Derbyshire to start a family and enjoy village life. Mark runs a local building company, while Alex manages our holiday rental and sells vintage childrenswear. We love welcoming guests to our little corner of Derbyshire and helping them enjoy everything the area has to offer. Over the years we’ve hosted guests visiting for weddings, graduations, sports competitions and family get-togethers, and we’re always delighted to provide a comfortable place for people to relax and make special memories together.
Why they chose this property
We’ve lived in the village for over 20 years and raised our two (now nearly grown) children here, so it’s a place that means a lot to us. What we love most is the balance it offers — peaceful village life with space to breathe, while still having excellent transport links to the major cities of the East Midlands.
It’s a friendly community with an award-winning local pub and lovely canal-side walks right on the doorstep. And when you’re in the mood for even more open space, the beautiful Peak District is just a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
We designed our home based on our own experiences as guests. After too many stays drinking wine from tumblers and discovering board games with missing pieces, we decided the small things really matter! Our aim is to create a space that feels welcoming, comfortable and genuinely well equipped. From a kitchen stocked with the things you actually need, to carefully chosen games and books for cosy evenings, and beds that help everyone sleep well — everything has been thoughtfully considered. We hope it’s the kind of place where you arrive, settle in easily, and simply enjoy your holiday.
