Family Home | River Derwent | Hot tub | 10 guests

We are Taylor Holiday Lets, a local family run holiday let business, and we personally manage and care for every property we host. Being hands on means we know each home inside out and can make sure it is always well prepared for your stay.

We live locally and love the Peak District and surrounding areas. We enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here, whether that is recommending great walks, places to eat or family friendly days out. Our focus is on creating relaxed, comfortable stays where guests feel well looked after, without anything feeling over managed or impersonal.

We take pride in offering well maintained homes, clear communication and a friendly, responsive approach from booking through to check out.

We chose this area because of its peaceful riverside setting and the sense of calm that comes with being beside the water. Darley Bridge sits in a beautiful spot, with the River Derwent flowing past, green countryside all around and easy access to walking routes and nearby towns. It feels relaxed and scenic, yet never remote.

What we enjoy most is spending time by the river. Fishing on our own private stretch of the River Derwent is a real highlight, as is watching the many birds that visit the water throughout the day. Cormorants and other birdlife are regularly seen, adding to the natural charm of the setting. We have spent a lot of time at the property ourselves and love how the area changes with the seasons. It is a place that suits both active days exploring the Peak District and quieter moments simply enjoying being by the river, which is why we love hosting guests here.

What makes this property unique is its rare riverside position combined with space, privacy and flexibility. The house sits directly on the River Derwent and benefits from its own private stretch of river, offering fishing from the garden and a constantly changing natural outlook. Watching the water, birdlife and wildlife from the property is a real part of the experience.

The layout is also a key feature. The home is arranged as one large property with a characterful main house and an adjoining self contained annexe, connected internally while also offering the option of independent space. This makes it ideal for families, multi generation stays or two families holidaying together.

Added to this are features such as the large hot tub, riverside decking and lawn, and the peaceful setting, all within easy reach of nearby towns and countryside. It is a place that feels genuinely special and different from a typical holiday let, creating stays that guests tend to remember long after they leave.
