Home description
Brook Cottage was built in 1720, originally for lead workers and later for local cotton weavers. It is built from the attractive local gritstone and has many original features including stone mullioned windows, large gritstone fireplaces, exposed beams and floorboards.
Nestled at the foot of a steeply wooded valley, the cottage lies adjacent to Bonsall Brook and close to the river Derwent. Guests can enjoy far reaching views of dramatic scenery from the upper terraces of the garden, or relax over a glass of wine on the attractive limestone patio just a few steps up from the kitchen door.
Set over three floors, Brook Cottage provides a cosy and comfortable 'home from home' for up to four people. The cottage has been carefully restored and retains many period features, whilst also offering an excellent standard of accommodation with good quality furniture and comfortable beds. There is a steeply terraced garden with far reaching views from the top. The accommodation briefly comprises: Living room with woodburning stove. Kitchen/dining room. Ground floor cloakroom with two piece suite. Boot room. Two good-sized and attractively furnished bedrooms (one double, one twin). Bathroom with three piece suite. Gas central heating throughout with hot water on demand. Prices are inclusive of all linen and towels, gas and electricity.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Peak District/Derbyshire region
Situated in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales and on the southern edge of the beautiful Peak District National Park, a holiday here is nothing short of a walker's paradise. There are many spectacular hill and dale walks to choose from within a short drive of the cottage, amongst them Dove Dale and Lathkill Dale. You will discover many pretty and unspoilt villages where you can enjoy an afternoon tea or a pint in the local pub after your walk or perhaps you will be lucky enough to discover a village which is celebrating its Well-Dressing Festival, for which Derbyshire villages are famous.
Cyclists too will be spoiled for choice with several traffic-free cycle routes to choose from - the High Peak Trail starts in Cromford, whilst the Tissington and Monsal Trails, the Manifold Track and Carsington Water (offering a circular route) are all close by. Cycle hire is available nearby, both at Middleton Top (2 miles away) and Carsington Water.
The fine historic houses of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Tissington Hall are a short drive away. Alton Towers, Bakewell (home of the 'Bakewell Pudding') and the fascinating caves at Buxton and Castleton are all within reach.
Matlock / Cromford area
Cromford is the perfect base for a holiday at any time of the year, whatever your interests. Set in the beautiful Derwent Valley, the village occupies a stunning position. With a river, a canal and a brook all running through it and surrounded by attractive wooded hills and rocky limestone outcrops, Cromford offers endless scenic walks. Add to this its good range of local amenities, including a traditional and well-stocked general store, newsagent, butcher, chemist, post office, pubs serving food, tearooms and a restaurant and you have every reason to hang up your car keys for the duration of your stay!
The village - a World Heritage Site - also has much to offer visitors in terms of historic interest. Sir Richard Arkwright built the World's first water powered cotton mill here which now houses a museum, a range of craft shops and a tea-room/restaurant. Many of the village houses date from Arkwright's time and the former millpond, with its working water-wheel, is a focal point in the village.
The neighbouring Victorian spa town of Matlock Bath offers a number of tourist attractions, most notably the Heights of Abraham, with its cable car ride and hilltop caverns, and Gulliver's Kingdom - a children's theme park. The small and interesting town of Wirksworth, just to the south of Cromford, is well worth a visit too, especially during its popular Arts Festival in September. Also close by is Crich Tramway Museum, which is a great family day out.
How to get there
Cromford is easily accessible by car both from the north and the south. It lies just off the A6 and is a 20 minute drive from the M1 motorway (Jn 28). Cromford has its own railway station (limited services with connections to Derby) which is within easy walking distance of the village.
