What's your passion? Walking, cycling, history, nature, food, UFO's, canoeing, climbing, luxe cinema, theme parks, , kid mayhem or cocooning?
Indulge it all at from Weavers Cottage in the beautiful village of Bonsall. We have high speed Wi-Fi broadband and off-street parking.
Bonsall is a pretty, unspoilt village, linked to the famous Limestone Way path and blessed by two great pubs, a cafe-restaurant and a fantastic new village store (open seven days a week).
It has two atmospheric and spacious bedrooms, a galleried study/play area, dining area , luxury bathroom and kitchen.
You can explore the region by the network of footpaths or strike out by car or bike to the nearby historic attractions such as Chatsworth Hall, Haddon Hall and Arkwright's Mill, a World Heritage Site, or let loose with the kids at Gulliver's Kingdom, Heights of Abraham or our very own "Play Mill" down the hill at Cromford.
Bonsall is famous for UFO sightings (the pub does occasional tours!) and we now have an uber-cool sofa/lounge cinema "Northern Lights" at Wirksworth.
Eat in or out on the dining terrace with only the sounds of farm and wildlife for company, or stroll to one of the village pubs. There are too many other good eating options in nearby towns and villages. Serious walkers, climbers and cyclists have endless choices beginning at the doorstep or from points across the National Park.
