Holiday cottages in Derbyshire

Derbyshire is situated in the heart of the picturesque Peak District, making it a wonderful destination for a staycation break.
The attractions are endless, but a trip there should not go by without a visit to the World Heritage Site within the Peak District National Park. This is situated across a 15-mile area from entrancing Matlock Bath to the county town of Derby, and comprises the Derwent Valley Mills – where the modern factory system of cotton spinning began in the 1700s.

One of the joys of holidaying in a self-catering cottage is the flexibility it offers, meaning you can spend all day exploring the charming villages and towns, then dine in hearty style at a traditional pub – talking care not to doze off in front of the open fire!
It is a good idea to time your Derbyshire trip to coincide with the year-round programme at the magnificent Buxton Opera House. Built in 1903, this lovely building hosts all manner of events.

The kids will love the chance to explore a real cave – in Castleton you can take an underground boat in Speedwell Cavern, or count the stalagmites in Treak Cliff cavern or the Blue John Caves. Whether you are looking for a relaxing cottage break with superb views, or something more adventurous and sporty for the family, the potential and opportunities in Derbyshire are almost endless.
