A quaint little market town with a charming rural feel that offers a nice assortment of stores, eateries, and bars in addition to regional farmers markets. The town's historic market hall dates back to the 17th century, and a contemporary recreation facility with a pool is close by.

Within reasonable driving distance are Britain's top theme park, Alton Towers, as well as the rocky Black Peak and the softer limestone White Peak. The spectacular caverns in neighbouring Castleton and Little John's burial site in Hathersage are both well worth a visit, as are the other stately homes to be visited, including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall to name a few.

Lovely location. Ample facilities. Close proximity town, but far enough away. Our only criticism is Sykes directions to the property. They give a what three words location to use but that takes you to a camp site. So we then used the postcode and that takes you down a lane with a sign saying it is not the cottages, clearly plenty of people end up there. This is not what you need after a 5hr journey. Thankfully the camp site owner helped us out.

The cottage is well equipped and great selection of TV channels. One small point is the bathroom sink taps squeaks badly and is very annoying.

Swimming pool excellent would benefit from improved signage on water depth. Table tennis and pool enjoyed by grandchildren. Recommend pie and quiz evening at local pub. Very friendly and helpful maintenance man.
