Warmly welcoming two furry friends and offering guests a wonderful home set over three floors, this is not to be missed if you are seeking a peaceful retreat right on the edge of the Peak District. Upon entering the cottage, you'll be greeted by a lovely cosy lounge moving into an open kitchen/diner.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll find a contemporary shower room, equipped with a walk-in shower, offering a refreshing space to prepare for the day ahead. Continuing on the first floor you'll discover an inviting spacious super-king-size (or twin) and moving upwards to the second floor a relaxing king-size, both offering a serene retreat for a rejuvenating night's rest. Venture beyond Middleton to a host of local attractions. Prepare yourself for a mesmerising view as you voyage to the Heights of Abraham via cable car, and explore the heritage of The Great Masson Cavern.

Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of The Peak District. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Independent shops sit alongside the deli, butchers and bakers with a strong local food ethic. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards of the Puzzle Gardens, along with the Heritage Centre and the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is fantastic walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival in May. There is also an annual Arts festival with an amazing Art & Architecture Trail in September, showcasing contemporary art and international performers of every kind. With an art deco independent cinema and a range of places to eat there is plenty to entertain. The town offers a leisure centre with a climbing wall and a small trainer swimming pool, The Eco Centre, The National Stone Centre and the Mount Cook Adventure Centre. The weekly market and monthly farmers' market provide local produce and crafts. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath, with its spectacular cable car, the heritage Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only two miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday.
