About this property

Boasting original features with exposed stone walls and beams throughout, The Cottage welcomes six guests, for both friends, and families alike, to relish the ultimate getaway to Derbyshire. Enter this stunning property to be impressed by the light and airy décor, accompanied by a well-equipped kitchen hosting high-quality appliances. Sit back and unwind over a hearty meal to be enjoyed at the spacious dining table with a bottle of wine or two, curl up in the homely sitting room in the warmth of a woodburning stove and click on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows or movies. If you prefer to make the most of your surroundings, step outside and wonder up the path to an enclosed courtyard and relish a late-night tipple with your other half as the sunsets over the neighbouring countryside.

When the stars appear, retreat to a stylish shower room to wash away the day ahead and after clamber into a plush double bed; with the addition of another double bedroom, as well as two singles the cottage caters for all sleeping arrangements. A stone’s throw away from here, discover the stunning National Trust Property and park called Calke Abbey. Take a relaxing stroll along the Staunton Harold Reservoir or travel to Melbourne Hall and Gardens where you can traverse the grounds of a regal family manor and delight in a picnic. Further afield, journey to Derby where the Derby Arboretum and Markeaton Park reside, in addition to a plethora of pubs, restaurants, bars and cafes where you can refuel before resuming your adventures. Thrill seekers will appreciate a day out at Alton Towers, whereas walking enthusiasts may prefer to explore a wealth of walking, hiking, and cycling trails that pepper the expanse of the Peak District National Park including Bamford Edge and Jacob’s Ladder which offers imposing views over the surrounding valleys. Whisk your loved ones away on a fun-filled break to The Cottage at 36 Main Street in Derbyshire.

Ticknall is a quiet village nestled in the south Derbyshire countryside, boasting beautiful walks through the neighbouring National Trust Park of Calke Abbey, a lovely local village shop and three pubs the Chequres, The Staff of Life and The Wheel Inn. Melbourne is a small, Georgian market town in a delightful part of South Derbyshire, on the edge of The National Forest. It is about 8 miles south of Derby, and has a good range of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The town is also home to the church of St Michael with St Mary, which is on the site of a much earlier Anglo Saxon building, and is regarded as one of the finest Norman Parish Churches in the country. Swadlincote is also 8 miles north; there is much to enjoy in the town including a lovely relaxing walk, through rolling South Derbyshire countryside, starting from Melbourne’s medieval marketplace. Two of the county’s gems, Melbourne Hall, and the Parish Church of St Michael’s, are passed in the early part of your stroll. Make the most of this attractive location all year round.

    The accommodation is really homely and has everything you might need. Was also a very thoughtful Welcome Pack, including something for the dog. There was even a hose in the secret garden to wash down our very muddy dog after walks! Laurence was really friendly and quick to respond to any queries during initial settling in as well as offered great recommendations. Both pubs, within walking distance, were very friendly yet very different. The people in the village couldn’t have been more friendly. The main road is surprisingly busy but did not detract from our stay. Great walks locally and plenty to see further afield too. Melbourne Hall and Pool walk is well worth a visit, as is Calke Abbey and Foremark Park and reservoir. We would definitely be back!

    Quality equipment in the cottage with everything you need for a pleasant stay .Table set on arrival with a complementary bottle of wine .Tea bags and coffee and a enough wood for the fire on the first night all a welcome touch. Well designed and decorated. Plenty of walks around the Calke Abbey estate 10 minutes away . Great communication from the owner.

    It is tastefully and calmly decorated. We stayed there over Christmas and the the cottage was so well equipped we were able to cook Christmas dinner with ease. Plenty of plates and cutlery, decent equipment. Although situated on the 'Main' road it is quiet inside and felt private. I would recomend this cottage.
