About this property
This spacious late 1600s, semi-detached cottage which forms part of a traditional range of farm buildings set around a courtyard is on the northern side of the Golden Valley next to the village of Riddings, providing a fantastic base for families and those with pets. This lovely, traditional home from home is full of charm and has four comfortable bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities. Downstairs there’s a cosy sitting room with low ceilings and oak beams where you can relax at the end of the day, a spacious dining room again with low ceilings and oak beams and a lovely farmhouse style breakfast kitchen with quarry tiles, beams and a Belfast sink.
There’s a lovely cottage garden to the front and side, perfect for a barbecue and chilling out in the sun. A really fantastic feature of this cottage is it has a paddock and field with walks all the way down into the valley which means you can step out the door and walk into the valley without ever going near a road. Quite amazing when you think it’s situated very conveniently for the local shops, eateries and real ale pubs. Take a stroll around Codnor Park Reservoir, jump on a steam train at the nearby Midland Railway Centre, or even try your hand at carp fishing.
There’s a good golf course nearby and plenty of attractions with Matlock, Bakewell and Chatsworth all within easy reach. A superb cottage that you can enjoy at any time of the year.

The cottage is a great size and perfectly accommodated 6 people for both Xmas day and Boxing day dinners. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal with. The bedrooms are large, with 2 rooms having ensuite toilets. The cottage felt so cosy, inviting and warm and was decorated for Christmas in readiness for our stay. Great communication from Dave the host regarding directions and arrival times. I would absolutely book again.
