Character cottage (18c) on the edge of historic Belper

This charming 2 bedroom stone cottage was built circa 1790 and retains many original features. The ground floor comprises 2 spacious living rooms (4m x 4m). Adjacent to the kitchen is a lounge with log burner and the other is a lounge/dining room with the TV/DVD. The cottage is very close to the historic cotton mill / museum and river gardens within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site. Belper's award winning high street is a 15 minute walk away and just down the road is the Talbot (17c) restaurant / bar and the Tum Yum Thai Restaurant (basement of the early 19c North Mill) just over the bridge and mill weir. Walks from the river lead up to the Chevin overlooking Belper in one direction and the river gardens and nature reserve in the other.
The Derbyshire Dales and Peak District are a short drive away; local attractions are Cromford (Arkwright’s Mill museum, canal walks, etc.), Arkwright’s Masson Mill (discount shopping), Matlock Bath (cable car, gardens, etc.), Middleton Top (High Peak Trail) and a multitude of beautiful villages and walks.
The city of Derby with its Cathedral, Silk Mill, railway Round House and shopping areas, both ancient and modern, is 9 miles to the south. If you like a little more action Alton Towers is just 20 miles away - 35min drive.

Lovely stay
Great cottage, in a lovely town, with great walks. The cottage itself came fully stocked with everything you could need, including shampoo and shower wash, kitchen was also stocked up with tea and coffee, and fresh milk in the fridge, and all the appliances you could need. We were pleasantly surprised.

A lovely place to stay, I would definitely come here again. Such a cosy place, more spacious than I was expecting as well! Had everything you'd need in my eyes, definitely appreciated the milk in the fridge for us. The streaming services are also a nice touch, overall we really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Quaint cottage in great location.
It is the second time we have stayed at Roy and Anne’s cottage and we loved it as much as we did the first time! We checked in after a fun packed day at Alton Towers and stayed a couple of nights. Belper is a lovely town with plenty of pubs, supermarkets and cafes. It is a cross between Haworth and Otley. The cottage is always clean and warm. The hosts are always attentive and easy to communicate with. Tea, coffee and milk are provided on arrival and the facilities are plentiful- lots of tv channels, Netflix, games, books and more. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Alton Towers! Highly recommended.
