About this cottage rental
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.

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!

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.

Just a short walk down the hill takes you to Belper. Mill, river Derwent, antiques centre, independent shops, fab restaurants and pubs. House has all you could need. View on the loo is the best.
Would be happy to stay again

Quaint cottage on the edge of Belper, near to Strutt's Mill. Very spacious comfortable rooms with everything we needed. Even though it's on a main road it was very quiet at night and during the day we were out anyway. We enjoyed sitting out of an evening in the little paved well stocked side garden. Parking wasn't a problem and I found the best place to leave my car was just opposite on the entrance to Lodge Drive. The location is ideal for Crich Tramway Museum, the excellent new car museum at Ambergate and for Cromford, Matlock, Matlock Bath and Chatsworth. Loved it all. One of my favourite areas to stay. Thanks very much.

Lovely character period cottage
Stunning cottage which is a 5 minute walk from Belper Town centre. Belper is a gorgeous little town with many cafes, pubs and shops. Also a great location for Alton Towers. The cottage is very well equipped and oozes charm. It was ample size for my husband, two children and I. The owners are very accommodating with a great line of communication. I highly recommend this charming cottage - a real home from home!
Thanks for having us, Roy and Anne.

Short family stay
We stayed in Belper for 3 nights as a very last minute trip. Lovely cosy cottage with lots of nice little thoughts for families and young families too. Communication with Roy was easy and straight forward and he was very helpful.
The check in was so easy.
Would love to come back with a bigger party and plan our trip better to enjoy more longer walks in the area and make more of the places to eat around.

VISITING FAMILY IN LONG EATON
The cottage is beautifully presented. It was cosy and a home from home feel. The layout was great with 2 sitting rooms which allows for people to do separate activities. The bedrooms were spacious and the bathroom was large. Long Eaton was within easy reach and it was great to see our son and partner with their new baby, our beautiful granddaughter. We would recommend this cottage and would return again
