Cupboards with games, jigsaws, lego, colouring pens and books , local info and walking maps. Wifi, television and radio available. I believe this is a great place to make time for yourself, friends and family, a place to relax, a place for romance. The cottage has 2 generous double bedrooms, (1 with a kingsize bed), a bright dining kitchen and a downstairs shower room/toilet. The kitchen opens to a good sized, fenced in, south facing back garden with patio , lawn and flower beds. It is quite private and great for al fresco dining and a dog. The cottage is located on the edge of Crich Village, near the Stand and Tramway museum. There are lots of public footpaths nearby. Lots of off lead walks for dogs. Crich itself is very picturesque (featured in the television series Peak Practice as the village of Cardale) and has everything you need within a 15 minute walk : 2 pubs, convenience store, lovely bakery /tearoom, traditional butcher, Indian restaurant, fish and chips , post office and even a hair dresser/ beauty salon! Crich is only a 15 minute drive from Matlock Bath with restaurants, (esp Fish and Chips), Tearooms, Musea, Gullivers Kingdom, the Heights of Abraham and lots of small shops. The peak district and historical sights like Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall, Keddleston Hall, Haddon Hall and many more are all well less than 1 hour drive away. Even Alton Towers is only about 1 hour drive. There is information on lots of tourist attractions, local restaurants and walks available at the cottage.

It's even more beautiful than the pictures, and the host was so easy to reach if we had any questions or concerns. As an American we were a little nervous because it is a small local village, but everyone there made us feel like locals and were very welcoming when they met us. Can't recommend this stay enough, already talking about staying here next year. ##### The Blue R. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry B.

The cottage was very warm and cosy one of the best we have stayed in. The garden was perfect for our 2 whippets to safely zoom around in. The owner was very helpful and answered all our questions about checking in etc. We would love to return in the summer to enjoy the garden in bloom. Thank you ##### Steven S.

Jun 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cottage and location A great little cottage which is bigger on the inside than the outside suggests. Lounge comfortable and kitchen/diner extension spacious and well equipped. Good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. Ideal for dog owners with walks nearby and beyond. The nearby tramway museum is superb with it's recreations of a Victorian village.The next-door neighbours were very friendly and helpful. A couple of minor issues: the steps at the front could do with a handrail and the fittings for the curtains are flimsy and collapsed on a couple of occasions. ##### Alan J.

But on opening the door I was absolutely delighted to find a fresh, clean and light little cottage tastefully decoratrd and we'll appointed. Two hugely comfortable bedrooms easily negotiated stairs, a perfect kitchen and a working shower - the decor is so lovely with little touches of Germany (schoen) Fizz glasses, good sized pans and lovely crockery.

Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Recent Get Away To Crich My first communication I had was from our booking site telling us to check in after 3:30pm. Then we received an email from the host stating we could check in after 2:30pm. We arrived to the property just after 3:30pm to find the front door open and the host still inside cleaning. We weren’t able to really unpack until 3:45pm when the host left… There was rubbish left in the bin and a mug left on the draining board for us to dry and put away. We were informed there were towels in the property, we could not find this no matter how hard we searched. We were told there was a night light for the bottom of the stairs, it took us until our last night to find it on top of a high shelf. Overall, the property was nice and for a quick get away, it was lovely… especially with the large garden for the dog to play in. Property is close to multiple extractions such as the Crich Tramway Museum which is just around the corner. Lovely area to stay and we would come back to the area again. ##### Sarahh B.
