Turpins Cottage is in Blackbrook, near Belper. It's a big, old stone building that used to be a coach house and stables for the farm next door. It's detached, so you've got it to yourselves.
It sleeps eighteen people. Nine bedrooms, five bathrooms. It's got a 3 Star rating, so it's clean and comfortable but not fancy. Some of the ceilings inside are huge barrel vaults from when it was a coach house, which is a nice feature.
Outside, there are flagstone terraces and the place looks out over a little wooded valley. There's a two-acre paddock and a play field that comes with it, and plenty of parking.
It's about two miles from Belper town centre. Belper has shops, pubs, and the Derwent Valley Mills, which are a World Heritage Site. The formal river gardens there are nice.
For days out, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are about a twenty-minute drive. Bakewell is roughly the same. Matlock and Matlock Bath, with the cable cars and the Heights of Abraham, are maybe fifteen minutes away.
Facilities: it has wifi, a TV, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There's a games room with a pool table and table football. Bedding is included, and we can provide a cot and highchair. We allow up to three well-behaved dogs. There's a BBQ outside.
