Fishermans Lodge is in Whatstandwell, right on the River Derwent. It's a single storey, converted stone barn, so everything's on the same level. It's detached and private, with its own little stretch of meadow going down to the river. You can fish from the bank there if you have a license.
It sleeps two. One bedroom, one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's clean, comfortable and warm. There's a wood burner in the main living area. The kitchen is part of that same room.
The A6 road isn't far, so you'll hear some traffic. It's handy for getting about, though. There's a pub and a shop about a mile away.
For things to do, Matlock and Matlock Bath are a short drive south. Matlock Bath has the Heights of Abraham cable car and caverns. North, you've got Cromford and the Arkwright Mills. Carsington Water is about ten minutes away for walking, cycling or sailing.
The big historic houses are all within half an hour. Chatsworth is one direction, Haddon Hall the other. Bakewell is nearby too.
Facilities: there's parking right by the lodge, a dishwasher, TV, and a patio area. Bedding and towels are included. You can bring one dog.
