Waterfall Cottage

Lower Lumsdale sits in the Derbyshire Dales between Matlock and the landscape of mill ponds and waterfalls that mark the Industrial Age heritage of the valley. Waterfall Cottage occupies a converted barn within 16 acres of grounds, all on one floor with a kingsize bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a shower room with walk-in enclosure.

The living space combines an open-plan layout with oak beams and a wood burner; patio doors lead to a terrace with furniture and a barbecue, while steps descend to a grassed area that overlooks fields. The kitchen is properly equipped for self-catering. Electricity, bed linen, towels, wi-fi and logs for the stove are included. The grounds are shared with one neighbouring holiday let and contain a stream and ponds; there are steps around the property, so families with young children should note the water features.

A pub lies within a mile. The location suits anyone seeking countryside walking without isolation—Matlock's shops and attractions are nearby, as are the Dales' other visitor draws. Parking for two cars is on site, and no smoking is permitted indoors.
