Holly Cottage

Alfreton sits in North East Derbyshire, within striking distance of the Peak District's moorland and dales. Holly Cottage is a converted stone barn on a livery yard, offering four guests their own space across two bedrooms and a bathroom. One well-behaved dog stays free.

Downstairs you get a living room with Freeview TV and an electric woodburner, plus patio doors onto a garden with furniture and a large patio area. The kitchen/dining room has a full range of appliances including a dishwasher and washer dryer, leaving you free to cook proper meals or keep things simple. Upstairs, one bedroom has a double bed and the other two singles; the bathroom has a bath with shower over. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. The property takes two cars and has a bike store for exploring locally.

This corner of Derbyshire puts you within reach of Matlock Bath, Chatsworth House, Crich Tramway Museum and the various halls scattered through the valleys. A pub is within a mile. The garden includes an unfenced pond, so take care if small children are visiting. No smoking inside.
