About this property

Chatsworth 7 miles, Bakewell and Matlock 5.5 miles. This lovely stone terraced cottage is located in the picturesque village of Birchover. Laced with character and pretty décor, this retreat has plenty of charm for families, friends or couples to enjoy. Enter through to the lounge which is home to a wood burner, perfect for a cosy night in or simply resting on the sofa or arm chairs as you please. Off from the lounge you move into a well equipped kitchen/diner with a table and chairs ideal for enjoying those home cooked meals. A bathroom also conveniently rests on the ground floor with a freestanding bath and a separate large shower. Wander up the winding staircase to the first floor which hosts two bedrooms. The first being a king-size with stylish bedding and a great place to relax and read a book. Why not rest outside when the weather is pleasant; and conveniently there is a door from the kitchen to the rear paved area containing a table and four chairs, perfect for summer evenings. The village of Birchover is certainly worth a moment of your time, with its two pubs, historic attractions and neighbouring villages. There are endless opportunities for walking in the immediate area and the wider Peak District. As well as maps and guided walk books, bespoke guides to circular routes from the cottage front door are also provided. Matlock offers a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a series of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Just 7 miles away is the stately home Chatsworth House, featuring stunning gardens, a cafe and restaurant. Alternatively, the market town of Bakewell offers a good range of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as local farmers' markets. There is much to enjoy in and around the area of this lovely country cottage.

The village of Birchover is believed to once have been used by Druids as a ceremonial worship site. There’s a rock formation called Rowter Rocks, with caves and carvings, prehistoric monuments and stone circles. Just 5 miles away, the town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the late 17th century. In the opposite direction is the market town of Bakewell, and a little further beyond lies Chatsworth House and Park.

    The log burner was a real bonus. When we arrived there was a cake and some milk left by the owner. Information on walks and places to go. Overall a lovely stay. Would stay at cloudberry cottage again.

  • Phillip

    Very clean with a high quality interior and nice garden. Owners are friendly and polite and communicate quickly if required. Birchover is a quiet village but has two good pubs. Not far from larger towns for amenities and there are many local attractions to visit.

  • Rita

    Beautiful cottage. We give the cottage 5 stars for comfort, interior and essentials, everything has been thought of in detail. We’d stay again.
