Rock Cottage

About this property

Rock Cottage is a detached stone property in the heart of the pretty village of Carsington, Derbyshire. With its original features and huge appeal, this much loved cottage offers a home from home for couples, families and four-legged friends. Come back from your countryside pursuits to a woodburning stove and plush sofas to relax away from it all. Throughout, the tiled floors, soft rugs and the original wooden doors that have been restored with care give a feel of tradition. You'll find a dining room and well-equipped kitchen to ensure you can eat together in style and comfort in between outdoor activities. In the evening unwind with a steaming bath and head to rest in one of the beautifully-presented bedrooms. Behind the cottage garden, there is a large area of mixed woodland full of birdsong, wild flowers and the odd badger. A fabulous place for relaxing with your favourite cuppa and a good book. Footpaths lead in all directions from Rock Cottage: will it be to Carsington Water, pub for you and the dog? Drive up to Matlock Bath and head to Gulliver's Kingdom for a fun-filled day, take a tour of The Great Masson Cavern and The Seafood Cave & Grill. A stone's throw away is the famous Peak District National Park with its plethora of nature walks, sweeping views and stunning sights. Take some impressive pictures at Harboro Rocks, stroll along the wide and beautiful plains of Minninglow and marvel at the beauty of Lumsdale Waterfall. Rock Cottage is a perfect base to visit the wonders of Derbyshire and the Peak District.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
