Guests say

Pearson's But and Ben in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, is a highly praised cottage, celebrated for its exceptional standard, stunning views, and peaceful location. Guests have enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and the thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts. The cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the Peak District, with many noting the convenience for walks and local sightseeing.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is consistently described as very clean and well-maintained, with numerous guests highlighting its spotless condition. However, one review mentioned a less than perfect state of cleanliness upon arrival, which slightly impacts the score.

The location is frequently lauded for its stunning views, quiet environment, and accessibility to local walks and towns. The scenic surroundings and proximity to the Peak District contribute to its near-perfect rating.

Comfort is a strong point for this cottage, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy. A minor note was made about the second bedroom being a bit small, but overall, the comfort level is rated very highly.

Facilities are well-regarded, with the cottage being described as well-equipped and of high standard. A lightning strike incident and a comment on the quantity of cutlery and glasses suggest there is room for minor improvements.

Guests have expressed appreciation for the thoughtful touches, such as welcome cakes and wine. While these gestures are warmly received, it is important to note that such gifts are a bonus and not a guaranteed amenity.

About this property

Luxurious, modern and cosy, this cottage is absolutely stunning and a fantastic holiday retreat with glorious views of the Derbyshire countryside.

Pearsons is confidently one of the best cottages in Derbyshire. Snuggled in a beautiful little valley on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Pearsons is a great holiday retreat to relax and spend quality time with your loved ones. Inside has been totally refurbished to a brilliant standard and interior designed with attention to detail rippling throughout the cottage. The lounge is cosy with comfy sofas, cushions and a glowing contemporary log burning stove. The kitchen is spacious, full of character and extremely well fitted with everything you’ll need for your stay. A light and airy dining room with fantastic views, original and immaculately decorated bedrooms and a stunning, modern bathroom all make this cottage the perfect getaway. 

Sit on the patio to have your breakfast and gasp in wonder at the amazing views that are around you. Being surrounded by glorious countryside and views down the valley, the location of Pearson's But and Ben is simply fantastic. Wirksworth town is only a short drive away with its heritage trail and railway, an array of local and interesting shops, friendly pubs and restaurants and even a little cinema. If you’ve come for an active holiday then this is the place for you, with the High Peaks Trail nearby and Carsington Water with its wild water sports. Footpaths weave around the cottage leading you on some really great walks through the Peaks. If you are wanting to explore the rest of Derbyshire then you’re not too far from Matlock Bath with its cable cars soaring in the sky, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall or even pop to Bakewell one afternoon to sample it’s famous Pudding. On the way back to Pearsons, stop by one of the many friendly local country pubs for a pint before returning to the cottage to relax and reminisce about your day.

  • Mr Rossignol

    A little piece of heaven. It was wonderful to arrive at the cottage, unlock the door and walk through to an immaculately presented space for us to be staying in. We loved the kitchen and dining area/conservatory. The beds were so comfortable and the bed linen very soft. We sat outside and listened to the silence. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant in Wirksworth. And we spent a whole day at Chatsworth House which took all day to see as much as we could. We won't come back because we have so many other places to explore, but we will remember the day we arrived. It did not disappoint and we have recommended the cottage to our friends.
