  • "Folds Yard was the perfect host for our weekend stay."

    We had a number of the properties booked for a wedding at the local village hall, which Folds Yard was in easy walking distance to/from. The accommodation is modern, clean, welcoming, and has everything you could want. We had a brilliant stay.

  • "We were extremely happy with Rowan Cottage."

    It was spacious, clean and well equipped. Sally was very helpful and told us of pubs and restaurants in the area and also of places to visit. We had an amazing time and had a perfect week of weather too which was a bonus. We hope to return sometime and will tell our friends. Thank you so much.

    Such a high standard and had everything you need. My daughter absolutely loved having the cows right outside and visited them everyday. Plus we got to see the new calf which was so lovely. Would definitely return. Thank you so much

  • "We had a lovely stay at this property, which is really beautifully furnished and located on a working dairy farm."

    David and Sally were excellent, attentive hosts and we would happily stay again. There are some issues at present with the drains which caused some nasty smells, but it appears the hosts are aware and working to address.

    Unfortunately we had to cut short our trip when one of our party had an accident. Sally and David were brilliant helping us deal with it, they couldn’t have done more, nothing was too much trouble.

  • "Absolutely stunning location and property is to a very high standard with everything you need inside."

    We absolutely loved our stay here and the space provided. It's a nice private location - we didn't really notice your on a working farm - with lots of cute towns and things to do nearby. The only thing to be aware of is the property is only part of the building with a couple more cottages adjacent however once inside you don't notice or hear any of the neighbouring properties.

Alderwasley is a scattered area of farms and a couple of local pubs located in lovely rolling countryside with undisturbed views for miles, on the southern borders of the Peak District National Park. Nearby Wirksworth is a small, charming market town on the edge of the White Peak, and is full of character, with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient "jitties" and courtyards, and the National Stone Centre, as well as the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is good walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival. The annual Arts festival attracts international performers of every kind. Close to Alderwasley is Belper which is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th Century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now a spirited and bustling town, attractions include the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Beautiful Chatsworth House, Shottle Hall and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath with its spectacular cable car, the newly restored Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom.
