“Fabulous house and an amazing weekend!”
well where to start... when we arrived the hot tub was up and running, which is one thing we were worrying about as none of us had much experience with that kinda thing! the little welcome folder was helpful with plenty of info about the area and amenities etc, there was even some milk left for us so we could have a brew, the house itself was decorated and furnished to a very high standard, all lovely bedrooms no complaints there and as we were a young group of girls the bathroom situation wasnt a problem for us, the bathroom was brilliant... a nice bath and a great waterfall shower!
Now for the outside, even though the weather was obviously cold at this time of year we spent most of our time at the outdoor bar and in the hot tub... the hot tub was amazing, no rashes and no problems using it. The bar was our favourite part of the house and we decided our only negative and it isnt a negative really was that there were only 2 mirrors, one in the bathroom and one in the single bedroom with the pull out bed and that wasnt enough for 6 girls to all get ready for a night out for instance.
The location is good, not far into Belper in a taxi for anyone eating out or wanting to go to a pub either. Great views from the top floor bedroom especially to the rear of the house which looks over fields... we gained an extra friend over the weekend anyway, the friendly horse on the field at the bottom of the garden loved us feeding it apples in a morning. We can safely say we definitely celebrated our birthdays in style and would happily go back again.. infact we are already planning to in the summer at some point as this house would be the perfect place for a family break or a break with friends! We had a truly wonderful weekend from beginning to end!!

About the location
BELPER
Matlock 11 miles; Ashbourne 11 miles.
Belper, situated in the Derwent Valley, 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 you'll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Just 10 miles away, the popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions. 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! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House - not to be missed! The award-winning town of Belper provides holidaymakers with an excellent base for all that Derbyshire has to offer.
