Peaceful and unique, Frogmore is an exceptional holiday home, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a superb lounge with sumptuous leather sofas, an amazing kitchen and lovely dining area. Arguably one of Derbyshire's best-kept secrets, Frogmore's spacious and beautifully presented accommodation is in the owner's private manicured grounds with a landscaped garden, patio areas and views providing a picturesque and secluded setting.  

Darley Bridge, conveniently situated between Matlock and Bakewell, is set along the former Toadhole Turnpike Road with its ancient arched bridge and quintessential cricket ground. There are numerous scenic walks through woodlands and along the meadows bordering the River Derwent, not to mention the archery field, river rafting and charming traditional local inns, all a mere stroll away. 

Your strolls are bound to take you into nearby Darley Dale with local shops, tea rooms, Peak Rail's steam trains, historic Whitworth Park and the start of the Derwent Valley Heritage Way. If that doesn't make it something to remember, then don't forget that Chatsworth House and the multitude of other Peak District attractions are all just a few minutes' drive away.

Can't pick any faults at all. The cottage is obvioulsy well maintained and kept extremely clean between guests. All the equipment (and there was plenty of it) was more than adequate and easy to use - instructions on everything were available if required. We had five people in our group and there was ample space in the both the sizeable kitchen / Read morediner and the front room for us all to relax. The cottage grounds themselves were very well maintained and there was plenty of parking for our two cars - probably would have taken another couple without too much trouble. It is situated only 5 mins drive from the busy A6 (which leads to all desinations) but you felt miles away given the tranquility of the location. Owners basically left us alone but were on hand should we have needed anything (but I can't think what else you woud need quite honestly). Had a fantastic week and would love to return in the future.
