This gorgeous three-storey Grade II listed property is located in the pretty village centre of Cromford, steeped in history and offering plenty of amenities. Sympathetically restored and lovingly cared for, the cottage blends modern comforts with a real sense of history – note the fascinating wording adorning the staircase! The cottage is within 0.25 mile of pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes. There is a fabulous bookshop just around the corner and a beautiful mill pond where you can often see swans and ducks. Venture down to Cromford Mills, just half a mile away, and discover some great shops or take a stroll by the canal for a nice flat walk. Close to High Peak Trail and Black Rocks, venture out on foot and enjoy the adventurous and extremely picturesque walks right from your doorstep, or head just one mile away to Matlock Bath, where you can enjoy ice cream parlours, fish and chip shops, cable cars and more!

Absolutely lovely cottage in a gorgeous setting. Comfortable and clearly well looked after. The local shop sells amazing bacon and eggs, Scarthin Books is a lovely place to pass an afternoon, and that's just the attractions within 2minutes. Steps up to the seating area in the garden (with a view over the rooftops) are steep and uneven so bear that Read morein mind if you'll struggle with it, but there is a railing and the view is worth it - a real sunspot in the mornings.

Overall we had a good stay. The cottage was really lovely but missing a few touches that would have made the stay perfect. No welcome pack seem mean. Loading and unloading on that busy road was fun but we were ready for that and not too bad in the end. The busy road was a bit noisy at times. Nice to have off road parking. Cromford is a lovely villRead moreage. It's a short walk to the Boat down Scarthin Rd. Highly recommended. We ate there on their Pie and Steak nights. Fantastic value food. The local shop was well stocked and we had some massive rolls(cobs locally) made up. We had a couple of lovely walks from the door and Matlock Bath is a long stroll away. Buses to further afield are only 2 per single fare. Hide

Lovely accommodation set out over three levels with all the local amenities within walking distance. Busy road at the front that makes unloading and loading a bit tricky, but only downside to location.

Wonderful time had in your lovely cottage - thank you! Felt right at home. The Boat Inn steak night & really friendly fish shop were a treat. There is so much to do in the Peak District we wished we could have stayed longer. Really recommend Calamine Cottage as the perfect base. Thanks again. We have made some treasured memories.

We loved the cottage and access to the Peak District attractions was perfect. The village amenities were great:- Local shop, Pub, Fish & Chip shop etc. We didn't use the rear garden of the property as we felt it was too risky with the steep stone steps even though we are not frail!
