Golconda Cottage

Golconda is a charming old farm house that has been totally refurbished to an incredible standard. Behind its mellow stone walls, it has been interior designed retaining stone flagged floors and oak doors but then adding lots of modern features. The lovely furniture and drapes and the incredible use of colours and textures creates warm, calming and luxurious accommodation. The lounge has an amazing log burning stove. The dining kitchen is superbly fitted. The two en-suite bedrooms with king-size beds are to die for. You will find all the fluffy towels in the superb shower rooms.

One of our favourite pastimes is to sit at the top of the field behind the house with a good book and just drink in the wonderful view. But nearby Brassington is worth exploring. It’s a lovely village with a jumble of cottages across the hillside, two great pubs and lovely walks through beautiful countryside. Carsington Water has wild water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching all just a ten-minute drive away. Close by historic Wirksworth is a super little town where you can explore its heritage trail and railway, range of local shops, pubs, restaurants and even a small cinema.

Set in the glorious Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District National Park, you must visit Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside prom and nearby Cromford Mill in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the Derwent Valley. Venture over towards Chesterfield and you will find amazing Hardwick Hall, Bolsover’s brilliant castle, Grassmoor’s Country Park and even Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest.
