Ivy Dene is a lovely, double-fronted cottage in the attractive village of Crich. It is furnished and decorated to a superb standard with quality furniture and soft furnishings throughout its extensive accommodation. With a lounge gathered around a log burning stove, fantastic kitchen, three bedrooms, two with zip and link beds, two bathrooms and a cloakroom, it is a superb holiday retreat.
Crich is a wonderful village full of local life. Set in the village square, the cottage is a short stroll to the village pubs, bakery, restaurants, local butchers, general store, post office, pharmacy and a popular fish and chip shop. Just a short 10-minute drive away, you have Matlock and the beginnings of the Peak District or Belper and Cromford in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor.
There are lots of things to do around Crich, wandering the lovely footpaths, visiting the Crich Monument with views over five counties, exploring Wingfield Manor with its links to Mary Queen of Scots or even catching a 2d ride at the National Tramway Museum. But don’t forget the myriad of other visitor attractions that are close by like Chatsworth House, Hardwick Hall, Haddon Hall, the Heights of Abraham cable cars, Castleton’s spooky caverns, the Derwent Valley dams and the Great British Car Journey is a must!
