Newly refurbished 5 bed riverside house with traditional features and annexe

A unique, newly renovated, riverside, 5 bedroom holiday home.

This stunning property is located right on the river Derwent, on the boundary of the Peak District National Park in Darley Bridge. Just a short drive from Matlock and Matlock bath.

It is the perfect location for relaxing and watching the world go by after a busy day exploring the many trails and peaks in the area or even for fishing on our private stretch of river, or launching a canoe / kayak for a leisurely river cruise down to Matlock.

With off street secure parking for 3 cars, this property is perfect for a large family or a group of friends and is pet friendly too.

We have our own private stretch of river with fishing rights of approximately 50m up to the bridge, after the bridge you can also fish for free but is owned by an angling club so is not private. Rod license is required but fish include: Trout, Grayling, Chub and Roach.

The property is split between a 3 bedroom character property maintaining it's unique, traditional features and internal access to an adjoining self contained 2 bedroom modern annexe, both refurbished to a high standard. This property would be ideal for two families to rent the same property whilst also having your own space.

Delightful riverside house
We really enjoyed our stay in these combined cottages which have been refurbished to a high standard. The setting beside the river is lovely - saw kingfishers and herons. Beds v comfortable, bathrooms good. Worth mentioning that all bedrooms are up stairs, but our party, whch included 2 with walking difficulties managed fine. We are very likely to come back

Children loved the river setting and kayaking. Houses were so well equipped. Outdoor seating by the river, maps, books, games and TV Saw kingfishers each day. Super place. Road quite busy, but disturbed our sleep very little. So many positives about the house and area outweighed the road noise.

Special birthday get away
We stayed at this wonderful house in May 2024 to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday. As a party of 8, we had both properties and everything was immaculate and so well thought out, even the provisions for our dog. The area is beautiful and I would recommend this to anyone to wants some peaceful away time to relax and chill. Daniel was very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely return for a longer stay :)

Riverside House
Both sides of the house were very well maintained and the location on the river made for a very lovely setting. House utensils and furnishings were very well-equipped. Only complaint - being from Southern Africa we do enjoy cooking outside. We found that the outside and particularly the BBQ equipment could have been better maintained. We found the 2 x Webers to be very dirty and the outside area not well-maintained. This may have been due to the time of year and the recent bad weather but we feel more should have been done. All in all, a very enjoyable visit and would recommend to others.

Great house for multi generational group. First rate modern furnishings and equipment. Managed to walk directly from the house both days we were there in beautiful scenery. Only negative is it’s beside a busy junction and haulage business which can be quite noisy.

Beautiful home away from home
It was our family's first Christmas all together in over 10 years whilst staying here. The house is so comfortable and well equipped for a big family gathering, beautifully finished with such a clean, warm homely feel with thoughtful finishing touches. The house is situated right on the river in the lovely countryside and just a couple minutes walk to a local pub with friendly staff and locals. It was such an idilic home for Christmas time and cannot fault our stay at all. Thanks for playing a bit part of such a memorable Christmas!

Great Family Venue
Hired both properties for a family celebration. All three generations were impressed with the facilities. Fishing & Sky access was great for the youngsters and the adults could enjoy time together in the larger kitchen or have chill time in either of the two sitting rooms. Loads of attractions to explore in the area.

A brilliant property
We had a wonderful stay - 3 families coming together for a week. Having the 2 properties adjoining each other was brilliant and access to the river provided hours of entertainment for the kids (and Dad's!). A great location to Matlock, Bakewell & Buxton meant we never had to travel far to have another fabulous day in the Peak District.
