Belper, situated in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now you'll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. There is a thriving local music and arts scene and the town hosts an annual Arts festival every May as well as Winter and Summer Food festivals and a monthly Farmers Market. The nearby historical village of Wirksworth is also home to a well-established Art and Architecture trail and Arts Festival every September. Just 10 miles away, the popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House - not to be missed! The award-winning town of Belper provides holidaymakers with an excellent base for all that Derbyshire has to offer.

The lodge is clean and tidy. Has a large number of kitchen supplies. Towels for the bathroom supplied and bath robes too. Weâd received a message to say there was hot tub towels but found out this was incorrect. Ami kindly however supplied some for us when we explained. The private road to the property is very bumpy with pot holes. Not great for low cars. However a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Loved the small touches like the late check out, bottle of wine and bag of crisps that were provided. The cot and high chair provided for my baby were excellent quality and he slept really well which is great as he can be quite fussy. Rooms were really clean and great facilities, a large fridge and separate large freezer were very welcome. Great location for walking into Belper. The grounds around the lodge were lovely, with sun loungers provided and a cute seating area. Possibly could have done with a little more info/instructions on how to work the shower in the main bathroom, the oven and the tumble dryer as these were quite fancy and we struggled to get them to work. Overall a fantastic stay and perfect for our needs.
