Step inside and be welcomed into a bright and airy open-plan living space, complete with a Freeview TV to entertain while you relax on the easy chairs or sofa, and a dining table to gather around for a delicious meal. The kitchen area is home to all you need for a self-catered stay, pick up some local produce from one of the delis in Wirksworth and get cooking with the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, with dishwasher for an easy clean-up! Head upstairs to find the master bedroom, which has a metal frame king-size bed and more lush views from the window, as well as a twin bedroom up here, both served by the excellent bathroom with a bath and rainfall shower over. Head into the town of Wirksworth and discover its vibrant and historic past by riding the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway travelling through Derbyshire's unspoilt countryside, stargaze using the StarDisc stone circle star chart, which illuminates the constellations at night, venture into the winding Puzzle Gardens and browse the many independent shops and businesses lining the narrow lanes and intricate alleyways. Take a walk up to Black Rocks, which involves a short but steep climb to reach some incredible views over the surrounding area. Take a guided tour around Cromford Mills, a water-powered cotton mill from the 19th century, home to a wealth of local history as well as a café and a shop. The town of Matlock Bath is within easy reach and boasts a great many attractions, most notably the Heights of Abraham which will see you take a cable car up to a hilltop park where caverns, walking trails and fossil exhibitions await, or if you don't enjoy heights stay closer to the ground and wander around Matlock Bath Aquarium, not only home to 50 species of fish but also a famous Carp collection living in an old Victorian swimming pool, and one of the largest public displays of holograms in Europe. If you're a family of thrill-seekers then head to Gulliver's Kingdom and enjoy the rides, rollercoasters and amusements in this family theme park. Guests are near the wonderful Peak District National Park as well as Carsington Water where a host of watersports can be enjoyed too. Stay at Wren Cottage and enjoy a trip to Derbyshire to remember.
