Find a holiday cottage to rent in a village in Derbyshire. A village location is ideal for holidaymakers who prefer to stay near amenities such as shops, pubs, markets and possibly a theatre or cinema. There are plenty of villages in Derbyshire that range from tranquil such as Hartington and Hope to lively Buxton, or Matlock.
Many of the cottages and houses in Derbyshire’s village are built of stone, some stand up to the pavement, others may be set back and have a front and back garden. It is usually a bonus to have a garden, especially for children to play in, but even all adult groups would appreciate a quiet place to sit and relax in the sunshine, evening drinks at sunset or the occasional barbecue.
