Region: The ultimate in "year-round" appeal, the Peak District offers countryside, picturesque villages and magnificent scenery. It touches upon six counties and encloses 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, and wooded dales.
Town: The village of Baslow lies at the north end of stately Chatsworth House - home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The village has many unusual and picturesque features including a triple-arched river bridge guarded by a toll house whose doorway is only 3 1/2 feet high! Baslow offers a range of village amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants. Close by is Bakewell, the capital of the Peak District, and home of the famous Bakewell pudding (definitely not tart!), still made locally to an old and secret recipe. Bakewell is at the scenic heart of the Peak District, and with Alton Towers also within easy touring distance, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy.

We've stayed at this cottage on several occasions. The village is lovely and the local area has lots to do and see and we return again and again to the area. The cottage itself is very cosy, has a well equipped kitchen and an excellent bathroom. It also now has the added advantage of wifi, which is really useful. As per a previous reviewer, there was also no toilet roll provided and I don't know if the cleaning regime has changed but some of the kitchen cupboards were a bit sticky! Come prepared with some basics, however the Spar shop next door is handy, well stocked and open until 8 pm and there is also a very convenient and excellent Spar at Calver crossroads (highly recommend Charli's Chooks eggs).
One point to note is that there is now a large fan (for the air conditioning in the shop) situated directly by the front garden area. As the weather was very warm in the week we stayed, this was running at full speed from 7.30 am for a while and also generally from mid afternoon until just before the shop shut. I do find this kind of noise quite intrusive and felt unable to use the garden or have the cottage door open when it was running. A real shame as we were hoping for a quiet week to escape from noisy neighbours and a similarly noisy pool pump.
So no longer a top score from us and we will look to stay somewhere in the area but quieter next time.

Gorgeous!
We absolutely loved our stay in Clematis Cottage! For such a tiny house, it has so much room and the layout is perfect. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is a really good size. The village is perfectly situated to be able to visit all over the Peaks, whether by foot or by car so no matter what your holiday aims are, this is the perfect place to stay.

Delightful cottage in amazing location
What a lovely cottage! In a charming village with great access to everything you need including the unmissable chatsworth house! We would also highly recommend the Italian in the village, which served delicious food and seemed very popular! The cottage itself was spotless and had been presented beautifully, fab bathroom and was perfect for 2 couples with 2 really good sized bedrooms. Our only criticism is that the basic essentials were a bit lacking in that we had no hand soap in the bathroom or kitchen and we had to buy our own toilet roll, but I doubt this is normal and I'm sure was just a slip up. The shop next door was well equipped and very handy being open until 8pm. Overall we feel we scored lucky with this cottage and would love to return!

Doorstep to the Peaks
This charming cottage ideally set in the village of Baslow for exploring the Peaks. Numerous walks from the doorstep including Chatsworth House and its grounds. Many attractions within a 30 minute drive and Sheffied only an hour away.
The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard but still maintains the charm of an old cottage. It was clean and well decorated throughout.
The kitchen was well equipped, the two bedrooms were spacious and the rolled top bath was an added luxury especially after a long walk!
The sitting room was welcoming and had a gas fire wood-burner ideal for those chilly Autumn nights.
There is a small well stocked and well used village shop next to the cottage but in no way interferes with the peace and quiet of the cottage.
I would definitely recommend a stay at Clematis Cottage.

Lasting memories!!!
We have always loved the Peak District and in particular the area we stayed at. It was a very comfortable/cosy base to explore the area e.g. walks to Chatsworth and walks around Baslow, meals out as well as cooking in and visits to nearby towns eg Bakewell, Buxton
The owners, David and Christine made us feel very welcome with complimentary wine, bread and milk. They were friendly, accommodating and warm without being intrusive. Lovely hosts!
A totally relaxing and pleasant experience which we will definitely be repeating. Thank you David and Christine.

First class
This delightful cottage lives up to the pictures. The twin beds are so comfortable, every room has been furnished with loving care - things look nice and are comfortable to use. Having the owners next door meant we could ask anything without feeling we were being a nuisance.
This is the best location you could ask for - walking distance into Chatsworth House and park, an excellent shop open all hours and nice pubs to walk to. We only used the car once during our stay. This is probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

Warm welcome in snowy conditions
The house is very well equipped and it is conveniently placed next door to the local Spa who are also the key holders. The house is wonderfully warm and cosy. A range of Dvds / games are provided. The bedrooms are a good size. The bathroom is clean with separate shower and large bath. Parking is not a problem at all and there are lovely walks from the front door. Local pubs/shops are within walking distance.

A Derbyshire delight
We really enjoyed our week in Clematis Cottage which is small but comfortable and very well equipped.The owners were welcoming and handy if needed as they own the shop next door. Baslow itself is a lovely village and well placed for visiting local places of interest or for walking. Our only criticism is that the fan for the shop is situated right outside the double bedroom window which made this room unusable for us as my husband is susceptible to noise. We could hear it in the twin bedroom but did manage to shut it out. We appreciate this is not the fault of the owners but perhaps guests should be warned beforehand so that they can decide if it would affect their stay.

Country village living
A lovely cottage in a beautiful village which is close to Chatsworth. Walking from the house or catching a bus to Bakewell means you don't need to use the car every day. This was ideal for the two of us although the stairs are a bit steep for older people or small children but a very quirky cottage. Lovely bedrooms and bathroom appear to be bigger than downstairs.
