The village
A village around a lake, not a row of cottages
17 stone cottages, the Darwin Hall and 20 acres of woodland, all a short walk from the water.
Find your way around
Every cottage is named after a hall, castle or village of the Derbyshire Peak District. Groups come back because you are together without being on top of each other.

Fly around the village
Over the lake, the cottages and the woods. You'll understand the place better than any page of text can manage.
The place
Built from Derbyshire stone, watched over by ducks
The village sits in 20 acres of grounds and woodland at the edge of Darwin Forest, Two Dales, Matlock. The lake is stocked for coarse fishing, and Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Bakewell are all within twenty minutes.
You may also recognise it: the village was a filming location for ITV's The Neighbourhood with Graham Norton.
