This charming detached holiday cottage dates back to the 1600s, and is set in the heart of the Peak District village of Bonsall. The property has been carefully furnished and co-ordinated throughout with a well-equipped kitchen, although guests may want to take advantage of some of the great places to eat including the two traditional village pubs within walking distance or in Cromford and Matlock just a short drive away.

The traditional conservation village of Bonsall is situated in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales, on the edge of the Peak District National Park, 4 miles from Matlock. Named in the Domesday Book, with a history dating back to Roman times, this former lead mining and textile producing village is renowned for the World Hen Racing Championship’s held on the first Saturday in August.
This part of Derbyshire has a rich heritage, with nearby Cromford being home to Arkwright Mills and Crich, playing host to Crich Tramway Village. Matlock Bath is just a short drive away and is the base for the cable car leading to the Heights of Abraham, a 60-acre hilltop country park. Walkers and mountain bikers will delight in the magnificent trails that abound in this part of the Peak District, whilst watersport enthusiasts are well-served by Carsington Water, which is just 7 miles away. Poppy Cottage is a great place to enjoy everything that the Peak District has to offer right from your doorstep! Shop 200 yards, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

Comfortable cosy cottage which was ideal for our stay, quiet, clean, tidy, located in a lovely area - a home from home.Lovely garden with various sun trapped garden patios.A visit to Masson Mill Textile Museum & Cromford Mill a few minutes drive away were memorable.

Lovely little stay, a bit big for me in the end as I ended up going alone, though had booked for my older children to come with me. House was clean and tidy, plenty of space, plenty of clean towels etc. The WiFi code in the cottage folder needed updating but a quick text to the owner soon sorted the issue.Great base to getting to Matlock, Bakewell etc nice pubs in the village and a cafe. Best of all were the beautiful walks round the villages hills. I did several while there but noticed more and more 'public footpath' signs all the time.Would definitely go again. Back garden is on several terraces so do bear that in mind if you or your party are a little unsteady on their feet. My little dog had trouble getting up to one level but I just carried him up or down the steps or steered him the other way out of the door to do his business.
