White Heather Barn has lovely views of the surrounding countryside from the front of the property and benefits from lots of lovely walks straight from the front doorstep. It makes a fine base for touring the Peak District – lying in an area offering a wealth of attractions for visitors. For those with a penchant for shopping, the Amber Valley Individual Factory Shops Trail is a must and includes a retail outlet, Denby Potteries and Royal Crown Derby. There are farmers’ and regular weekly markets in many of the nearby towns including Bakewell and Ashbourne. Alton Towers, Britain’s premier theme park, is close by. Younger children will also enjoy Gulliver’s Kingdom at nearby Matlock. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the excellent facilities at Carsington Water, whilst Shipley Country Park has miles of meandering footpaths and bridleways. At the Midland Railway Centre, transport enthusiasts can take in the nostalgia of the age of steam and travel through countryside for 7 miles. Meanwhile the National Tramway Museum at Crich offers a family day out in a relaxing atmosphere of a bygone era, and the Midland Railway Centre is within walking distance.
Stately homes gracing the area include Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall (a fine medieval manor house) and Hardwick Hall and Kedleston Hall (a fine example of the architecture of Robert Adam). All in all a fantastic base to explore this wonderful area.

The cottage was exactly what we were after.
The cottage was exactly what we were after. We arrived and didn't need to leave until checking out time. The nature reserve has some nice walks, where we wore out our terrier before relaxing in the hot tub.

Modern clean cottage, friendly hosts.
Modern clean cottage, friendly hosts. We really enjoyed our stay over the New year., 2 adults, 2 kids and a dog. Some nice walks straight from the front door, which was great having the dog. Couple pubs in walking distance, Lovely hot tub which split up the chilled days when stayed in. Travelled to Matlock Bath and Bakewell easily, with the latter go early as it can get very busy……Oh and Comfy beds.

Wow, this cottage is 5 stars. So so so clean and tidy. Lovely welcome gifts with doggie treats and homemade chocolate cake. We had a brilliant weekend away with lots of dog walks and shopping at Denbys and designer outlet near by. Heather and Richard you should be very proud of your hard work. We will be back again.

We had a fantastic stay at White Heather Barn.
We had a fantastic stay at White Heather Barn. The barn is beautiful, equipped with everything you could possibly need and was like a home from home. All the little extra touches made it perfect, Heather left us milk and prosecco in the fridge and a beautiful homemade cake. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the hot tub was great to spend a cold wintry evening in. There's a lovely pub within walking distance for a drink, and The Dog and Pentrich does a beautiful Sunday lunch. We will absolutely come back, as long as they'll have us.
