No smoking.. Dating back to 1860, this large Victorian property enjoys views over the surrounding fields towards Butterley Reservoir and Pentrich, and has been beautifully furnished to provide holiday accommodation of a very high standard. Adjoining the owners’ home – which formerly served as the vicarage – it has shared use of a games room with full-size snooker table, professional table football, as well as outdoor table tennis. 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 McArthurGlen retail outlet, De Bradelei Mill Shop at Belper, 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 Gullivers 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. 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). Tennis, riding, golf and swimming at Alfreton, 2 miles. Derby, 12 miles, offers cathedral, museums and good shopping. Shop 220 yards.

The Limes (RP2) and The Coach House (RDG) can be booked together to accommodate up to 20 guests.

A Great Reunion House
Perfect house for get together with large bedrooms 5 of which are en-suite and many with single beds which makes for great flexibility depending on the make up of your group. Large group spaces in kitchen and living room with a great conservatory too. Also on direct bus route to Derby and area. Everything a large group could want. Owners live next door and we’re very welcoming and helpful.

Girl’s weekend
Number of bedrooms suited us well. Plenty of loo rolls! No soap/hand wash anywhere. Large oven door doesn’t close & according to guest book, has been like that since at least April. Property needs a lot of TLC. Great location though & we had a great time.

Great place for a family or group of friends to get together.
Great place for a family or group of friends to get together. The house is enormous with spacious bedrooms and most with ensuite bathrooms. The bedding and furnishings were all very good quality. The kitchen was really well equipped for large group - that was the only room that felt a bit cramped with the dining tables in there. It might have been better if they were located in the large conservatory, which was reasonably warm despite the cold weather. We definitely hope to return.

This is a lovely house, with a great conservatory, large rooms with nice cpomfortable furniture. It was clean, with all the equipment that a party of 14 would need. Also a nice garden for the kids to run around.

Large house, great for our family gatherings.
Large house, great for our family gatherings. Perfect space for BBQs and lawn games, with additional games room a bonus. Larger space in the lounge and conservatory than appear in the photos. A few minor improvements would go a long way (new bedding, living room carpet, new pool table) Swanwick is a good base for days out in the peak district and Derbyshire dales. Recommend the local pub (Steampacket) for decent beer!

Good for walkers as plenty of walks nearby, plenty of room for12 people with a bathroom per couple a bonus. Only downside was the cooker where the big oven door wouldn't stay closed unless propped to with a chair and the dials worn away so didn't know correct temp or which part of oven was on ( ie. Fan grill or top and bottom oven. Also needed new rubber seal) was pointed out to owner who said would sort it, but couldn't do it whilst we were there.

The cottage was an ideal size for our group , with lots of parking for us all. The bedrooms were large and well supported, mostly all being en-suite. The kitchen was large but dining in the kitchen was a little tight (it was winter so we weren't able to use the large outdoor seating areas.) The heating was good and we were comfortable the whole time, a rarety in such large properties.
