About this cottage rental

A gorgeous detached cottage set in a stunning location high above the rooftops and historic buildings of Wirksworth. The cottage has been lovingly restored to the very highest standards. The area around the Wee House has the feel of a Cornish fishing village – a random patchwork of houses and gardens removed from traffic and noise. The Wee House is peaceful, quiet and has an ‘away from it all’ feel – yet it is only a short amble down the hill to the quirky boutique shops and independent eateries below. Great for a relaxing break away or an ideal place to set off on adventures in the surrounding Peaks – you can walk and cycle from the door.

Fantastic reviews - 5* reviews and lots of returning guests say it all for this fabulous boutique cottage.

Enhanced Covid-19 cleaning and protocols in place for a safe visit.

Downstairs the high quality finish is warm, inviting and snug; whilst upstairs has a luxurious feel which is open, light and calming. (click 'more details' for further information)

Original features abound – twisty oak beams, a gritstone hearth and deep recessed windows. These are complimented by solid oak floorboards, a fantastic wood burning stove and handmade wooden shutters. Fabulous finishing and touches throughout.

A miner's cottage from 1750 lovingly and respectfully renovated, blessed with a terrace with an unforgettable view.The owner was very affable and generous with his help (bringing my suitcase up the pathway) and his tips on points of interest. I hope to go back in the not too distant future.

10.0 / 10.0

Such a gorgeous little, but spacious, cottage. The cottage was immaculate and had everything you would need, so well thought out and the views were to die for. A great location for exploring or just pottering around the cute little town. Great hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

10.0 / 10.0

This is our second visit to The Wee House. Very comfortable little cottage with scenic views and good walks. We love it here so will definitely be returning soon.

10.0 / 10.0

A beautifully furnished, cosy little cottage in a very quiet location. Very comfortable bed and lovely to have a proper bath to relax in after a day's walking. I found it particularly useful to have such a wide range of maps and walking guides provided by the owners. Parking is only available at the bottom of the hill, which wasn't a problem for me but anyone with mobility problems would struggle.

10.0 / 10.0

If it's a view to die for that you want, the Wee House is the place. Everything about the house was comfy, cozy, and clean. It truly was absolutely perfect, and we'll be back for sure!

10.0 / 10.0

Very comfortable, beautifully decorated, had everything you need. Lovely town, nice pubs and restaurant, all within a short walk of the property. Fantastic views from the property of the rolling hills and in a prime location to visit places like Buxton and Bakewell and plenty of other places and things to do, including walking.The host was fantastic.All in all a wonderful break.

Cosy, stylish and very well equipped cottage. Thoughtfully put together. Very high standard of fixtures and fittings. Particularly impressed by the range and quality of kitchen equipment and how comfortable the bed was.

Gorgeous cottage atop a beautiful hill. Lots to do in the village, and the hosts are friendly and knowledgeable - they came by on our first day and gave us lots of personalised recommendations for what to do on our trip. 100% recommend!

We had a fantastic week in the Wee Cottage on the Hill. There are so many wonderful local walks up to the quarry and down to Cromford. The cottage is lovely, it is comfortable, well equipped and has stunning views.

10.0 / 10.0

We absolutely loved the Wee House. The property was ideal with fabulous views and an extremely comfortable bed! It was well equipped. Parking was a bit more tricky as we had a large vehicle. Lots of local info was provided and we enjoyed several beautiful walks direct from the cottage. The town was charming and we particularly enjoyed dinner at Le Mistral. We certainly hope to make a return visit.

Beautiful old cottage renovated to a very high standard and in immaculate condition. Great attention to detail and comfort. We loved our stay here, high in this stunning quirky village. So much history here, great eating places and pubs, small independent shops. Very kind and helpful owners.

Small but perfectly formed, the Wee House is the ideal get away. Peaceful, (no passing traffic), amazing views across the valley. Too cold to sit outside but sooo cozy inside with the fire lit. Super comfy bed in a spacious bedroom made it hard to get up every morning! Well equipped kitchen if you do cook in but many pubs and restaurants, especially the Mistral, make it unnecessary! Thank you Sarah and Mal. We hope to see you again!

10.0 / 10.0

Great little cottage up on a hill with wonderful views over Wirksworth. Had everything we needed. Plenty of walking without taking the car, owners had thoughtfully left local walking books and leaflets. Quirky local cinema a few mins walk away. Nice restaurants nearby. A great place for our short stay.

10.0 / 10.0

10.0 / 10.0

Mal & Sarah's place is a fabulous, well-appointed retreat from the busy-ness of many other towns. Wirksworth itself is really a good example of treading the balance between a working town and the steady march of gentrification. Most places here are run by independent locals; and so it should! Don't change because I'm going to retire here :)

10.0 / 10.0

Beautifully presented little cottage with lovely patio area where you can sit with a cup of tea or glass of wine, enjoying the incredible views and tranquility of this tucked away little gem. This traditional cottage is just perfect for two. Spotlessly clean, open lounge and kitchen with all mod cons, wood burner and lots of information about the local area. Upstairs the bedroom has a gorgeous Armoire for hanging clothes, a fabulously comfortable bed which is like sleeping on a cloud. The ensuite bathroom, although modern, like the rest of the cottage still has its lovely original features. We didn't get to meet Sarah but Mal was a perfect host and explained everything we needed to know for our stay. Thank you Mal and Sarah we had a great stay and would love to come back.

The property is very cute, clean, and has amazing views! The owners are super nice cheery people! The view does require quite a hike up a very steep hill. But worth it 😄

A comfortable property, up a very steep hill, with great views especially from the outdoor seating spaces.

Communication with Sarah prior to our stay was excellent and Mal provided a very warm welcome on arrival with lots of local recommendations! The Wee House has beautiful views across the town/hills and the property had everything we needed for our stay. It is also located near many local attractions including the Crich Tramway and Cromford Mills - both well worth a visit. Thank you very much!

The Wee Little House on the hill is a homely, perfectly-kept, and beautifully located hideaway, high up on a hill with stunning views out over the town of Wirksworth and the valley its located in, with nearby access to walks on the High Peak Trail. Sarah and Mal are the perfect hosts, warm, welcoming, responsive, and generous with their knowledge of the local area, the best places to eat and shop, and things to see. You will instantly feel at home in the Wee House and never want to leave.

Just amazing

The property was adorable and perfect over the Easter weekend. We were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather over the weekend so we were able to have breakfast everyday enjoying the views from the terrace. The views are just WOW. And the property was perfect. Lovely hosts with a cute dog too! Location is great as there are many pubs and eateries in the town. We cooked most nights though and everything was great

A Perfect Escape

A Perfect Escape

Spotless, cosy and everything was just a beautiful as the photos show. Welcomed by super helpful owner and inside a comprehensive folder gave all the information required. We have walked up and down the hills and dales (there are lots of hills) and explored Wirksworth and neighbouring Cromford. The wee house also supports sustainable products which was an added bonus. All available from the skopa shop in the town. Would happily recommend and return to this rental which was made extra magical by the amazing sunshine this week.
