Nestling in Derbyshire, on a small working farm, Shire Cottage (ref UK10035) and Nightingale Cottage (ref UKC1570) date back to the 1600s. They have a commanding position off the beaten track in one of the most delightful valleys, which once formed part of Florence Nightingale’s country estate.



The historic Cromford Canal and the beautiful River Derwent pass through the farmland. Whatstandwell is pivotal in the designated World Heritage Site of the Derwent Valley. There are many fine walks straight from the door of this charming cottage and it is only a short drive to Matlock Bath with its famous illuminations and Gullivers Kingdom, the National Tramway Museum, Carsington Water, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Alton Towers and not forgetting the old market towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne, and of course the fabulous Derbyshire Dales.



Fishing is available free of charge in the owners’ private pond, which has tench and crucian carp, and a ½ mile stretch of the River Derwent where you will find trout and grayling. The Peak District National Park is famous for providing glorious scenery and is a must for ramblers to the most serious walkers. Once you have visited Leashaw Farm and sampled all the delights these cottages have to offer, you’ll never want to leave. Shop ¾ mile, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Shire Cottage (ref UK10035) and Nightingale Cottage (ref UKC1570) can be booked together to accommodate up to 11 guests.

Very old feel to the cottage, which took a little while to get used to..but once I got the feel of it it was grand..fully furnished for almost everything you need for a quiet away from it all break.. not quite sure where this pub a mile away is..the nearest place, The Family Tree wasn't a pub and anyway isn't dog friendly..least I think it isn't.. local shops are also a drive away..but ydh it was handy if you were visiting local sights but I wasn't..Nice touch to have a few coffee and tea sachets handy. Warren the owner was very accommodating and just left me to it..but he did lend me some fishing equipment to borrow..all in all a very warm cottage well equipped with a pleasant view ..
