Candles are not allowed in the property due to insurance reasons.. Set between the Peak District villages of Calver and Baslow in the heart of the Peak District National Park and next to the owner’s home, Blackcurrant Cottage can be found at Stanton Ford Farm, a working beef farm, and was completely refurbished throughout in 2018. Full of traditional character, this semi-detached cottage is warm and homely, and benefits from a magnificent wood burner that takes pride of place in the cosy living room. Calver is an attractive, stone-built village with many popular walks radiating from the area, and is home to a well stocked convenience store and a couple of good pubs serving food.
In the other direction is Baslow, a busy little village which borders the northern fringe of Chatsworth Park. Again, an excellent base for walking with the famous gritstone edges of Baslow, Curbar and Froggatt all nearby and boasting breathtaking views. Baslow offers a couple of pubs, cafés and restaurants, including a superb Michelin-starred restaurant.
The surrounding area holds Chatsworth Estate, Haddon Hall and the ever popular market town of Bakewell, all accessible in around a 15-minute drive. The National Trust-owned Longshaw Estate is around a 10-minute drive, as is the fascinating plague village of Eyam. From Hassop Station Café you can hire bikes, jump on the traffic-free Monsal Trail and cycle through some of the Peak District’s most spectacular limestone dales. Alternatively, you have the beautiful honeypot village of Castleton, Hathersage with its open-air swimming pool, or wonderful Edale all in around a half hours drive. Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Lovely clean cottage. Plenty of space for 4 people. Beds very comfy. A bit further away from shops and pubs than we thought but wasn't a problem. Short drive into Bakewell. The welcome box with biscuits was much appreciated. Mrs Thorpe was very helpful when contacted.

Spacious, cosy cottage which is very well equipped and a great location for exploring the Peaks. There's pavement all the way from Baslow to Calver, so perfect for driving-free pub trips. The cottage has been really tastefully decorated and has great facilities. Great value for money and loads of things for families to do locally.
The one problem is that the house is near the main road, and the large lorries shake the main bedroom as they go past. It's pretty quiet between 22:00 and 06:00, but if you're a light sleeper it might disturb you.

The cottage is very cosy, comfortable and clean. The only problem we had was the proximity to the fast flowing road at the side of the property. My husband is a light sleeper and found it difficult to sleep. Such a shame as it’s such a lovely cottage.
