Canalside Cottage is a three-bedroom end terrace cottage in Lea Bridge, sitting in the Derwent Valley near Matlock, Derbyshire. Step straight from the front door onto the Cromford Canal towpath. Two wood burners one in the lounge and one in the dining room's original fireplace keep things cosy. Every window frames green countryside views across the Peak District.

The Derwent Valley is walking and cycling country. The High Peak Trail runs 17.5 miles with views over Cromford and Matlock Bath. High Peak Junction's railway workshops date to around 1830. The Leawood Pump House steam engine runs on summer weekends. Black Rocks is minutes away.

Three bedrooms sleep five guests. The master has a king-size bed with an upholstered headboard. The second bedroom has a double bed overlooking green fields. The third has twin beds good for children. One family bathroom with shower over bath serves all three rooms.

Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within 10 miles. Bakewell is 9 miles away. The Greyhound Hotel in Cromford village is 1.6 miles. Up to three dogs are welcome.

Canalside Cottage suits families, walkers and dog owners who want direct trail access from the door. Book it for the canal towpath, the Peak District views and those two wood burners.
