  • "A wonderful place to stay hilst visiting the Peak District."

    Very well presented and comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly need and with stunning views.

    Aidan WilliamsMar 2025

  • "Wonderful location, Cottage had everything you would need for a small family stay and everything was well laid out and clear instructions provided."

    Cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable, whole process was hassle free and just what you need after a long drive.

    Mr Rob SimmondsFeb 2025

  • "Really excellent place in an excellent location."

    Perfect for a couple with children or 3-4, (we were 2 so it was really perfect!). There is something 'right' about all of the little things especially layout- its all really practical and sensible.The way the kitchen works and where things are stored: All small things that make a huge difference! Beds were great, cottage was really clean, amazing views, feels very remote but actually not far from anything, and the snow was a real bonus! Only slight negative is I don't think the supply is good enough to charge an e-MTB (I might be wrong, but we didn't risk it). A real sense of peace and God's presence in this cottage and the great views! Thanks so much for a great holiday!

  • "This is a lovely cottage for its cleanliness, warmth and comfort of all the key things like beds, towels and hot water, working appliances and so forth."

    The cottage is completely set in its own space but isn’t isolated as you can walk to a nearby pub a country road and probably over footpaths in better weather. The host left us a nice cake which was very generous. We (me and two adult friends), just felt the house needed a few basics looked at - probably things that just need to be kept up as the property is rented and you might not consider if you’re not actually staying there yourself. Nothing major but for instance, whilst there was plenty of firewood there was no matches so we had to go buy some after we arrived - also ice as there was no ice trays for making a G&T, just 3 wine glasses, not enough loo roll provided - and no cooking oil, pepper etc although there was tea and coffee and so on. The knives and peelers were broken or blunt so it was hard to prepare meals. None of this would go against me staying again but we would have liked to have known at least as then you can enjoy the cottage more.

  • "Great little cottage."

  • "Our 2nd visit to Lane Head Cottage and it definitely won't be our last!"

    If you want peace and quiet and to be surrounded by the beauty of the Peak District there is nowhere better. The cottage had everything we needed for a wonderful break and being close to many lovely walks is a bonus. We'll be back.

    Mr Stephen JamesSep 2024

  • "A great feel to the cottage which is well positioned and appointed."

    Highly recommend staying here

    Mr Brian Luxford MitchellSep 2024

  • "We had a lovely stay in Lane Head Cottage, it had everything we needed and proved an ideal base for our first stay in the Peak District."

    The location is beautiful and the views stunning. The beds were very comfortable and the peace and quiet at night very restful. We hope we will be able to stay again when we venture back that way. The cake was a lovely delicious surprise.

    Mr John SaundersJul 2024

  • "The perfect Escape to the Country cottage!"

    Lovely cottage in a stunning location, just what we were looking for. Will definitely be making a return visit

    Mr Stephen JamesJun 2024

  • "This property is in a stunning location."

    We loved staying in such a secluded place with fantastic views. We had young children with us so the enclosed garden was very handy. There was plenty of space inside for 4 adults, a toddler and a baby. We thoroughly enjoyed walks straight from the cottage especially the bluebells in Kennel Woods. The homemade cake that had been left for us was delicious!

    Mrs Laura SpeedMay 2024

  • "The cottage was lovely & cosy, well equipped & very welcoming."

    The freshly made cake was also a wonderful touch. Set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. What more could you ask for.

The property

Wirksworth 1.5 miles.

Lane Head Cottage is a beautiful stone-fronted cottage nestled within the charming village of Alderwasley.

A beautifully appointed dwelling boasting outstanding scenery and incredible views, this cottage is the perfect location for families, friends of five or two couples who seek an escape to the rural Derbyshire Dales.

Open the door of this traditional countryside cottage and step into the warmth of the spacious kitchen/dining room as you appreciate the character of the original feature fireplace and exposed wood beams.

Place your bags by the staircase and take off your coat and shoes before heading toward the cream kitchen and flicking on the kettle, so you can delight in a warm brew as you gather at the breakfast bar to map out your plans for the day ahead.

Place a log on the pretty woodburning stove and watch the fire flicker as you kick back and relax on the sofas and search for a movie to watch on the Smart TV.

Gather your bags and head up the stairs to the first-floor where you will find three relaxing bedrooms, each beautifully decorated with neutral tones and plenty of storage for housing all of your belongings.

There are both a double bedroom and a single bedroom, as well as a spacious super-king-size bed which can also be arranged into two singles upon request.

Once you've unpacked your belongings neatly into the storage provided, wander into the contemporary bathroom and indulge with a tranquil soak in the bath tub or a refreshing shower whilst your towel keeps warm and toasty on the heated towel rail.

Venture downstairs and take a seat at the dining table as your glass fills with wine and the room fills with divine scents from the food cooking away in the kitchen.

Tuck into a lovingly made meal and laugh with your loved ones as you recall fond memories from past holidays and toast to making more memories in the days to come.

Make the most of your time in this area with an exciting and insightful tour of the owners private farm, or head into the centre of the town for a hearty breakfast before an action-packed day at the famous Black Rocks.

Take to the waters as you canoe along the River Derwent and explore the Great Masson Cavern before retiring to your cottage for a quiet night in.

Embark on an adventurous weekend with a stay at Lane Head Cottage.

Note: this property can be booked with Ref. 1008064, together sleeping 16 guests.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
