Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Derby

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautifully decorated barn house in Melbourne. As a family of four, it was perfect—spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and so peaceful. We all slept soundly in the cosy beds and felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Eve had left some lovely surprises for us, and our children were delighted to relax in the garden with biscuits and squash after the journey. My husband and I enjoyed a glass of wine out there too—it was the perfect start to our stay. There was plenty to keep everyone happy, from books and DVDs to a great TV setup, and we made full use of the spacious kitchen for family meals. The location is brilliant too—within walking distance of several pubs and cafes. We had a lovely dinner at Harpurs and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Birds Bakery. The property felt very private and secure, and Eve was a fantastic host—warm, helpful, and responsive. Thank you, Eve, for a perfect stay—we’ll definitely be back soon!

Kev was very accommodating for our family! The house was spotless and very well stocked! Highly recommended this beautiful slice of heaven!

The showers (which is what you’ve actually came to read the reviews for) were top-notch—powerful, hot, and exactly what you need after a long day of exploring. Beyond that, the accommodation exceeded all expectations. It was even more spacious than the photos suggested, set within beautiful grounds that provided plenty of room to unwind. The location was ideal, with easy access to stunning walks and local attractions. Oliver was an outstanding host, always quick to respond and incredibly accommodating with all my messages. His attentiveness made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located getaway in the Peak District!

Lucy’s cottage is stunning! Even more beautiful than the pictures! We had a really lovely time - Youlgreave is a wonderful village with 3 pubs, cafe’s and a little shop, plus being close to other attractions in the Peak District! Fabulous host, brilliant location, beautiful cottage!

We had an absolutely perfect stay in this lovely house. This is easily the best AirBnB we have ever stayed at. It is comfortable and clean and has everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. Penny was a superb host who was welcoming and helpful. I hope we can stay again if we are ever in the area.

My children and I loved staying here for a few days. Such a beautiful location in the country. Very peaceful and we spotted lots of bunny rabbits from the lounge. Elise and her family were brilliant hosts. Very welcoming and engaging with my daughter who took a shine to their dog Koa. Very well equipped house and the kids made their way through all the biscuits! We would love to come back some day. Highly recommend if you are wanting peace and quiet.

Richard's place has a lovely blend of feeling like you're in the middle of nowhere yet being only a 15 drive into thriving Buxton. It was warm, comfortable and a great size for a family get-together, with some amazing walks literally on your doorstep. We can all genuinely say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had an amazing stay at Vicky & Alex’s cottage. The house was fantastically equipped and beautifully decorated. Very comfy beds with high quality linens. Perfect for a girly hiking weekend away! Thank you so much - we will be back!

Daniel is easily the best host I’ve ever had. We are two American students who moved to Nottingham for school and Daniel made us feel right at home. He provided endless recommendations, brought us anything we needed, checked up on us, and was always available. The apartment quickly became our home. It had all the amenities we needed: washer, dryer, iron, kettle, fireplace, hairdryer, etc. He even stocked toiletries and the like. The couch is great for naps and hanging around. The location is super convenient with a bus stop right by, grocery nearby, etc. Daniel is a friendly host who loves to provide his guests with a great experience. Would stay again 10/10.

I had an absolute incredible experience at Denise’s place, from the moment I arrived, everything was spotless, stylish and thoughtfully prepared. Check-in was easy. The space itself was better than the photos- beautifully decorated and cozy. The bed was super comfy and I appreciated all the little touches that made it feel homely. I couldn’t ask for a better experience and would certainly return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this little gem for anyone visiting the area.

Only stayed here for one night but it was great. Easy walk to restaurants and shops which were close by. The apartment was clean and tidy with a nice character to it. Definitely worth it fir the money only downside was parking but thats expected for the location.

We were visiting Buxton for 2 shows at the Opera House & the apartment is perfectly placed for this, being just a few minutes walk away, also the Pavilion Gardens and loads of places to eat & drink. Apartment is beautifully furnished and very well-equipped with pretty, sunny little cottage-style garden to front. The main bedroom is lovely, really comfortable bed. Our friend stayed in the basement bedroom and did comment that it was cold BUT he was very warm and comfortable once in bed. Wish we had stayed longer, if only to take advantage of the huge selection of dvds and books 😊. Thankyou, Heather, Kim and Lorna for a really great (too short) stay.

Steve the host is always available and answered any questions very quickly. The flat was very clean and everything described as it was. Location was as we wanted close to restaurants and bars everything within walking distance. As it says it next door to a bar (cocktail bar) and is loud but we was fine with that.

I spent 5 nights at the property whilst visiting my daughter in Derby My journey into town was about 30 minutes but we discovered lovely restaurants locally in Melbourne and Willington and we visited Mercia Marina again which is a favourite of ours The property is a first floor flat in a converted stable block within grounds of the house and tucked away behind the main business. It is very much in the countryside so I had to be quite organised bringing in provisions as I cooked for myself in the evening but all the kitchen amenities that I needed were there it’s beautifully peaceful and a very unusual set up ,being in a converted stable as to be expected, due to them running a furnishing business., the decor was beautifully coordinated with a lovely bumblebee and March hare theme running through all the decor. The host replied quickly to any queries I had ,which I was most grateful for  Thank you for a lovely stay

We had an amazing stay at Bradley East Wing. The cottage was beautiful with a lot of attention to detail - fresh flowers from the garden were a fantastic touch. A very peaceful stay. Anna & Ian were very hospitable & no query was too much. We are very much looking forward to a future stay

We had a lovely stay and Sally was a great host. The apartment was clean and tidy with clear instructions. The location is great and we could have happily stayed longer. We plan to book again!
