Waters View Cottage

Nestled within the grounds of Hopton House and overlooking the beautiful expanse of Carsington Water, this welcoming cottage enjoys a superb location in the heart of Derbyshire. Carsington Water Visitor Centre (1.5 miles) offers sailing, paddleboarding, fishing, cycle hire, scenic lakeside walks, cold water swimming and saunas, while nearby Wirksworth (1.5 miles) is home to independent shops, traditional pubs, cafés and eateries.

The popular Tissington Trail (4 miles) and High Peak Trail (0.5 miles) provide miles of traffic-free walking and cycling through stunning countryside. Guests can enjoy memorable days out at Chatsworth House (11 miles), Haddon Hall (10 miles), Alton Towers (18 miles) and the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath (2.5 miles), where cable cars glide above the dramatic Derwent Valley.

Historic Cromford offers canal-side walks, heritage attractions and independent shops, while Black Rocks (2 miles) boasts spectacular views and excellent walking opportunities. Closer to home, a local pub serving food and ales is just a five-minute walk away.

Situated in the peaceful village of Hopton, this beautifully presented cottage has been designed for comfort, relaxation and spending quality time together. The entrance opens into a welcoming dining area, creating a sociable hub for shared meals and planning the next day's adventures, with stairs leading to the first floor.

To the rear of the cottage is a well-equipped kitchen, thoughtfully arranged for preparing everything from leisurely breakfasts to family dinners. From the dining area, the accommodation flows through to the inviting lounge, where a large, comfortable sofa, a cosy log burner and uninterrupted views across Carsington Water provide the perfect setting to unwind after a day exploring the Peak District.

Sleeping up to eight guests, the cottage offers three well-appointed bedrooms arranged over two floors, including a convenient ground-floor double bedroom. Upstairs, two further bedrooms include the impressive master super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom, which enjoys spectacular lake views and features a luxurious en-suite with a freestanding bath.
