Property code: PK939

Located in the heart of the old part of the stone built Derbyshire village of Calver, the property is within walking distance of the local shops, cafes and gallery. Spreading across the floor of the Derwent Valley, the village is surrounded by stunning scenery and walking routes, including gristone edges, heather clad moorland, grassy heights and limestone outcrops. The family-run – and allegedly haunted – Derwentwater Arms sits overlooking the village and cricket field, the perfect spot to enjoy a pub lunch.

The property is entered through the pretty stone wall and iron front fence into the dining hall. With stone flagged floors and an original decorative fireplace with traditional gritstone surround, this is a suitably grand venue in which to enjoy your evening meals. Beyond the dining room, the newly refurbished kitchen is fitted with a Rayburn Range Cooker and stocked with everything you should need throughout your stay. On sunny evenings, guests can enjoy an al fresco meal in the private courtyard located through the kitchen. Once you’ve finished your meals, head to the sitting room to relax next to the log burning stove in one of the many sofas under the beamed ceiling.

A twin bedroom, which has 2 steps down, and easy access to the downstairs bathroom with shower cubicle, toilet and hand wash basin which is also located on this floor, while the three remaining bedrooms can be found upstairs. The master bedroom features a super king-size bed with an en-suite shower room. There is a second bedroom with twin beds and tranquil views across fields. The final bedroom has a double bed and enjoys views to Curber Gap. All bedrooms on this floor have access to the family bathroom which has a large shower cubicle, bath, toilet and hand wash basin.

Very comfortable central village location. Short walk to local pubs/restaurants. Footpaths to and from cottage. There is a fresh water trough @ 50 meters from the cottage in Main Street which is ideal for washing muddy dogs

Lovely cosy cottage. Really well equipped, but take slippers in the winter for the tiled/wooden floor to really feel the benefits of the fire. Would definitely stay again.

The Old Bulls Head is a fantastic little cottage, very cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable week away. The beds are super comfy and the living areas very comfortable to relax in. The kitchen has everything you need and we found the oven really easy to use once you get used to it. The cottage is in a great location to explore the PeaksRead more with most places never more than a 20-30 min drive. Thoroughly recommend this lovely cottage!! Hide

This lovely cottage comfortably accommodated 6 adults, 2 young children and a baby. We particularly enjoyed the walks from the cottage, visits to Chatsworth, Bakewell and the Tram museum.

Beautiful, clean, spacious house with cute little courtyard at the back, ideal for our group of four couples and two dogs. Good location to explore the Peaks, we walked to Eyam one day, plenty of other walks from the door, ate at Derwentwater Arms (good for meat eaters but very average for vegans with three main courses, but no starters and only thRead moree ubiquitous sorbet for dessert), also had brunch at the Eating House which was superb. Minor negative was very soft mattress in master bedroom. Hide
