Fantastic, traditional cozy cottage in a stunning grounds & location with plenty to see and do in the area. It is on our list of accommodation we would use again.
We loved our stay at Holly Bank. It was a lovely property in a great location. Having so much space for our kids to run around was fantastic.
Would definitely book again!

This was our second stay at Holly Bank.
This was our second stay at Holly Bank. We love this cottage, easy access to many interesting places to visit, or comfortable to just stay and relax. Plenty of room for children to run around. We had perfect weather and enjoyed staying cool by sitting under the large Sycamore tree and watching the world go by. A walk up to Crich Stand is recommended, amazing views and another place to sit and enjoy it all. The local pub is within easy staggering distance! The beds are so comfortable, so dropping off to sleep at the end of the day is no problem. A highly recommended place to stay. We will definitely be rebooking.

A lovely, spacious and well equipped cottage close to the entrance of the Crich Tramway Museum (which was our main reason for our visit) The beds in the cottage were a little soft for us but other than that everything was perfect! Highly recommended to those looking for a good base in this part of Derbyshire. In the summer the garden would be a lovely place to sit watching the sun go down!
