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 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.

Outside is a small private walled courtyard with afternoon sun, ideal for BBQs.

I would highly recommend staying at this beautifully appointed house, every comfort and facility has been provided for which made self catering easy. Alternatively it is well placed for eating out and if you dont want to drive the Bridge Inn is easily walkable. Calver is a well situated village for exploring the Peak District too.

Absolutely loved this house! It has charm, comfort, is well equipped and, for us, was spacious enough to house eight adults, two babies and two dogs without it feeling crowded. There are lovely walks accessible from the doorstep, great parking and a cosy courtyard (with a well!) for evening drinks. A perfect place for a family gathering.

A lovely comfortable cottage decorated with great attention to detail. The cooker was easy to control and nice to cook on. Seats and settees were comfortable. All was spotlessly clean as we had a baby crawling around. There's a shop and a pub just 5 minutes walk away.

Save for the parking confusion on arrival we really enjoyed our stay at The Old Bull's Head. Note: best to bring bags in by the front door, the rear steps are perilous.

We stayed at the Old Bulls Head during May-25 Whitsun break. Quiet location with great facilities including comfy beds to rest weary legs after a day out walking the various edges, gorges and visiting the local sites. We would highly recommend this cottage and would look to return again. The family and 2 dogs loved it - Thanks.

The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and spacious. The village was off the main road and had no through traffic so was wonderfully peaceful. There were so many beautiful walks from the door, as well as a well stocked shop, that we hardly got in the car ourselves all week.
