Description
Nestled in the heart of Middleton by Wirksworth and close to the historic towns of Cromford, Matlock and Wirksworth, Eight The Green makes the perfect base for exploring Derbyshire and the Peak District by foot, bike or car. Overlooking the village green and hills beyond, the refurbished self-catering cottage offers a cosy holiday escape for two all year round, with excellent walking and cycling routes from the door.
Eight The Green is around 200 years old and has recently been refurbished to a high standard. Located towards the upper end of Middleton by Wirksworth, the cottage is just a short walk away from The Nelson Arms pub, a well-serviced bus stop and Middleton Moor’s far-reaching views. It makes the perfect escape for two, offering a cosy retreat after a day exploring the nearby hills or historic towns and villages.
The accommodation is split over two floors: living room and kitchen on the ground floor, bedroom and bathroom to the first floor. The front garden and rear courtyard provide plenty of outdoor space, and offer a seat in the sun throughout the day.
Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included. A few ‘essentials’ will be found in the kitchen on arrival, and logs and kindling will be provided to get started with the wood burner.
Please be aware that at present we don’t accept children or pets, and the cottage is non-smoking.
NB Although the rooms offer plenty of head height, there are a few low ceilings on the connecting corridors and stairs – guests would be well advised to follow the ‘mind your head’ signs! The carpeted stairs are quite steep but there is a handrail.
After leaving your outdoor kit in the porch, you’ll find a comfortable living room with wood burning stove, dining table, armchair, and sofa handmade in Derbyshire. A 37" television with Roku Streambar provides streaming services via fast fibre broadband. The newly fitted kitchen has oak worktops, induction hob, electric oven, microwave, separate fridge and freezer and integrated washing machine. In warmer months, you can head outside to the sheltered sunny courtyard to top up the tan or enjoy some al fresco dining.
Moving upstairs, a well-proportioned bedroom has two windows looking out to the surrounding village with Black Rocks, Bolehill and Alport Heights beyond; a king size metal framed bed and hybrid mattress offer a restful night’s sleep. There’s plenty of storage with a hanging rail and chest of drawers. The spacious bathroom allows for a relaxing soak after a busy day of discovery, having a bath with thermostatic shower over and underfloor heating.
To the front of the cottage you can take a seat on the bench and keep an eye on village life. A lockable outhouse opposite can be used for bike storage if required. Although there is no parking space at the property, there is plenty of free parking around The Green and in the public carpark beside The Nelson Arms. You can pull up outside the property for luggage drop off and pick up.

Steve 30/06/22:
Great cottage and fantastic location. I'll sure be back and I have no issues in recommending this place to anyone.
Sally 04/07/22:
We absolutely loved 8 The Green, it was a very last minute booking, but quick phone call to Gary and it was all booked. The cottage itself is beautiful, attention to detail Is fab, kitchen is super well equipped, comfy bed, and the welcome pack was much appreciated and a lovely touch. It’s a great location to explore, but we didn’t go far, there are beautiful walks right out the front door, with amazing views. We found the best pub in Carsington, The Miners Arms, 3 miles away….well worth a visit, so friendly and the food was fantastic. A walk along Cromford Canal is beautiful too! Thanks to Gary for being such a great host, we had a fab time…would definitely recommend!
Chris 03/08/22:
If you’re looking for some peace and quiet this is a perfect place to find it…
Stephen 12/08/22:
We had a wonderful stay here. The place was clean and well equipped, and there was plenty to explore on foot right from the front door including the friendly pub across the road. Down the road in Wirksworth, with its weekly markets,restaurants and cafes, there are plenty of chances to eat and cook well. There was lots of helpful information about the surrounding area too. We loved it.
Marian 23/08/22:
Beautiful cottage, so well equipped. Lovely views and walks straight from the door. Great location for visits to Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, and many other interesting spots. Electric charging points in Wirksworth, a must for my car. Excellent stay, would recommend the cottage to all.
Dave & Mary 01/09/22:
An immaculate cottage with every facility one could wish for. Great position and handy for local pubs and walks from the door. We would highly recommend this holiday cottage and hope to be their again soon.
