The United Kingdom is, without question, one of the holiday capitals of the world and few places represent a more attractive vacation destination than Derbyshire and the greater Peak District area. This region has been host to some of the greatest figures in English literary history. Its lush landscape is not just picturesque but perfectly in keeping with that ideal of “England’s mountains green”. It is, in short, the quintessential English countryside and thus one of the best areas for citizens and visitors to the nation alike to visit.

Of course, while you visit the area, you’re going to want to want to stay in style, which is why you’ll want to look into the finest Derbyshire Country Cottages. These cottages combine the elegance and timeless grace of the Derbyshire area with modern amenities, giving you both a taste of the past with all the comforts of the modern day.

A Land of Literature

For lovers of English literature, the Derbyshire area is simply a must-see. It is here that Jane Austen sets a significant part of her magnum opus, Pride and Prejudice. The immortal Mr. Darcy’s famed Pemberley is located in and thought to have been based upon real-life estates in the Derbyshire countryside. Of particular note is Chatsworth House, one of the most elegant and quintessential English estates in the area, named in Austen’s novel itself and standing in as Pemberley in the 2005 film version of the novel. In addition, George Eliot’s family hailed from the area and the area can be said to have had a significant impact upon her later examinations of rural, provincial life. Other authors, such as D.H. Lawrence and Agatha Christie, had family ties or else spent years of their life in the area.

A stay in the Derbyshire area, particularly in a period-appropriate cottage, can, just the same as a great novel, transport you back in time and help relive the England of the past through some of English literature’s most enduring stories and storytellers.

Cottage Amenities

When you stay at the best Derbyshire cottages, you’ll be treated to not just some of the most beautiful landscapes and a rich literary history but fantastic accommodations in their own right. The best cottages can boast a wealth of wonderful amenities, including:

• Multi-room cottages with spacious living room and bedroom areas
• Pet-friendly areas
• The option to stay in cottages that are either more rustically authentic or else more up to date, complete with Wi-Fi connections
• Lovely kitchen areas
• Places big and small, allowing you to choose from the cosiest of cottages to larger options, perfect for housing entire parties of people on a joint trip to the area

In addition, these cottages are all subject to routine maintenance and cleaning, and are likewise just a stone’s throw away from some of the area’s most beloved literary and cultural sites.
