1 / 24Bilberry Cottage - Crich
Crich, Derbyshire
A four bedroom farm cottage sleeping eight at Crich, with a bunk room, an enclosed garden with a hot tub in it and three dogs welcome.
One of the four bedrooms is a bunk room, and that single fact decides who books this cottage. Bilberry Cottage sleeps eight on a working farm at Crich, dog friendly, with two kings, a twin and the bunks, and an enclosed garden big enough to hold the lot of them. Three dogs come as well. Bunks mean children, and children mean a garden that has to hold everybody at once.
One bedroom is downstairs and so is a bathroom, which matters at the end of a week as much as the start. A burner warms the lounge, and a hot tub stands outside for whoever is still upright at ten. The farm carries on around all this without requiring anything of you, and three dogs on eight people is a real allowance, so nobody is left choosing which animal comes.
An afternoon here is mostly traffic. Children going out and coming back, three dogs following whichever group looks more promising, and somebody establishing whether the gate was shut by the last person through. By seven it has all subsided and the garden belongs to the dogs again. If a party outgrows the cottage, the owners let the one next door as well.
Wingfield Manor, 4 miles east, is one of the largest medieval ruins in England and almost nobody has heard of it: a roofless great hall on a hilltop with an undercroft still standing below it and a farm working round the walls. Shining Cliff Woods drop to the river the other way, ancient oak and beech with the remains of the yew that gave the country Rock-a-bye Baby. Three dogs get steep woodland and a river path at the bottom of it.
