Lovely and very peaceful location
Lovely location with everything we needed for a very peaceful vacation. The hosts were very welcoming and gave us a little tour of the grounds and lots of information about the area.
This is a wonderfully quirky and unique place to stay. The accommodation is just perfect. Hosts Steve and Elaine have created a tranquil and idyllic tiny retreat at Robin Hood Tower. Comms were great and Steve showed us around, sharing local history and top tips for our trip. Canal side walks were glorious. A magical stay.

It’s a really cute place to stay. Beautiful views and garden with a lovely canal side walk nearby. Nicely designed inside and Steve, the owner, is incredibly friendly and helpful. Would have liked to have been able to stay longer.

Heavenly spot.
Great hosts, and an amazing location.
Compact, but beautifully designed, equipped and maintained.
The perfect get away from it all spot.
Tranquil and pretty canal walk from the doorstep and breakfast/ lunch cafe with lots of seating and great food a short walk away.
We will be back.
The property and its position are absolutely beautiful. Photos don't do it justice. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. The cottage itself is quirky, beautifully presented, clean and comfortable. We had a perfect stay.

Great place to relax and watch the water flow by…
We had a really relaxing time at Robin Hood Tower. It is perfect for walks along the canal but also close to lots of wonderful Derbyshire countryside. Our host Steve was full of helpful information and pointers. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again - in fact we didn’t want to go home!

Lovely quiet stay in the heart of Derbyshire
My wife and I enjoyed a well earned break at this lovely quaint, fully furnished 3 floored mini house. Situated by a babbling brook in a quiet woodland area overlooking Cromford canal.
The proprietors were a lovely welcoming couple offering their knowledge on the location and history of the area.
Everything functional and available.
Will definitely return

A blissful escape
Situated right by the Cromford canal this one bedroom holiday let was the perfect escape. Set in woodland a few yards from the canal it is a 3 storey converted tower. The conversion is really well thought out for a comfortable stay. A short walk along the canal gets you to The Family Tree Café where breakfast is delicious and they also serve lunch, cakes and afternoon teas. We sat out in a beautiful courtyard.

A real gem
An excellent and sympathetic renovation of an old 3-storey tower. The location is fantastic with a cascading stream to one side and a canal at the bottom of the garden. The owners generously allowed us to use their attractive garden with bench next to the canal. There are walks alongside the canal through the woods. The owners were very friendly and helpful with suggestions for walks and outings, etc.
Inside the property there is everything you need. Although each floor is small, it is well appointed with comfy sofa and bed and a fully fitted kitchen.
Yes, the access from the road is steep and winding but our estate car managed it so it's not too bad.
All in all an excellent relaxing break in a quirky but lovely property.
