We had a perfect holiday staying at Keepsake View. It’s a well laid out and spacious accommodation and had everything we could possibly need. An amazing view from the front rooms and a beautiful, large, private space to the rear with table and chairs and patio furniture Great place to relax. Darley Dale has a convenient Co-op with larger super markets only a 10 minute drive away in Matlock. We had a lovely Sunday lunch in Barringtons Hotel. It has a good outside area for drinks in the warmer weather. We were surrounded by beautiful countryside. It s a great location for visiting Bakewell, Chatsworth House and many other places of interest in the area.

Fantastic property - 3 generations of our family enjoyed a wonderful stay. Tina went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, she was so helpful. Her home was spotless and had everything we needed. The garden was a huge bonus too. We hope to return soon.
