With its gabled front door access, off-road parking for one car on a gated driveway and just a five-minute walk from the heart of the popular and vibrant Georgian market town of Melbourne, 'Spring Vale Cottage' is the perfect base for someone wanting to stay for a couple of nights with work or for a couple's weekend getaway to explore beautiful South Derbyshire. Lovingly renovated and extended in 2023, the cottage is divided into a living/bedroom, kitchenette, shower room and hallway/workplace. Spring Vale Cottage is compact, yet spacious, light, warm and cosy, and a beautiful blend of new and old – all the mod cons you'd expect, plus exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, which give the space real character and charm. The cottage is divided into an entrance hallway with a small workspace. Off the hall is a simply equipped kitchenette/utility area and a separate shower room. You then drop down two steps (with a handrail) into the combined bedroom and living space. There is underfloor heating throughout the cottage and free WIFI is available. In the bedroom/living space, there are two armchairs where you’ll get great views of Spring Vale House's rear garden with its large Victorian greenhouse, ornate box hedging and abundant flower beds. Amenities also include a comfy king-size bed with bed linen, a wall-mounted large Samsung smart TV (with Netflix available), two chests of drawers, and a double wardrobe with hanging rails and good storage space. There are also some books, magazines and games to keep younger and older guests entertained. The living space opens out onto the garden via large bi-folding doors. There's an outdoor eating area in the Spring and Summer months for guests to enjoy al fresco dining alongside views of the beautiful South Derbyshire countryside beyond. Facilities in the shower room include a walk-in rainfall and hand-held mixer shower, vanity cupboard and basin, WC and heated towel rail, towels, and shower mat. Facilities in the simple kitchenette/utility area include a kettle, toaster, combined microwave/grill, a two-ring hob, a SMEG fridge (with a small freezer compartment) ceramic sink and dish drainer. The room also holds the main house washing machine and tumble drier, which the host will not use when guests are in the cottage.

This is a such a lovely place to stay in Melbourne - we were delighted to find it. The apartment was warm and cosy. Helen made sure that she was there to greet us even when we were unexpectedly early. Lovely as well to have coffee, teabags, milk and a sweet treat provided so that we didn’t have to rush off to the shops. We had some great walks despite the weather and particularly enjoyed sitting at the window watching a buzzard in the field beyond the garden! We ate out (Spirit Vault and the Bay Tree) but the kitchen was nicely set up for making simple meals. We know the village quite well but appreciated Helen’s guidebooks and advice on eating out.
What a fantastic place. It's gorgeous and a lovely setting. Helen is a fantastic host.

Melbourne is an attractive Georgian market town renowned for Thomas Cook’s birthplace, and the home of Lord Melbourne, prime minister to Queen Victoria, who also gave his name to Melbourne in Australia. It was recently named one of the top places to live in Derbyshire.
The market town is a vibrant and welcoming South Derbyshire location with a fantastic selection of pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops. There are lots of excellent country walks and cycling opportunities to explore South Derbyshire's beautiful sights close by, including at Staunton Harold reservoir and beyond, and lots to see and do in the surrounding area, including Melbourne Hall and Gardens, Melbourne Pool, Calke Abbey and the Creative Melbourne Gallery. It is also within 45 minutes of the Peak District.
Off-road parking is available for one car on a gated driveway and Spring Vale Cottage is only a five-minute walk from the centre of Melbourne.
It is convenient for commuting to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester with great transport links to the M1, M42 and A50.
It's also a great stopover for people flying to and from East Midlands Airport, as it's only a 10-minute drive away. Plus, it's only 15 minutes to East Midlands Parkway train station.
