Welcome to Derwent Mills Cottages, part of Amber Valley Vineyards business. Discover these charming holiday lets nestled in the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Our quaint 200-year-old cottages are situated in a serene Conservation Area, on a peaceful side street in Belper town. They are perfectly positioned opposite a 13th-century Medieval Foresters chapel, surrounded by enchanting leafy grounds, offering picturesque views across the sweeping Derwent Valley.

Explore everything the town has to offer, from exceptional restaurants, cozy cafes, to lively pubs and a bustling high street, which earned the title of Britain's Best in 2014. Belper is renowned for its culinary delights, making it a haven for food enthusiasts.

Frith Cottage and Strutt Cottage are idyllic retreats designed for couples and culture enthusiasts, offering exceptional value for money. These retreats boast vintage accents, stylish interiors, and delightful gardens, making them a perfect choice for a holiday escape.
