Slinter Cottage

Located just on the edge of the historic village of Cromford, the Arkwright Society has created a comfortable and well appointed cottage from a former water mill. The mill retains its wheel which has been restored to working condition.

The cottage offers a two bedroom, two bathroom luxury self catering apartment on the first floor for four to six people. A modern extension to the building provides a delightful sun room giving stunning views across the adjacent SSSI woodlands and Dunsley Meadows - the Local Nature Reserve.

Below, the undercroft houses an exhibition which tells the story of the local dams, ponds and waterways and their significance to the industrial history of the area including their links to the Arkwrights and the Cromford cotton mills.

If you would like to get away from it all and discover the stunning walks and heritage that Derbyshire has to offer this is for you. Open all year round, Slinter Cottage is owned and managed by The Arkwright Society, a local charity based nearby at Sir Richard Arkwright’s Cromford Mills, birthplace of the textile industrial revolution.

The Society’s own guide team can provide guests and pre-booked groups with a range of talks and tours of the area, which include both Derbyshire’s historic and natural landscapes.
