The Waiting Room Holiday Cottage
Set in a conservation area just outside of the village of Cromford (home of the industrial revolution), this highly individual former railway Waiting Room has been turned into a 1 bedroom delightful holiday cottage.
Ideally placed for walking, cycling and touring the beautiful Derbyshire countryside or for those interested in railway history or architecture, the Waiting Room will be a delight to all guests.
A Grade II listed building, built in 1860, and left to fall into dereliction since it was last used in the 1960’s, the new owners have spent the last 12 months undertaking a complete restoration which has seen the reinstatement of many lost architectural features, including the clock, roof finials as well as the magnificent chimney stacks! Getting to the cottage couldn’t be easier! As is it sits directly next to the tracks, but don’t worry it it’s one of the quieter lines in Britain!
