Our story at Wakedon Holiday Cottage

Discover the journey of Wakedon Holiday Cottage, from its humble beginnings to a cherished retreat. Learn about our passion for hospitality and our dedication to creating unforgettable experiences for every guest.

Our journey began in 1997

In 1997, my wife, Daryl, and I, Keith, built Wakedon Holiday Cottage. We carefully placed it in the far, very secluded  corner of our grounds, ensuring it was out of sight from our house, roads, and footpaths. We also offered B&B from our home, a tradition we continued until recent years. Just before the COVID-19 pandemic Daryl became ill, leading us to stop the B&B. However, we continue to let the cottage.

Our very private and most secluded cottage is set in the grounds of Penrose, Sandy Lane, Crich, DE4 5DE which we bought forty years ago such that we could live in total peace and quiet; perfectly secluded, in great privacy, away from roads, footpaths, noise,

Designed for your perfect holiday

The cottage is truly memorable because it was purpose-built and designed exclusively as a holiday retreat. It was crafted, constructed, and furnished to reflect the ideal cottage we would always hope to rent ourselves. Having rented many cottages worldwide during our business careers, we knew exactly what would make a stay special and comfortable for our guests.

The privacy is perfect for treasured cars.

Experience the charm of Crich

We deeply appreciate the people of Crich; they consistently offer a warm "Hello" to everyone. When you stay with us, you'll be in what we believe is the finest location Crich has to offer. Beyond the cottage, there are numerous local hidden gems and experiences waiting to be discovered. Be sure to explore the peaceful surroundings and immerse yourself in the welcoming community spirit that makes Crich so special.

"We both loved providing holiday accommodation, meeting all sorts of people, hearing about their lives, and making sure they had all they needed."
