This year, our B&B in Derbyshire has seen a spectacular increase in the number of couples booking their stay with Cascades Gardens for a romantic break.

Cascades Gardens Bed and Breakfast is a stylish 1823 Georgian House full of character with a 4 acre spectacular garden, much adored by our guests. The garden is at its best during spring and summer and is ideal for a garden wedding reception.

All the rooms in our luxury B&B Derbyshire are spacious, the beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are luxurious.

The couples who have visited have all enjoyed their Romantic Breaks in Derbyshire and have left some wonderful reviews:

The open garden weekend turned out to be a great success with over £1700 being made for village charities. This year the event had been organised by Alan Clements the owner of Cascades gardens.  Alan was delighted with the marvellous support the event received, with over 500 people visiting the 16 open gardens.

Below is a copy of the map, showing all the 16 gardens and pictures showing the beautiful cascades garden.

The latest issue of the Derbyshire magazine contains an article by Lynne Dixon about the Gardens and how they were taken from an overgrown mess to the spectacle they are now. If you would like to read the article click here, otherwise below are some of the images taken from the article.

On the 13th and 14th June the village of Bonsall will host an open garden weekend. There will be 20 gardens on show that will be open to the public ranging from 4 acre cascade gardens to small picturesque cottage gardens,  there will also be the chance to visit the Bonsall allotments.

A number of the gardens will sell a wide range of plants and provide tea and coffee to visitors

This is a lovely day out for all the family in the delightful village of Bonsall on the outskirts of Matlock.

The Matlock Mercury recently reported that a new fruit and veg scheme that has been launched in the local area was a huge success.

The program, which was launched at the Matlock Children’s Centre in partnership with the Derbyshire Dales CVS aims to make it easier for people to get their 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. The Children’s Centre is “committed to help families learn, succeed and live happily and children’s centres are part of this work.”

The fruit, veg and salad bags have been really popular and exceeding everyone’s sales expectations. The scheme allows people to pre-order the bags from the Children’s Centre which are then collected from a local farm on Monday Mornings.

At Cascades we have a small area of our Derbyshire Garden devoted to growing vegetables. All visitors who stay at Cascades have the opportunity to walk around and explore the garden. You can look round the vegetable patch  and look at our fantastic selection of hellebores and herbaceous perennials.

The annual Bonsall Village Well Dressing and Carnival recently took place.

The sun was shining and lots of people from the village turned out and had a great day. Each year the carnival attracts more and more visitors to our small village, it really helps to boost and promote the many small businesses in and around the Matlock area.

The guests who stayed over in our luxury B&B during the Carnival weekend had a really great time meeting the friendly villagers and exploring the many attractions on offer.

At Cascades Gardens, B&B in Derbyshire, we really like to hear what people have to say after they have stayed in our luxury bed and breakfast or having been on a tour of the public garden.

We recently came across an excellent online review on the Trip Advisor website. Here’s a little snippet:

“We found this little haven of peace by chance in Bonsall when we were looking for a 1 night stopover around the Peak District…and what a find it was!

“We can’t comment on the other rooms at the B&B, but the Garden Suite which we stayed in was fantastic! It really does look as good in reality as it does on the website.”
