Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Repton

The village of Repton lies on the edge of the River Trent floodplain in the county of Derbyshire. A former capital of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia, it is close to the Staffordshire border and seven miles north east of the market town of Burton upon Trent. Not to be missed on self-catering holidays in Repton, St Wystan’s Church is renowned for its Anglo-Saxon crypt, where two Mercian kings are buried. To the church’s east, you will discover the remains of Repton Priory, an Augustinian house founded in 1172. The main road through the village is lined with fine Georgian houses and cottages. A pint of local ale at the Bull’s Head or the Red Lion is a must, just a short stroll from your holiday cottage in Repton. There is also a cricket pitch and a small grocery in the village centre. A walk in Willington Wetlands Nature Reserve is highly recommended, west of the village. Look out for sand martins, terns, dragonflies and damselflies as you explore this former gravel pit.
