Tamara Keeling, The Tower

Tamara Keeling is the owner of The Tower, a unique holiday rental just outside Bolsover. Part of The Works, a former water treatment plant that has been beautifully refurbished, The Tower now offers visitors a chance to stay somewhere truly memorable, full of history, character, and charm.

Since opening, The Tower has welcomed guests from across the UK and around the world—bringing new visitors into the Bolsover District and helping to boost local tourism. But for Tamara, it’s not just about bookings, it’s about helping people make lifelong memories and discover everything the area has to offer.

Each stay is accompanied by local recommendations, from independent shops and eateries to outdoor adventures and historical sites. Whether it’s a peaceful weekend retreat or a full exploration of Derbyshire, Tamara ensures guests leave with a real sense of place, and a reason to return.

Her favourite places to recommend? Creswell Crags for history lovers, and pony trekking in the countryside, which she believes beats the Peak District for charm and experience!

Tamara is passionate about getting the word out about Bolsover, its location, its heritage, and its future. She sees it as a district full of variety, potential and stories still waiting to be discovered.

Three words to describe Bolsover? Surprising. Historical. Upcoming.

“It’s a hidden gem with so much potential.”
