Property code: 48675

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this charming cabin for two surrounded by the unspoilt rolling countryside of the Peak District; romantic country walks await to be explored from the doorstep.

Your countryside surroundings never feel far in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which boasts large picture windows that maximise far-reaching views; on a fine evening, invite the outside in by throwing open the patio doors. The natural wood hues immerse you in the beauty of the great outdoors whilst the roaring wood burner sets a truly warming ambience that invites tired travellers to unwind and dine with loved ones long into the evening. Sharing the same quaint charm as the rest of the cabin, the double bedroom provides a haven of serenity to retire to. If you’ve got plenty of energy left, the exercise and relaxation room in the separate annexe offers the perfect spot for yoga, bodyweight exercises or mindfulness against the beautiful countryside backdrop. Outside, enjoy dining alfresco on the decking or patio as you soak up the peaceful tranquillity of the cattle grazing on the pastures around the farm. Outside, you’ll also find ample parking.

This wonderfully rural spot deep in the Peak District is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with a myriad of scenic country lanes, cycle routes and pretty bridleways beginning from the doorstep. Known as the gateway to Dovedale, the charming market town of Ashbourne, 3.5 miles away, is steeped in history, home to more than 200 listed buildings and a great selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants as well as a weekly open-air market. Surrounded by 105 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, culture vultures can explore the magnificent stately home of Chatsworth House, 20 miles away, whilst thrill-seekers can enjoy blood-pumping rollercoasters at Alton Towers, 14.5 miles away.

The cottage is situated in a remote area accessed by single track roads, the road leading to the cottage is very bumpy so not good for a low car, beautiful scenery, and plenty of areas to go for walks, lovely weekend break.

Cosy lodge sited on top of a hill with magnificent views. Everything is catered for apart from your food and clothing. A note to add is the property is approximately two miles from a main road up a narrow lane that has a decent road surface.
