Escape to this cosy lodge on a working farm surrounded by miles of uninterrupted countryside. Set out along the Manifold Valley cycle trail or along the spectacular gorge of Dovedale before stopping for a bite to eat in nearby Ashbourne (11.5 miles), Leek (9 miles) or Buxton (15 miles). At the end of the day, return to your rural retreat for a relaxing evening in front of the wood burner or an al fresco meal with a view.
Perfect for year-round getaways with loved ones, the open-plan living space has been finished with a cosy wood burner, comfortable sofas, warm rugs, ambient lighting and a TV/DVD. When the sun is shining, fire up the BBQ on the decked terrace outside before dining alfresco at the garden furniture on the lawn below. With far-reaching views over rolling countryside, lucky guests will be able to spot some local wildlife as the sun goes down.
Tucked away on the owner’s working farm, this charming lodge is the perfect place to unwind. Situated between the two villages of Butterton and Grindon overlooking the Manifold Valley, there are countless rural walks to be enjoyed directly from the doorstep. Longer walks lead from Thor’s Cave (3.5 miles) and the Manifold Valley (2.5 miles) while Waterhouses (4 miles) and Parsley Hay (11.5 miles) offer bicycle hire for the Tissington Trail. Stock up on supplies or stop for a hearty meal in the nearby towns of Ashbourne, Leek and Buxton or test your nerves at exciting Alton Towers (10.5 miles).
