Property code: 77739

Stay here for a delightful rural break, located in the heart of a picturesque Peak District village with amenities on the doorstep. Perfect for families and small gatherings of friends.

Raise the bar with a stay at this gorgeous Peak District cottage that was once a traditional Derbyshire inn. Up to six guests can stay at the enticing, light holiday home set in the pretty village of Hartington. The three-bedroom, stone property, which has a charming, walled garden, has been beautifully converted and makes a wonderful base from which families and couple can explore the national park, while also enjoying the convenience of being close to pubs and shops.

Enter this inviting abode and wander from the hall, with its stone floor, into the welcoming, open-plan kitchen/diner to make a cup of tea. Find everything you need in here too for preparing tasty meals. Light the wood burner, lay the table then perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine while supper roasts. Wander through into the conservatory to take in the green views or choose to relax in the lounge, in the glow of the second wood burner, with the TV on or your book open. Climb the stairs from the lounge up to the first floor to discover a king-size bedroom, with en-suite shower room. A second staircase leads to another king-size, plus a twin, and a family bathroom. Return home from country walks to bask in the sunshine and gaze out over your surroundings from the walled garden. Find parking for two cars at the cottage.

Lace your walking boots and head straight out from home to discover the beauty of Peak District. Follow the 5.5-mile, circular Hartington Dales Walk, for example, through Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale, and along the River Dove. Pick up the High Peak and Tissington trails within 1 mile. Plan a day out to famous Chatsworth House, 15 miles away. Go sailing at Carsington Water, 11 miles from the cottage.

Location is fabulous. Easy to walk or cycle direct from door. Easy to drive to many lovely places. Kitchen equipment was ok but not everything we normally have was there eg scales, oven gloves, fire irons, measuring spoons, pasta bowls. Comfortable enough.

A lovely stay in a very spacious and comfortable cottage. Everything you need is there and the beds were extremely comfortable! The cottage is in an ideal location, just moments away from the village shops and pubs and walking routes are literally on the doorstep!

Cottage was lovely and in a perfect location. Great as a base for walking and 2 good pubs in the village. Just be aware that there are no extras! Bring your own salt and pepper, oil, milk, tea bags, washing up sponges, toilet roll, maps and games and it will be perfect.

This is quite simply an amazing cottage in an amazing village. It had everything that we'd hoped for over Christmas. The weather wasn't ideal but it didn't stop us from going on some lovely walks and visiting the the pub (Devonshire Arms) for a drink.

Charming and cosy cottage with plenty of space for a holiday with a family of 4, plus grandparents. The conservatory was a real sun trap in the afternoons and the log fire was a bonus on the odd wet day, which added a cosy feel.
