A couple’s retreat in the popular village of Ashford-in-the-Water. Stay in this picture-perfect village with miles of countryside walks and many of the Peak District’s hot spots within easy reach.

Stay in this peaceful getaway for two in pretty Ashford-in-the-Water and enjoy a variety of walks from your front door as well as easy access to many of the Peak District’s most-loved destinations.

A typically charming, single-storey stone property from the outside, this desirable cottage is bright and modern on the inside, set out all on one level apart from the four steps that lead down to the front door. Enjoy picturesque views over the village from the kitchen, which is equipped with everything you’ll need to conjure up tasty suppers with ease, before dining at the traditional wooden table in the open-plan lounge. Here there are also a pair of comfortable sofas gathered around the TV and a wood-burner-effect electric stove. This is the spot where you can spend cosy evenings relaxing after a day spent exploring the exceptional countryside nearby. Leading off the lounge, the double bedroom also has a sofa bed, suitable for a child, and there is a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Wrapping around the cottage, the enclosed patio is a fabulous place to sit and take in the wonderful views or partake in an al fresco meal.

From your cottage you can stroll to the village pub, shop and tearooms, as well as its iconic Sheepwash Bridge. Walk to the bustling market town of Bakewell (1.5 miles) for its independent shops, foodie destinations and Monday market – not forgetting to try the renowned Bakewell Pudding – or venture out into the Peaks and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the National Park. There are hikes long and short from Ashford-in-the-Water, and a great one to try is the Monsal Trail, a cycling and walking path through valleys, fells and hills, with caves, viaducts, old mills and mine workings, and some spectacular views.

A lovely cozy flat with a sunny terraced patio. Had everything you need for a break. Nice views too. Ideal for two people and a small dog. Off road parking for your car.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cottage which is ideally located for walking plus it is very handy for the 2 local pubs, both of which are excellent and also for the Tea Room which offers a good selection of food and drinks all of which are reasonably priced.

For the two of us plus our dog it was an excellent choice of cottage. One poster said the bed was uncomfortable but it wasn't for us. Another said the parking was not good for a long car but our long Sorrento estate fitted in nicely.

The cottage is well located in a beautiful little village which has a pub The Bull which is a great friendly place with good food. ( the other pub nearby is being renovated) It is a great location for walks and trails as well as driving out to villages to explore. It had parking which suits a regular car maybe not a larger estate.. there is a smallRead more garden so may not be good for larger dogs. It is comfortable enough for a short stay, quite basic really. Hide

Cosy cottage, on a steep hill but within easy access to lots of walking trails. There is parking in front of the garage doors but a large car probably won't fit, however there's Street parking round the corner. It's such a lovely quiet village you probably don't have to worry about it. The front door is along to the side of the cottage (which is alRead moreso a quiet public footpath) then 2 small steps down, not really a problem. Village shop for basics but Aldi not too far away. Owner is lovely. Hide
