This idyllic cottage is in the limestone village of Parwich, in the White Peak area of the Peak District National Park. Sleeping two guests, it’s the ideal bolthole for couples looking to rest and recharge in breathtaking surroundings. Enjoy endless romantic walks from your front door, including along the High Peak Trail, Tissington Trail, and Limestone Way, followed by a visit to the cosy village pub. For shopping and eating out, the vibrant market town of Ashbourne is just 7 miles away.
The traditional, three-storey stone property makes the perfect rural retreat, with its fabulous beamed ceilings, roaring open fire, and country-cottage decor. On the first floor, discover a welcoming lounge, where you’ll find a sumptuous sofa and a couple of armchairs to curl up in with a good book. On a winter’s evening, light the open fire and snuggle up for a movie night in front of the TV/DVD. The ground-floor kitchen/diner is equally full of charm, again featuring exposed beams and a tiled floor. The bespoke kitchen area has everything needed to rustle up delicious dinners for two, which you can share at the sweet dining table next to the warming wood burner. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary bathroom. On the top floor, an attractive king-size bedroom awaits with a vaulted ceiling and a handy en-suite WC. Outside, soak up the peace and tranquillity on the pretty patio, sharing an al fresco supper at the bistro set or sipping a glass of wine. Bike storage is available and the owners have also provided two bicycles which you are welcome to borrow. The cottage has on-street parking, subject to availability.
Journey into Ashbourne to explore its winding, cobbled streets and admire the magnificent Georgian and Tudor architecture. The town has a fantastic array of independent shops and family-owned businesses, along with many cafes, pubs, restaurants, and coffee shops. For those interested in water sports, Carsington Water is just 8 miles away, where you can hire canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. Further afield, Chatsworth House (15 miles) also makes a lovely day out from the cottage.
