Nestled between Bakewell and Matlock, the picturesque village of Youlgreave offers an ideal base for exploring the beauty of the Derbyshire Dales. Stay at this characterful, stone-built cottage as a couple or small family and discover the crackling wood burner in the cosy lounge, or make the most of the private outdoor spaces where a summer house and outdoor dining set await.
Inside, the tastefully decorated interiors feature wooden beams and exposed stone walls throughout. The inviting lounge, complete with quality furnishings and a cosy wood burner, sets the tone for relaxing evenings in watching the TV/DVD player. The adjacent dining area is perfect for enjoying meals together, and the light-filled kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for easy self-catering. After a day of exploration, retreat to one of the two beautifully appointed first-floor bedrooms. One bedroom features a charming Victorian double bed, while the other offers a single bed. These bedrooms share a sleek, contemporary shower room for your convenience. To the front of the cottage, there’s a lovely garden with outdoor furniture and a summerhouse, perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee. At the rear, a patio with a bistro table and chairs offers a quiet spot for al fresco dining or evening drinks. On-street parking is subject to availability.
Once a thriving centre for lead mining, Youlgreave retains its historic charm with narrow, winding streets and characterful old buildings, including an impressive church that stands as a testament to its prosperous past. Nearby Matlock Bath (9 miles) is a must-visit, renowned for its Heights of Abraham cable cars and the stunning Little Switzerland gorge. A 4-mile trip brings you to Bakewell, a riverside gem famous for its unique pudding, beautiful stone architecture and medieval arched bridge.
