Overview
Property code: OC-DCELT

A magnificent historic property situated in true Peak District splendour, this spacious holiday home sleeps ten and has everything you need for a truly special stay. Situated in the village of Elton, you’ll be in a prime position for exploring Cratcliffe Rocks, venturing into Gratton Dale to marvel at the inspiring views and peaceful surroundings. Matlock Bath is 7 miles away with its interesting lead mining museum, Heights of Abraham cable cars and Little Switzerland Gorge, or why not venture into Bakewell 7 miles away to explore the charming streets and sample the famous pudding? For those who can’t resist a bit of adrenaline, Carsington Water is 10 miles away and a hub for water sports.

This grand period property has been a family home for generations and features antique furniture that blends seamlessly with the beamed ceilings, stone-flagged floors and oak panelling. Light the wood burner and sink into the deep sofas with a glass of wine, getting ready to watch Sky TV or play board games, or move through to the spacious hall and appreciate the open fire in here. The kitchen is a haven for foodies, providing ample worktop space and appliances for preparing a feast for your entire party, best enjoyed in the formal dining room by candlelight. Upstairs, the bedrooms continue with the traditional theme, each featuring substantial oak antique furniture that is in keeping with the style of the property. Two bedrooms have an additional single bed, making them excellent choices for families, one of which has a fabulous four-poster bed and the other a 4’ double bed; there is a third bedroom with king-size bed and the main double bedroom, with half-tester bed, includes an en-suite shower room hidden behind the oak panelling. Before retiring to bed you’ll be unable to resist a long soak in a roll-top bath or an invigorating shower, choosing from either the downstairs or first-floor bathroom.

Outside, the lawned garden is a treat for al fresco dining and garden games. There is a garden room for all-weather use, plus useful bike storage for your bicycles.

The property is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped with a good broadband signal and modern smart TV. The host was warm & welcoming and had us settled in no-time-at-all. All rooms were cleaned to a high standard and the beds proved very comfortable. The property location is ideal for visits to Bakewell, Matlock and Chatsworth House, anRead mored as a manageable base for walks in the Derwent Valley. We had a very relaxing stay and heartily recommend this property as an ideal residence for large families or groups of friends Hide

Much to celebrate about the house. Our host was excellent and we loved the box of goodies with a lovely welcoming fire when we arrived. The location is great for short or longer walks and perfect for dog owners. We will be back!

Is this the best Derbyshire/UK cottage? Yes!! Unanimous. The renovations were beautiful. The Porsche toilet roll holder, baths & showers & the BIG table. We started at the swimming place in Youlgreave and did short walks from Elton. Thank you Pauline and Jeremy for a memorable Golden Wedding Weekend.
