Pull on your walking boots, grab a lead and head out on fabulous walks on the High Peak Trail right from your front door. Ideal for couples and small families who love the great outdoors, this dog-friendly cottage offers everything you’ll need for a superb getaway, including a garden with gorgeous views and a wood burner to ward off winter chills.
Converted from a former railway building, this postcard-pretty escape is charming inside and out. Start by unloading your car onto the trolley provided and transport your luggage along the path to your front door. The living space is a lovely combination of pretty fabrics, rustic beams and a stone floor, furnished with an antique dining table at one end and comfortable seating gathered around a wood burner and a Smart TV at the other. Stroll through to the kitchen and you’ll find all the facilities necessary for holiday cooking, including a range-style cooker. A WC and utility room complete the ground floor, while upstairs you’ll find a king-size bedroom and a double room, both with glorious rural views. The two bedrooms share an elegant family shower room. The garden is a fabulous place in which to sit and relish the amazing views – perhaps greeting occasional walkers and cyclists as they go past on the trail at the front of the property. Private parking for one car is also available.
The cottage is just 1.5 miles from the edge of the Peak District National Park. You can hike to Hopton Quarry Nature Reserve or Harboro Rocks, a limestone hill with fabulous views, in just 1 mile, while if you fancy some retail therapy or a meal out, head to the market town of Wirksworth, 2.5 miles. Tissington and Bakewell are 7 and 12 miles respectively, while historic Chatsworth House is 14 miles.
