Warm and welcoming with underfloor heating and stylish interiors, this charming stone cottage offers a perfect romantic retreat for two in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Step inside, and you might be surprised – the rustic exterior gives way to a light-filled, spacious interior with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and skylights.

The open-plan living area invites you to unwind on the cosy sofa or in the comfortable chairs, surrounded by colourful cushions, books, and leafy houseplants. There's a Smart TV for evening entertainment and windows that frame pretty garden views. The compact but well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up a romantic supper for two, which you can enjoy at the dining table. The elegant bathroom features a free-standing bath and walk-in shower for a luxurious soak after a day on the trails. A modern glass-panel staircase leads to a mezzanine bedroom, where a country-style double bed promises restful nights under the eaves. Outside, a small garden area at the front of the cottage is ideal for morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills. Private parking for one car ensures a stress-free stay from arrival.

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Peak Forest, you're well-placed to explore a web of scenic walking and cycling trails, with picturesque villages such as Tideswell and Miller's Dale just over 5 miles away.

We had a wonderful short break in this comfortable, cosy barn. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook each night and the household basics provided were greatly appreciated (condiments, tea/coffee/milk, washing up liquid, soap, toilet roll). Perfectly located to explore the Peak District with a lovely walk from the cottage to Castleton over the fiRead moreelds. We hope to return before too long. Hide

Snelslow Barn is a lovely place to stay. Immaculate clean and very well equipped, located in a beautiful area. There are a lot of beautiful places to explore like Bakewell, Matlock, Buxton, Leek and Castleton. Paul is a great and very kind host, responding quickly when needed.
