A delightful shepherd’s hut on a peaceful working farm, with far-reaching views of Deepdale and the rolling countryside of Derbyshire, is a perfect haven for couples or solo travellers seeking a tranquil holiday. Enjoy the charm of the quiet countryside, just a stone’s throw from the village of Taddington, where in August (check dates) the local people still hold a traditional Well Dressing festival. Discover the elegant spa town of Buxton (4 miles), with its arcades, boutique shops, Pavilion Gardens, eateries, and the Opera House with its seasonal events.

Step into this delightful shepherd’s hut, and you will feel instantly at ease. The splendid decor is light and airy, with a playful nod to the surrounding nature. The large windows offer uninterrupted views across the rolling hills of Derbyshire. Unwind in front of the Smart TV or simply admire the stillness of the countryside after a day of exploring. The kitchen has everything you need for light meals or leisurely breakfasts, with a small breakfast bar perfectly positioned by the window to take in the scenery as you dine. Completing the interior is a double bed and a stylish shower room. Outside is your own enclosed private decking area, where a table and chairs offer a perfect, scenic spot to dine alfresco or sip a morning brew surrounded by peace and calm. On starry nights, gather around the fit pit and enjoy the splendid dark sky surroundings. There is private parking for one car.

Venture further afield to visit the iconic and historic estates of Chatsworth House (12 miles) and medieval Haddon Hall (10 miles). Nearby Bakewell (7 miles) is the ‘Gateway to the Peak District’ and is famous as the home of Bakewell Pudding.

I had a fabulous stay in the Hideaway, it was comfortable, and is very private, which I loved, and had everything that you needed. There are loads of things to see within a 30 minute drive, and you have the Monsal Trail right on the doorstep.

Although the property was not appropriate for our circumstances it is an excellent get away from it all for others who are younger and fitter. The property has been made and furbished to a high standard. The property owner was most helpful when we needed assistance. The views from the property and the area are amazing.

Absolute little gem, stunning location just a short walk onto the Monsal Trail. The Shepherds hut has been built to a high standard with all the home comforts you need for a cosy weekend away. Would definitely recommend as a MUST visit. 5 stars from us!!
