This dreamy retreat sits in a delightfully secluded spot above Castleton. Complete with bespoke interiors and a wood burner, it’s equally comfortable as a couples’ hideaway or as a bijou bolthole for one.
Masterly crafted to combine authentic ambience with all the contemporary must-haves, this cosy shepherd’s hut makes a fabulous choice for a grown-up getaway. Warm wood tones and space-saving tricks give the interior a calm, restful feel: the double bed is to one side, leaving room for a small table and easy chairs where you can dine, read, and pore over maps as you plan your next day’s adventures. Simple self-catering is effortless in the compact kitchen, while a wood burner in one corner ensures warmth in any weather. The shower room off the kitchen adds an extra level of comfort; freshen up before you climb into bed to watch a late-night movie. Take a seat on the terrace or fire up the BBQ for al fresco dining beneath dark Peak District skies. If you’d like to share your holiday with a larger group of family or friends, other properties are available nearby which sleep a further 14 guests; please ask for details.
Private parking means you can unpack then explore the surrounds at your own pace – just half a mile away, Castleton is famous for its unique Blue John stone, caverns and dramatic scenery. The village is the start of walks taking in Mam Tor, Peveril Castle and Winnats Pass, while Kinder Scout (5 miles) is the highest point in the Peaks. For a more gentle stroll, Chatsworth House (11 miles) has extensive parkland and gardens, while the elegant architecture, Pavilion Gardens and Opera House at spa town Buxton are 10 miles away. Alternatively, discover Speedwell Cavern (0.5 miles) by boat.
