Property code: OC-A42837

This is an Idyllic holiday home tucked away within the picture-postcard village of Ashford-in-the-Water, with elegant interiors and a cosy wood burner. Sleeping four guests and two canine friends, this charming bolthole has all you need for a relaxing stay in the Peak District, with a pub, tearoom and village shop just opposite for your convenience.

Beneath the timeless charm of this gorgeous village property is a haven of homely comforts, a crackling wood burner and tastefully designed rooms. Find yourselves making a fresh pot of tea in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, and perch up on the bar seating with the maps sprawled out in front of you. The soft green tones continue through into the cosy lounge, where you’ll be met with soft seating and the urge to get stuck into the latest bestseller. On sunny evenings, choose from two distinct outdoor spaces: the first is a pretty enclosed garden to watch the world go by, while the shared courtyard is to the rear, with another table and chairs to enjoy alfresco suppers. Pull on your supplied luxurious dressing gowns and hunker down for the night, and when it’s time to turn in, climb into one of two sumptuous king-size beds.

The delightfully charming village of Ashford-in-the-Water is ideally located for exploring the nooks and crannies of the Peak District. A friendly pub, tearoom and village shop sit practically outside the front door, or venture over to the golden-stone streets, independent shops and welcoming cafés or Bakewell (5 miles). The rolling surroundings provide endless waymarked walking routes, including the Monsal Trail and the Tissington Trail, which can be joined from the village. Other landmarks that are a must-see are Chatsworth House (5.5 miles) and Haddon Hall (5 miles).

We absolutely loved our stay at this lovely cottage. It has been beautifully renovated, and everything feels fresh, comfortable and very thoughtfully done. The kitchen was a delight to use and had everything we could possibly need, while the sitting room was cosy and invitingperfect for curling up with a book in the evening. The bedrooms were beautRead moreifully furnished, and the large bathroom, with its lovely soaking tub, walk-in shower, fluffy towels and bathrobes, was a real treat. The location was one of our favourite things about the cottage. The village is beautiful and peaceful, and we could easily walk to two wonderful local pubs, a charming tea room and a hotel restaurant. Theres even a small grocery shop on the same street. We enjoyed sitting in the pretty, flower-filled garden at the front and watching the birds. It really felt like a home away from home, and we would happily stay here again. Hide

The owner has thought of everything. Probably the best equipped cottage ever. It's the 1st time we have come across a larder containing a large number of staples. The owner even provided duck food & dog treats. The cleanliness was outstanding with the bathroom being particularly luxurious. The cottage is extremely comfortable and the kitchen lackedRead more nothing in terms of equipment. Although check out was 10 am, we received a really thoughtful text the evening prior, to let us know that the next occupants had changed their booking and we were free to leave at our leisure. We very much appreciated this. Everything about it is high quality. The 2 pubs are very close (dog friendly) & there are lovely walks nearby. The location is very convenient for Bakewell. There has been evident attention to detail, convenience & comfort. If we could give it an 'excellent' rating, we would. Hide

A lovely cottage, tastefully decorated, private garden and own car park Quite near road, so a little noise from road traffic, but well worth it, as location is perfect. Would recommend

A really lovely cottage. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms and an amazing large bathroom with walk-in shower. Downstairs it was smaller but for us, a couple with a spaniel, it was still spacious enough and very well equipped. The pretty front garden was fully enclosed so the dog could be left out safely. The location was perfect for us in the hRead moreot weather, with a selection of eating places and walks close by. Excellent in every respect. Hide
