Whether you’re in the area to embrace challenging walks in the Peak District National Park or simply mosey around nearby market towns, the location of this property couldn’t be more perfect. An ideal bolthole for two to unwind, the cottage lends itself to a romantic getaway with plenty of options for activities a short walk or drive away. The cottage welcomes one dog making it the perfect base for a walking holiday with man’s best friend. Set off and discover the varied landscapes of the glorious Derbyshire countryside from here, exploring the ancient woodland and rugged moors of the famous Heart of England.

Compact and cosy, this barn conversion offers the perfect amount of space for two and a dog to call their own. The open-plan living space on the ground floor is kept cosy thanks to the wood burner. Throw a log on the fire and let the warm ambience fill the room as you prepare your meals, hopefully with some local produce picked up on your travels. Set atop a hill, this property boasts remarkable views from both its patio space outside and the galley bedroom on the first floor. We’ve no doubt you’ll never tire of waking up to that view each and every morning throughout your stay.

Adventurers will delight staying this close to the Carsington Water reservoir (3 miles), a place for fishing, water sports or perhaps just a circular walk.

This is a very cosy cottage tucked away on the edge of a very quiet village. It is perfect for a couple or a couple with a dog as there are lots of places to walk. The log burner is a nice touch and soon heats the whole place if it turns cold in the evening.

The cottage was clean and cosy, it stands on its own and has a small terrace. I have a dog and there is a short walk from the door to a small wooded area which is useful for the early or late toilet trip. Everything you could need has been supplied and the owners welcome feedback on any shortage/improvement in the suggestion book.

Cottage compact but kitted out very well. Well worth walking to the village but you definitely need the torch (kindly provided). The need to turn the car around at the end of the road before attempting to get into the drive is a little daunting.
