Overview
Property code: 75296

Take a break in this cosy cottage adjoining the owners farmhouse with stunning views from the doorstep over the Peak District rolling hills, providing easy access to spend a day at Bakewell, Chatsworth and nearby Matlock.

Set along the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park, this character farmhouse provides wonderful holiday accommodation for four guests. Originally a dairy farm and now a smallholding set in 5 acres, the property adjoins the owners farmhouse and offers glorious rural views and makes a lovely holiday retreat for couples and small families. With free-range chickens pecking around, and sheep grazing in the nearby fields, the cottage is a great getaway for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers exploring the quaint villages, abundant woodlands and superb countryside of the Derwent Valley.

 

A few steps lead down to the courtyard and into the cottage’s welcoming country-style kitchen/diner. Equipped with a wide range of equipment and featuring beautiful, exposed beams, the kitchen is perfect for cooking all your favourite meals which you can share around the charming farmhouse-style oak dining table. Exploring further, the charming lounge features a TV/DVD and plenty of comfortable seating, providing an ideal space for you to all relax in at the end of a great day out. The ground floor also has a handy shower room. The first floor offers two cosy bedrooms: a double and a twin, both tastefully decorated in light and soothing neutral tones. Heading outside, the back garden is a lovely spot for a BBQ or al fresco drinks, and has plenty of outdoor furniture.

 

The cottage makes a fantastic bolthole for exploring the Peak District, with popular destinations nearby including Chatsworth House, the Nine Ladies Stone Circle, Haddon Hall and the picturesque town of Bakewell (all within 7.5 miles).

This was a lovely and homely cottage - perfectly equipped, clean, lots of details like games and books. We recommend it to everyone who loves remote places - a real place to recharge batteries from the challenges of life! Lovely walks from the doorstep, village not far for shopping. Very friendly farmer's lady next door, helpful and welcoming.

Lovely small cottage in a peaceful location. Shelley was great. There was an issue with the heating and she could not have done more to help. Ended up with more logs than we knew what to do with. Great stay.

I stayed a month and it was great to experience the life of living on a farm in the Peak District up in the moors. It is just like the pictures but even better being bigger than expected and very warm central heating. Highest recommendations on every count from me.

We had a lovely stay and Shelly and Steve were great hosts. The cottage was perfect for us and our 7 year old twin sons - they loved the outside area, especially the play equipment and space to play football. Inside the cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring the local area.

Sweet little cottage, well placed to see all of the Peak District. Friendly hosts and everything you need in the cottage, a home from home. Ideal if you have dogs, you can walk straight out of the cottage to a nearby forest with lots of routes to stroll around.

Good location for using as a base. Lovely scenery although lanes were very rocky and steep if you were only walking close by. Well equipped cottage but not much there to keep kids entertained outside. From the photographs didnt realise the cottage was attached to the main house so there was a bit of low noise obviously from both sides which in our Read morecase set the dogs off barking. Lovely visit for a short break. Hide

The old dairy farm house was a lovely retreat, cozy yet spacious. It was very clean and the well appointed kitchen made it easy to cook meals in. Beds were very comfortable and the linens were all fresh.

Lovely cosy cottage, log burner and enclosed garden. Owners were lovely too. Plenty of walks from the front door and no traffic noise or street lights, bliss. Will definitely book again.
