Set in the grounds of a working farm 18 miles south of the Peak District, this delightful Derbyshire getaway is beckoning your friends, furries and families. Stock up on essentials and fresh local finery at the farm and coffee shop, just a few strides away. Explore the local villages and towns of Hilton (0.5 miles), Etwall (2 miles) and Tutbury (3 miles), complete with superb independent shops, eateries, gardens, galleries and canine-cordial pubs. Enjoy a refreshing pint at the National Brewery Centre in Burton upon Trent (5 miles).
Inside, you’ll find a gloriously light and airy single-level cottage, with sweet country views from every window. You and your four-legged friends will love the open-plan flow of the lounge/kitchen/diner; open the French doors and soak up the vista from your sofa. Prepare sumptuous farm-fresh feasts in the gleaming kitchen, and savour them around the dining table, by the TV, on the lawned and fenced garden or the wide, enclosed veranda, with wine, sunsets and moonlight. Soak in the blissful bathroom’s spacious tub or in the master bedroom’s en-suite shower, before finding Derbyshire dreams in the beautiful bedrooms. Chill with some coarse fishing in the 5-acre lake.
Discover Derby’s 2,000 years of history (9.5 miles); explore its Gothic cathedral, museum and art gallery, real ale pubs, and Darley and Markeaton Parks. Uncover Sinai Park House’s mysterious ghost stories (8.5 miles), wander in wonderful Kedleston Hall’s vast grounds (10.5 miles) and refine your focus at peaceful Calke Abbey (16 miles). Feed your thrills at Uttoxeter Racecourse (11 miles), Donington Park Circuit (15 miles) and exquisite Dovedale, with its tors, gorges and valleys (20 miles). Amazing adventures await.
