Tucked away down a peaceful country lane, this charming cottage combines period charm with modern comforts and overlooks its own scenic gardens, providing the perfect escape for large groups of friends or families in the Derbyshire countryside. Inside, bask in the warmth of the roaring open fire, and outside, dine alfresco on the patio, play a game of fetch with Fido, and stargaze around the fire pit.
Step inside to a welcoming hall with plenty of space for coats and boots, leading into an elegant dining room complete with an open fire. The dining table comfortably accommodates 12 guests, making it ideal for larger groups. A few steps down, you'll find the cosy lounge, also boasting an open fire to toast cold paws on chilly winter nights. The stylish, well-equipped kitchen includes everything you need to whip up a feast, then you can gather around the table to share a meal and plan your next day’s adventures. When it's time to retire for the night, choose from five beautifully decorated bedrooms. Off the dining room, a staircase leads to the master bedroom with a luxurious king-size bed, an electric fire, and an en-suite shower room. A second staircase from the hall takes you to a cosy twin bedroom. The ground floor hosts the remaining bedrooms – two more king-size rooms (one with a vanity unit) and a single room, each individually styled to reflect its unique character. These ground-floor bedrooms share a bathroom and a separate shower room. Outside, enjoy BBQ dinners on the patio with ample seating or gatherings around the fire pit while pets and children play on the lawn. Ample off-street parking is available for several cars.
From here, you can easily explore the Peak District National Park, with stunning walking trails on your doorstep, including to the famous Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale Stepping Stones, and the River Dove’s water meadows. The nearby market town of Ashbourne (3.5 miles) has a selection of independent shops alongside dog-friendly cafes and pubs. For pups with energy to burn, Carsington Water Reservoir (8 miles) offers scenic walking and cycling paths around its 8-mile perimeter, or try the Tissington and Manifold trails (2 miles and 8 miles, respectively).
