Relax with the family in this lovely character cottage on the outskirts of rural Derbyshire. Spend your days relaxing with good company at the cottage or enjoy the local amenities which are within walking distance.

A traditional, picture-perfect cottage that is full of charm and exceptionally comfortable. Four-legged dogs in particular will love a stay here thanks to the inglenook fireplace in the lounge. While the property feels cosy, it’s deceptively large and can sleep up to eight people plus two dogs - so it’s perfect for an extended family get-together or groups of friends.

Inside, past a space to store coats and boots, guests head through to the kitchen with a beautiful beamed ceiling. It has everything needed to cater easily for a big crowd, plus a utility room to store away any extra groceries as well as a washing machine and dryer. The dining room will be the backdrop for plenty a memorable meal, while the lounge has plenty of comfortable seating for quieter times in front of the wood burner. Two of the bedrooms can be reached by one staircase - both with super-king-size beds that are zip-and-link should twins be required. One of the rooms has an en-suite bathroom. A second staircase leads to another super-king zip-and-link bedroom (again which can be made into a twin upon request) and a double bedroom. A nearby shower room can be used by these rooms. Outside, the pretty enclosed courtyard garden is the perfect place to spend warmer days, as well as being a great place to quickly let the dogs out in the morning. It has outdoor furniture and a BBQ for al fresco meals.

Based on the doorstep of Markeaton Park, dogs will be excited by having so many green spaces immediately available. There are also other sporting activities here for other guests. The pretty town of Ashbourne is close by too which borders the Peak District National Park for more dramatic walks, while the National Trust’s Kedleston Hall is just 3 miles away.

  • 4 bedrooms – 3 super-king zip-and-link bedrooms (which can be made into twins upon request) and a double bedroom
  •  2 bathrooms - 1 en-suite bathroom with shower over bath and WC, 1 shower room with WC, downstairs WC
  • Electric range oven and induction hob, fridge, dishwasher, Dolce Gusto coffee machine and microwave
  • Utility with washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer
  • Wood burner (logs included)
  • Smart TV in the lounge
  • Enclosed courtyard garden with seating and charcoal BBQ
  • Further garden across the road with lawned area suitable for ball games but not dog secure
  • Off-road parking for 3 cars and private parking situated across the road
  • Pub and shop under 1 mile
  • Please note Markeaton Park has a music event the weekend of 12th July 2024, which can affect local traffic and can be heard from the property
  • Arrival: 15:30 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 3 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £350 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £40. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

Lovely cottage. Clean and comfortable. It is on quite a nasty bend in the road so care must be taken when coming out of the front door.

Comfy stay in a charming cottage, right near Markeaton park. I would love to come back in summer! We wanted somewhere quiet but with enough to do. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the cottage. The beds were comfy and there were two main bathrooms and a ground floor loo.

The cottage was great for a cosy family getaway. Beds were comfy. Location on the edge of Markeaton park makes for lovely walks. The cottage is basic but well equipped. Worth being aware the front door opens on to a main road on a bend so caution needs to be taken with dogs and those with mobility issues.
