Step back in time and stay in this gorgeous stone property at the heart of a chocolate-box village, tucked within the stunning landscape of the Peak District. Boasting timber beams, a crackling wood burner and classic furniture, it is a fantastic choice for six humans and one pooch. Imagine chilly nights curled up in front of the flickering embers of the wood burner, a glass of wine in hand and a sleeping canine by your side.

Kick off your boots and hunker down for a warming brew and slab of homemade cake in the cosy wood burner-warmed dining room, slipping your beloved hound a few tasty morsels under the vast table. A farmhouse-style kitchen provides budding cooks with everything they need to transform fresh produce into a tantalising array of treats, which can also be enjoyed al fresco in the sunny garden. Retire to the lounge for a nightcap by the wood burner, snuggling up in front of a film. There’s a handy utility room, and all three bedrooms are upstairs on the first floor, along with a lavish family bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. The bedrooms are irresistible after a busy day, consisting of super-king-size zip-and-link with en-suite shower, a king-size room, and a fabulous bedroom with bunk beds.

The village of Wetton is an enchanting place to explore, offering a selection of scenic trails straight from your doorstep. Climb to the top of the picturesque Dovedale Valley, 3.5 miles away, padding across the tumbling landscape down to the meandering River Dove for a picnic on the riverbank, or hop on your bike and discover the Tissington Trail. Your waggy-tailed friend can join you for every adventure and will adore taking the lead sniffing for rabbits along the route leading to Thor’s Cave, 1 mile away.

We had a lovely stay in Ivy House, a great location and a spacious but cosy house. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing which led to a bit of stress was the slow email communication before we arrived and some confusion around a travel cot. They sorted it all out for us in the end which we were grateful for, but our initial email was Read moreunanswered for nearly 2 weeks which was disappointing. Hide

Ivy House is a lovely property situated in a typical Dales village. It was a really relaxing place to stay and very comfortable. We enjoyed being able to walk from the village and the surroundings are beautiful. There is also a nice pub in the village which gets very busy at the weekend, so advise to book ahead.

A lovely stay, lovely spot, lovely cottage. It had all we needed for cooking family meals. Note the small bedroom is very small. Really only suitable for children. We hadn't taken this in from the photos. All bathrooms including toilets are upstairs, worth noting for anyone with mobility issues. Lovely garden, gets the sun most of the day. Back garRead moreden secure enough for our lurcher. Next to church, with local pub a few steps away, that does simple home cooked food. Great walking from the door. Hide
