This spacious property is set in rural splendour, offering complete privacy for eight humans and two hounds to enjoy a special family holiday at the heart of the Peak District. Discover the surrounding grasslands and pockets of woodland with your four-legged friend, heading into Ashbourne 7 miles away to stroll through the pretty streets and visit one of the tearooms. When your paws grow weary, your accommodation awaits with its roaring wood burners, ample socialising spaces and tempting hot tub.

Bask in the views from the comfort of the kitchen/diner, tucking into hearty feasts prepared with the range of gadgets at your disposal. The chic lounge area is brimming with olde-worlde charm with its timber beams and cosy wood burner, but there is a separate games room with reversible air hockey and pool table with table tennis top to keep everyone entertained. There are four bedrooms to choose from divided between the ground floor and first floor, each one beautifully styled and featuring handy zip-and-link beds that can be converted into super-king-size beds or twins on request. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, and there is a bathroom and shower room to choose from too. Outside, the vast patio overlooks the countryside and has a BBQ and fire pit for cosy evenings under the stars.

Alsop-En-Le-Dale is a quintessential village that’s popular with walkers and cyclists thanks to the Tissington Trail that can be accessed within 7 miles. Your pup will adore scampering through the countryside, visiting top locations such as Dovedale with its stepping stones and dramatic backdrop of fells 6 miles away. Bakewell is 11.5 miles away and is a delightful place to visit too with its honeyed-stone properties and tempting eateries serving slabs of the iconic pudding that gives the town its namesake.

What a beautiful stay. It has everything you need for a peaceful getaway in a stunning setting, while still being within easy reach of plenty of attractions. The house is spacious, light and airy, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well equipped, and the extra towels for the hot tub are a thoughtful touch. The views from the hot tub are fantasRead moreticespecially if you have little ones, who will love watching the tractors on the neighbouring working farm. The owners are very responsive and quick to answer any questions, which made everything easy and stress-free. We also visited the local pub (a bit too far to walk with young children, but only a short drive). The food was excellent, and theres a great park for kids opposite. Would absolutely recommendwed happily stay again if we return to this lovely area. Thank you Hide

Beautiful setting. Very well equipped cottage. Beds super comfy and can be twin or superking size. Downstairs bedrooms and a bathroom were a bonus for us as I was on crutches. Lovely welcome gifts/supplies. The garden/hot tub/bbq will be stunning in the Spring/Summer. We still enjoyed the hot tub, but it was wintertime. The views are spectacular.
