A spacious glamping pod tucked away in a peaceful spot in the Derbyshire countryside, perfect for a couple and their four-legged friend. It boasts a private decked area with an outdoor bath making the most of the remarkable views, and a warming wood burner.

Located on a working dairy farm, this unique retreat is deceptively spacious with its thoughtful and intriguing oval-shape design. Step through the bi-folding doors which lead into the large open-plan living space, where you will find natural wood finishes and contemporary colours. The pretty kitchen area is ideal for preparing romantic meals that you can enjoy outside, or at the quaint breakfast bar. Curl up on the sofa set in front of a wood burner and warm up your chilly toes and paws. When you are ready for some much-needed sleep, get comfortable in the king-size bed. Completing the interior of the retreat is a stylish shower room. Outside, a private decked area makes the very best of the stunning countryside views, with seating, and an outdoor bath. Parking is provided for one car.

Set tails wagging and explore the beautiful countryside from this property. Climb the hill to Crich Strand (1 mile) where you will find the memorial tower or enjoy the woodland walks at Whatstandwell (2 miles). Take a trip to the fantastic Heights of Abraham (6 miles) with its caverns and gorges; dogs are welcome on the cable car. You will find the vibrant town of Matlock just 4 miles away.

Bilberry Barrel is a pod, not a cottage. It is compact but has most things needed for this type of break. Obviously no room for washing machine or oven (there is a microwave though and a small hob) It is very clean and tidy. Most accessories appear new. There was an incident when we arrived but the owners dealt with it swiftly and professionally. Read moreThey are very friendly. The view is stunning and the location is ideal for exploring this part of Derbyshire. Not a property for everyone (due to compact size) but cannot be faulted in any other aspects. Hide

Spent Monday to friday at bilberry barrel. Was entranced by the view. The local countryside was amazing. And even though the weather was very changeable it just added to the amazing view from inside the barrel. Would highly recommend

Met the host who was verypleasant, taking timeto chat and explain the history and futureplans for the farm, a very friendly and approachable lady, thanks for taking the time to chat. The only thing I would suggest is maybe some sort of wind break /diffuser on the the decking between the barrel and the cowshed as the wind seemed to blow right acrosRead mores making the decking a little chilly, otherwise faultless.

We totally enjoyed our weekend with you, the accommodation was beautiful and very well equipped. It was such a pleasure to wake up each morning to the cows roaming around and the dogs visiting for a fuss. We will definitely be booking again during the summer.

Really lovely break. The cabin is down a track, close to the farm house. Wonderful views across the fields, and sunsets. The bath outside is a lovely touch, after a long day walking we had a well deserved soak overlooking stunning views. Very clean and modern inside. The hosts were on hand to help us and provided the extra bed linen so we could makRead moree up the sofa bed, which I had forgotten to request, so that was very appreciated. Perfect relaxing break for my sister and I. Pubs nearby and walks. Hide
