Spend many happy hours rambling through the hidden gems of the Peak District before coming home to this impressive, contemporary cottage set in rolling green hills with stunning views all around. The light and bright bolthole is an idyllic base for a group of six and two waggy-tailed companions seeking a tranquil, outdoor getaway.

Lovingly decorated and furnished, this fantastic property is one of three that embrace a fascinating, walled Victorian garden in the heart of Derbyshire. Filled with natural light from the high glass roof and boasting incredible views across the Peaks, the open-plan lounge/diner encourages relaxation, with plush sofas for the humans and lots of snoozing nooks for your furry friends. The galley-style kitchen is ideal for whipping up hearty dinners and doggo snacks, before gathering everyone at the dining table, or outside, to enjoy the chef’s hard work. When bedtime calls, rest up before the next day’s adventure in the three sumptuous bedrooms that await; three double rooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, the other two boasting en-suite shower room. Outside, embrace tranquility in the historic gardens, and enjoy al fresco food and drinks at the outdoor seating near the crackling fire pit and BBQ. With its stunning views and local wildlife, this is an awe-inspiring setting in which to unwind.

Let your dog lead the way to adventure on a walk along the Tissington Trail, the High Peak Trail, or the Monsall Trail - all passing the holiday home. Stop off for a classic namesake dessert in Bakewell (9 miles) or visit the spa town of Buxton (9 miles), with its world-renowned Georgian and Victorian architecture and lively music scene. For the history enthusiasts of the group, Chatsworth House, Pevril Castle, and Haddon Hall are all within 10 miles of the cottage and have fabulous walking routes for humans and hounds.

The property was warm and clean but requires maintenance in places and updating, many things unfortunately failing within the property during our visit. It's a very good location but issues reported need solving before I would revisit or recommend.

Generally this cottage was clean and comfortable with a glorious view of the dale. Kitchen was well equipped and microwave and oven were excellent. The bedrooms in the front, have wonderful views. The back bedroom is much smaller than the other two and needs some updating. The lounge/diner has large comfortable sofas with a central coffee table. WeRead more used the dining table to play board games in the evenings but the lounge could do with better lighting. Hide
