Property code: OC-94059

This lavish countryside cottage with easy access to cycle trails and walking routes across Derbyshire offers the perfect, chic space for families to unwind with their pooch in tow. Enjoy memorable days in your scenic surroundings, with the dog sniffing the way to adventure, before returning for a group feast in the charming, open-plan living space that awaits.

Formerly a forge, this stylish, single-storey accommodation seamlessly blends original features with contemporary interior design, creating a special and memorable getaway. Prepare a tasty meal for four in the sleek kitchen, with its wooden beamed ceiling, exposed brick wall, and a dining table fitting all your guests. The open-plan design ensures conversation at every turn, and leads through to the delightful lounge space, complete with comfy seating to kick back on and watch the Smart TV as the pooch snoozes at your feet. When night calls, walk through to the two well-appointed bedrooms; a king-size room with a TV bed, and a cosy twin. Serving the rooms and completing the inside is a stylish family bathroom. Outside, unwind in tranquil and enclosed courtyard, the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cuppa whilst fido takes in the fresh air.

Groups who enjoy exploring areas on two feet (and four) are well-placed to see the breathtaking nature of Goyt Valley (6 miles). Pack a picnic and head for the 2-mile route, which runs past the stunning waters of the River Goyt and is backed by picturesque woodland and limestone rock. The Sett Valley Way is an idyllic route for those searching for more gorgeous landscapes. The local town of New Mills is popular with locals and visitors thanks to its great pubs, shops and restaurants, while the historic spa town of Buxton (10 miles) offers a wide range of independent and unique shops as well as classic architecture and charming arcades.

The property was beautifully decorated and very well equipped, spotlessly clean and great hosts. We loved it so much we extended our stay while we were there. We went off hiking everyday as all places were within easy reach, we had beautiful weather and it was a joy to come back to this lovely property at the end of each day.

Beautifully appointed modern cottage conversion Close to New Mills town centre via the riverside paths which are very picturesque. Good train connections with two local stations and easy access to the Peak District and Manchester. Leisure centre across the road. Can be a bit of road noise first thing in the morning but otherwise peaceful.
