Enjoy far-reaching countryside views from this rural bungalow close to Ashford in the Water. A wonderful sunny terrace and spacious lounge with a wood burner make this a single-storey holiday home for all seasons, while for walks all the pack will love, the traffic-free Monsal Trail is nearby.
You’ll feel the warm welcome the moment you step into the spacious hallway here, where there’s space to store boots, coats, dog leads and towels. Wander into the lounge and you’ll find plenty of comfortable seating, a Smart TV and beautiful views through floor-to-ceiling windows of the surrounding countryside; a wood burner will add a glow to get-togethers in the cooler months. Light floods into the contemporary kitchen where the culinary essentials include a Range-style cooker and there’s space to dine and plan your adventures. After a day in the great outdoors, the three bedrooms – two doubles and one twin – are super peaceful and share the use of a bright and airy bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. A raised terrace along one side of the bungalow offers somewhere to sit and enjoy the scenery while Fido dries off or dreams about his day; to the other side of the building, there’s a lawn large enough for games of fetch, bordered by field-style fencing.
Chocolate-box Ashford in the Water is a must-see; half a mile from your doorstep, its medieval Sheepwash Bridge is a favourite for family games of Poohsticks. Follow the River Wye for a circular, 4.5-mile walk to Bakewell and back – top up energy levels with one of the town’s famous puddings! – or head out directly from your holiday home to explore the beautiful Monsal Trail. For a complete change of scenery, Chatsworth House is a 12-mile drive away – dogs are welcome throughout the historic garden and 1,000 acres of parkland.
