Overview
Property code: 82117

Situated next to the owner’s home, offering complete privacy is this charming pet-friendly cottage which boasts lots of original character alongside comfortable furnishings for a home from home escape.

Situated outside the village of Ashford-In-the-Water, in the peace and quiet of the rolling Peak District countryside. Bring your walking boots, as there is a, virtually private, public footpath from which a myriad of countryside walks await; the cottage provides easy access to explore beautiful surrounding scenery, for example, Monsal Head & Trail or the quaint village of Little Longstone with eatery pub The Packhorse Inn. Ashford-in-the-Water is a picture-postcard, popular Derbyshire village, offering two country pubs and a village shop. Indulge in the restful surroundings and take a picnic along the banks of the River Wye, by the Sheepwash Bridge. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just a short drive away. Alternatively, meander through the shops and cafes of Bakewell, home to a weekly Monday market and the renowned Bakewell Pudding. Its twin, spa-town, Buxton, is only 20 minutes away and offers a lively arts scene, including the opera house.

Step into the cottage, via the kitchen, which offers everything you need to rustle up a hearty meal, including an electric oven and induction hob, fridge and dishwasher. Come together around the dining table, and plan the day’s activities ahead, over a long and lazy breakfast. There is a handy downstairs shower room, with a shower and WC. Also, there is ample space for storing coats and shoes. After a day’s hiking the hills, put your feet up on the corner sofa in the lounge, light the cosy wood-burner and wind down, whilst watching something on the TV. Head upstairs to find two bedrooms. A double bedroom, with lovely views from the bed, has an en-suite bathroom, with shower over bath and WC. A little further along the hall is where you will find the twin bedroom. Take your time to enjoy a lie-in with a cup of tea.

Outside relax in the enclosed garden with bench seating and BBQ. Surrounded by mature planting providing a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the summer sun. There is off-road parking for 2 cars.

This cottage was adequate for our short stay but was rather underwhelming. For what we paid, we have stayed in far more warming and more welcoming properties through the years. It seems to have very good reviews but when I leave comments, I think it's important to be honest and although it suited our needs for 4 nights, I wouldn't be returning. We Read moreall have different expectations and so it's important for people to have their own opinions. Hide

A lovely cosy cottage ideally situated for walks and attractions such as Chatsworth and the Heights of Abraham. The garden was large enough for our dog to potter about in and we could walk him in the adjacent fields. We really enjoyed our stay.
