A sumptuous, stone property that was originally a farmhouse, this magnificent retreat is simply idyllic for a group stay. Sleeping 10 guests, the five-bedroom holiday home nestles in picturesque surroundings, with a handful of other cottages, 2 miles from the village of Brassington. A superb area for walking, the property is 1 mile from Harboro Rocks, a dolomite, limestone hill, and 2.5 miles from the Peak District. Matlock, with its many independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, is 4 miles away, while Bakewell, where you can taste the famous pudding, is 12 miles away. Plan a day trip for your group into the Derwent Valley and on to Chatsworth House, 14.5 miles away, with its splendid stately home and grounds.
Let yourselves into the farmhouse to find exquisite accommodation, with underfloor heating, that exudes luxury and comfort at every turn. The inviting lounge/diner has a wood burner for you to fire up after chilly autumn and winter walks and sumptuous seating to settle on as you watch the TV, listen to music or gaze out over the fields. There is also a separate snug, with another wood burner and TV for alternative viewing. The beautiful, farmhouse-style kitchen has all the space and equipment you need for whipping up hearty feasts for you group to serve up either here in the kitchen or through in the dining room. There is also a ground-floor utility room and a family wet room. Head upstairs to discover the luxurious bedroom and bathroom accommodation. Here there are three super-king-size rooms, one with an en-suite shower room and zip-and-link beds that can be made up as twins upon request, and one with an en-suite WC. There is also a king-size bedroom and a bunk bedroom, together with a family bathroom and a family shower room.
The neat gardens offer ample space for children to play out on the lawns; boules and swingball available, and a sledge if it snows! There is also a patio for serving up summer lunches and cooking supper out in the fresh air on the barbecue.
