Property code: OC-DCFRR

A romantic retreat hidden amongst the sweeping countryside; this property is an idyllic location for couples. Discover the best of the Peak District from your doorstep, crossing the famous stones across the river at Dovedale, scramble to the heights of Thorpe Cloud and marvel at Lover’s Leap, and meander alongside the River Manifold as you follow Paradise Walk. It is easy to see why this picturesque location is known as the gateway to the peaks. The town of Ashbourne is 5 miles away, a Victorian market town dotted with tempting eateries and independent shops. It is also an excellent spot to join the Tissington Trail into the peaks, and an ideal vantage point for visiting Carsington Water 11.5 miles away. A hot spot for water sports, cycling and birdwatching. Further afield, Bakewell is 16.5 miles away where you can stroll through the pretty streets and sample a slice of its famous pudding, and Chatsworth is 20.5 miles away for an extra helping of history.

Simply styled and elegant throughout, the open-plan living space is a cosy haven after a busy day. A flame-effect electric fire crackles invitingly for cosy evenings snuggled up watching TV, and there is a dining table next to the window for special dinners and hearty breakfasts. Delve into your welcome pack or pick up some local produce, putting the equipment in the compact galley-style kitchen to good use. On the same level, the bedroom has marvellous views and a comfortable king-size bed. Completing the property is a shower room with a lovely corner cubicle.

Outside, there is a pretty patio for sipping drinks in the sunshine as you reflect on the day’s adventures.

The location is beautiful and so peaceful regardless of being next to a road but be aware that guests cant access the garden at the rear of the property (this is included in the property description). Although it is well-equipped, the kitchen area is tiny but who wants to cook a meal when there are plenty of lovely places where you can eat out! ThRead moree shower is really powerful and there is plenty of hot water and there is more than enough storage in the bedroom, including several coat hangers. I think if you are planning to be out all day and want somewhere cosy for the night this property is ideal. Hide

The cottage is very near perfect, with just one caveat. A delicate matter, we have a firm mattress at home & very much appreciate a comfortable bed. The mattress at the property is extremely 'soft'. For us, it spoilt the otherwise very comfortable stay. We would seek to rebook in the future, but not as things are with the bed. I repeat the propRead moreerty is excellent, thanks to the kind owners. Hide
