Surrounded by dramatic Dark Peak countryside, Chinley is a large village with a good range of shops and eateries, and easy rail access to both Sheffield and Manchester. Less than 9 miles away the town of Castleton is home to the famous Derbyshire Blue John stone – visit the caverns where it has been mined for generations to choose a special holiday souvenir. Just 4 miles away, Hayfield was the scene of the 1932 Mass Trespass, when hundreds of people defied the law to walk from the village to Kinder Scout, the highest point of the Peak District. For a different sort of day out, drive 8 miles south to the spa town of Buxton, famed for its elegant architecture, Pavilion Gardens and Opera House.
Enjoy top-class accommodation in this super holiday cottage, one of a group of three created from the former coach house of an elegant Georgian mansion. A beautiful stone-flagged floor, lovely leather seating and a wood burner set the scene for relaxing evenings in the lounge; underfloor heating guarantees warmth, even in winter. The owners’ attention to detail continues in the kitchen/diner, where bespoke units and a Belfast sink complement a contemporary dining suite. A cloakroom completes the convenience of the ground floor. Upstairs, there’s a double bedroom with a beamed ceiling, Juliet balcony and an en suite bathroom, plus a second double bedroom with an en suite shower room – a layout that’s perfect for two couples or a small group of friends.
Enjoy the countryside setting from your patio, where there’s a barbecue and garden furniture to make you feel at home. Guests have shared use of the coach house grounds, too.
