About this property
Horsley Woodhouse 2.1 miles. Situated near a working farm in Coxbench, Derbyshire, home to sheep, chickens, and at the correct time of year, lambs, is this exquisite, single-storey barn conversion, Churn Dash Cottage. Encompassed by luscious countryside while enjoying the comforts of a Smart TV and a hot tub, this holiday home is perfect for a family or a group of friends to escape to the country. Off-road parking greets you before stepping into the open-plan living space, sure to be the social hub of the holiday. The kitchen offers an induction hob and an American-style fridge/freezer so the chef of the family can rustle up a tasty dinner to enjoy out on the patio or at the dining table for four. Complete with a feature fireplace, the sitting area welcomes you to unwind in front of the Smart TV after a day of walking and exploring the area. When sleep calls, two well-presented bedrooms provide the perfect place to rest your head; one king-size bedroom has its own en-suite so you won't be short for places to freshen up, while the twin bedroom benefits from a zip/link feature for a flexible sleeping arrangement, and electric controls, making it ideal for a multi-generational family holiday. There's also a family shower room, fit with a walk-in shower so you can rinse off after a busy day. Outside, take advantage of the beautifully manicured gardens, and take a dip in the hot tub, or make use of the outdoor bar to finish off the evening. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful cottage, there are plenty of walking and cycling as well as nearby golfing opportunities in the area, or you can head outside of the village for attractions and dining options. Belper is a charming market town home to a variety of interesting attractions; the Belper River Gardens are a lovely spot for a walk, and Eyes Meadow is a great place for a picnic, while history buffs will enjoy the Strutt's North Mill Museum, one of the oldest mills in the country.

Churn Dash was everything we expected, and more. Great location, spacious but cosy, clean and had all the amenities you need. Plus a bar area for when the kids go to sleep. Hot tub was great as well. Dawn (the owner) recommended a lovely walk for us to do that lead us to a few pubs. We had two 2yr olds with us who enjoyed the farm in the mornings as we went to visit the horses when they woke up. Loads of pubs that serve great food within a mile or so, park for the kids. Matlock (the next town) has aquarium, arcades and other things to do as well. Couldnât recommend enough! Thanks again, James
