About this property
Inviting outdoor-loving couples and up to two canine companions, and just 2.5 miles from the centre of Bakewell this stone-built cottage is set in the heart of the Peak District National Park and offers cosy accommodation and fantastic on-site facilities. With fields, dog paddocks, and tranquil countryside set across 20 acres of shared grounds, this is a great holiday base for pet owners. Enjoy the peace of the cottage’s rural location, but also make good use of the shops, pubs, restaurants, and attractions in the towns of Bakewell and Buxton, both conveniently set within 10.5 miles. For local attractions to discover together, the famous Chatsworth House is one of the region’s most popular and offers a historic day out only 6.5 miles away. For more days out nearby, Alton Towers, Bolsover Castle, Castleton Caves, Crich Tramway Village, Go Ape Buxton, and the Heights of Abraham are all within 25 miles.
Soaked in sun and adorned with hanging baskets and a rustic farmer’s cart wheel, this delightful cottage set across one floor invites you to step in and discover its rural charm. Walk into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, the social heart of the property. In the lounge space, notice the exposed stonework set around the roaring wood burner, offering a most cosy corner for sitting on the soft sofa as you watch the TV or delve into your holiday read. When it’s time to eat, find that the kitchen boasts all the amenities and space needed to cook up a romantic feast for two, which can be enjoyed at the wooden dining table nearby, or alfresco-style out in the private dining area across the courtyard. At night, a sumptuous double bedroom awaits with crisp linens and calming décor. Found through a characterful archway, the bedroom also plays host to a quiet dressing area where you can start and end each day peacefully – a separate put up bed can be added to the dresser area (on request). The well-appointed bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the cottage’s interior.
Outside and across the courtyard awaits a delightful dining area complete with a picnic-style table and a parasol. This scenic spot is for your use only, whether that be for al fresco meals together or unwinding with a book to the sound of birdsong. Elsewhere across this 20-acre site, guests will find plenty of land to explore, a lot of it dog-friendly, as well as a whole host of impressive, shared facilities. Start each day with a quiet walk around two dog paddocks or a circular walking trial. Enjoy al fresco meals with jaw-dropping views from the shared viewpoint and BBQ area, or pre-book the group dining area to make use of its well-equipped kitchen and ample seating. More outside space is available in the shared guest garden which features a large lawn, panoramic views, and garden games, while a games room with plenty of activities beckons kids, a laundry room adds convenience, and a bike storage shed adds security.
