Overview

Enjoying an idyllic village location, the cottage is a picture-postcard stone property that dates back some 400 years. For those yearning to explore the history of some of England’s finest country houses, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just a short drive away. Meander through the shops and cafes of the pretty market town of Bakewell or simply head up into the Monsal Dale and enjoy the outstanding scenery on foot.

The property embraces open-plan living with a delightful kitchen-diner, lounge area. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities that guests require during their stay. The cosy cottage lounge has a welcoming log burning stove set into a gritstone fireplace which makes a charming central feature of the room. The intimate lounge provides a wonderful space for resting those aching legs and watching TV after a day spent exploring the Dales.

The original staircase leads upstairs to the bedroom which is located at the front of the property. Containing a double bed, the bedroom has a quaint cottage feel and a bathroom adjacent which consists of a walk-in shower, hand basin and toilet.

In need of some TLC, black mould on the bathroom wall and rusty radiator. Shame as it would be a lovely little cottage. Great location with lots of walking nearby.

A lovely tiny cosy cottage, had everything we needed! Perfect for the two of us & our doggo (no garden but plenty of grass nearby & dog bin). Comfy beds & the shower was a treat! Only used oven once & very slow so ate at both pubs which were very good. Road parking wasn't an issue as we were mid week. Plenty of walks from the door, would definitelyRead more return! Hide

The cottage is cute, cosy and in a beautiful location. We highly recommend visiting the tearooms next door! The cottage itself is in need of some TLC. It would benefit from a smart TV, and a better equipped kitchen. The oven was very slow so not ideal for eating in. No guidance on what to do with bin bags and dog waste is not ideal and needs to be Read moreadded to the welcome instructions. Although the cottage is in need of some TLC, we would definitely return as it could be made beautiful x Hide

Overall the cottage is cosy, warm and well equipped, although it could do with a little TLC, but we enjoyed our stay and it had everything we needed. Location is excellent. Ashford-in-the-water is a lovely, quaint little village which has a shop, 2 pubs serving good food and a wonderful tea room and is close to everywhere we wanted to visit.

Cottage is in a great location and reasonably priced for the time of year. It is very comfortable with a good shower. We felt the kitchen was a little under equipped and could have done with more guidance in terms of recycling etc Storage was excellent and the cottage was warm enough. Overall, it was a great place to stay in an amazing location.
