Overview
Property code: 78618

A quiet rural escape high in the hills between the charming villages of Youlgreave and Elton with wide views over the green valley below. From the cottage you can enjoy fantastic walks with footpaths on your doorstep. Secluded and peaceful, the surrounding area waits to be discovered on foot, by bike or by car. Bakewell is just 15 minutes away by car, with many shopping and dining facilities including a chance to sample the famous Bakewell Pudding. Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House and Gardens are a must see for anyone who visits - don’t forget to stop at the farm shop and stock up on the local food and drink. The nearby village of Youlgreave offers a range of good local shops and pubs.

You enter this wonderful country cottage by a traditional barn door and arrive into the main hall. The newly-fitted main bathroom is located on the ground floor at the end of the hall with a shower over bath. Down a few steps from the hallway you enter a cosy wood-floored living room with many original features including a wood burner. This is perfect place to unwind with two leather sofas and two armchairs in front of the fire, and a nearby Smart TV and a Bluetooth speaker. Moving along you enter a country-style kitchen and dining room with a generous electric cooker, a microwave, fridge and dishwasher. Patio doors lead straight out on the terrace. Inside you have all you need to create a family feast and the perfect spot to enjoy it on the dining room table. From the kitchen a flight of stairs leads to a king-size bedroom with additional pull-out single bed and en-suite shower room with toilet. Back in the hallway there are two more charming private staircases, one leading up to a double bedroom with a built-in desk and the other to a king-size room with additional pull-out single bed.

Outside you will find a huge shared garden and patio with seating to enjoy those beautiful views, and a grassed area all around. Go exploring in pine woods nearby and say hello over the wall to our friendly family of resident llamas.

The cottage was quirky, nice and clean, well equipped and and warm. Beds were very comfortable. The best part though was the setting. The views were lovely and the gardens were gorgeous.

Spout Cottage is easily in one of the most tranquil locations weve ever stayed in.

A beautiful cottage in the most amazing setting, if peace and tranquility are what you are after then look no further. You feel like you have been transported to another dimension away from the craziness of the world. You are not far away from Bakewell and Matlock and other places of interest if you can tear yourself away from the garden! WoodpeckeRead morers, squirrels, ducks, and of course the Llamas. Lovely walks and if you like cycling there is plenty of that to be done too. Hide

Lovely location set into the hillside offering great views and fabulous walks from the cottage. It is very warm all-day (via a very effective ground source heat-pump). And a wood burning stove as well. Well equipped and very comfortable for 6 people.

Spout Cottage has wonderful charm, and the layout and decor feel cosy and comfortable. Beds were comfy and sitting in the lounge area with the fire was very relaxing.

Absolutely stunning cottage with the most beautiful garden.

We loved so many aspects of Spout Cottage, from the silence, apart from the constant presence of water, the ability to walk out from the doorstep. We loved the layout, and the privacy that it provided to my self and my partner and our guests. We also loved the rear entrance, offering a place to take off and dry out wet weather gear when the weatherRead more turned. We loved the gift of wine and pastries at the beginning of the week, and of course we loved the prescience of those wonderful llamas. Hide

The cottage was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 2 dogs, with excellent outside and inside space. The private staircases for each bedroom is a really clever way of maximizing upstairs space and provide a real feeling of privacy.

We had a thoroughly relaxing time and didn't want to leave. The bedrooms are comfortable and the cottage was warm. We did lots of walks from the doorstep and drove into Bakewell a couple of times. Unfortunately the downstairs could have been cleaner. All 3 bedrooms are accessed from separate stairs with the master bedroom off the kitchen being veryRead more separate from the other 2 bedrooms. This was fine for us as our children are 10, 12 & 14. This may be difficult for families with younger children. Hide

This cottage is in the most fabulous location, we never got tired of looking out across the rolling hills! It has a very 'cottagy' feel to it, with plenty of room for us all to spread out when needed. Like previous reviewers have noted - each bedroom has it's own staircase which suited us perfectly but might need consideration with small children.
