New Harborough Farmhouse is a wonderful old farmhouse that provides a superb holiday retreat. Within its thick stone walls and under its traditional beamed ceilings you will find a magnificent lounge, separate dining area, superb kitchen, five bedrooms with wonderfully comfortable beds, four bathrooms and even two log burning stoves. Add crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels, cashmere throws, original works of art, and lovely antiques and you realise this is a very special place to host a family escape.
The farmhouse is one of a group of cottages, converted from the old farm buildings, situated in its own secret valley surrounded by farmland (a working farm lies just beyond) - see also DCNEB New Harborough Bungalow (sleeps 2), DCGOL Golconda (sleeps 4) and DCGRIF Griffedale (sleeps 4). The High Peak Trail for walkers and cyclists is close by. Carsington Water with its water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill. The lovely historic town of Wirksworth with heritage railway, heritage trail, Northern Lights little cinema and many a pub and restaurant is just five minutes' drive away.
There are also lots of other Peak District attractions in the surrounding hills. Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside promenade is not to be missed. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the Derwent Valley. Venture beyond famous Bakewell and you are in the real Peaks with sparkling rivers, picturesque villages, incredible views from the gritstone edges and country pubs galore.
