Property code: OC-DCELLE

Ellencroft is a lovely single storey cottage in a very peaceful location at the end of a private drive and surrounded by rolling countryside. It provides lots of comfortable accommodation, the extensive lawned garden is great for ball games and the 'Croft' with its field and wild orchard is perfect for picnics and children's adventures.

The views are wonderful across the garden to the adjoining fields, often dotted by woolly sheep. 

This is a brilliant location with all of the Peak District's attractions like Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and the Derwent Dams just a short drive away. But you might be tempted by some of the more local attractions. Bolsover's magnificent castle or beautiful Hardwick Hall should be on your list. Sheffield and Meadowhall are close to hand with theatres and shopping, and it's not that much further to picturesque Clumber Park and Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest!

The perfect holiday home for our family, spending a week celebrating my Mums 90th birthday. The view is terrific from the south facing patio - and we spent hours watching the wildlife, walkers, horse riders, farmer and big sky! The kitchen is well equipped, which was fabulous as we could cook the things we all love, and enjoy eating together. ThRead moree easy walks were perfect for our small dog, and the peace and quiet was just lovely. One of the bedrooms has a double aspect overlooking the countryside - many an early morning cuppa spent enjoying that from the comfort of my bed!! So many attractions and places of interest nearby - and the scenery around there is fabulous.. there are many places where you can see for miles. Would we go again - ABSOLUTELY we would! Would I recommend to a friend .. no - because its a best kept secret!!! Joking apart - yes I would HIGHLY recommend, and I really hope Ill visit again. Hide
