Property code: OC-DCTOPS

Topshill Cottage is a charming mellow stone barn conversion in a peaceful location with breath-taking views over the Ecclesbourne Valley. This super accommodation comprises of a spacious, beamed lounge and dining area incorporating with burning stove, well equipped fitted kitchen, quality bedroom and contemporary shower room.

Set at the end of a quiet hawthorn-clad lane with beautiful countryside all around, you will think you are in the middle of nowhere. Yet the attractive village of Kirk Ireton with its stores, post office and famous pub is just a short walk away. Wirksworth, which is a brilliant little historic town, is also close by, as is Ashbourne with its colourful market and lots of interesting shops. Carsington's watersports, Matlock Bath's cable cars, Peak Rail's steam trains and the National Tramway Museum are to be found in the surrounding hills.

More traditional days out can be had in and around the Peak District, perhaps exploring Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall or venturing out to Hardwick Hall. But make sure you get back in time for a 'real ale' from the jug in the Barley Mow before a last glass or two in the cottage garden under a canopy of stars.

Cottage facilities:

Living Room: a spacious lounge with vaulted, beamed ceiling, large leather sofa and cuddle chair, log burning stove on stone hearth, TV, DVD player, WiFi; lovely views over the valley; dining area with table and four chairs.

Kitchen: well-fitted kitchen with electric oven, ceramic hob, extractor fan, microwave, fridge freezer, slim dishwasher, washing machine and Dolce Gusto coffee machine.

Bedroom: a lovely bedroom with king size bed, built-in clothes hanging, chest of drawers.

Shower Room: Spacious shower cubicle with rain head shower and rinser attachment, WC, basin with shaver light over.

Bed linen and towels are provided. Central heating (from air source heat pump), electricity and logs for the stove are provided.

Outside: Small enclosed garden with fantastic views and garden furniture, and a secluded side patio with garden seating. Ample parking is available.

Smoking in the cottage is not permitted. Dog welcome but sorry, no cats.

Such a lovely cottage to stay in, we couldn't fault it at all. A secure dog friendly garden with stunning views & peace & quiet & good country walks from the cottage.

It was warm, plus the cosy logburner is lovely in the evening after explorinRead moreg this wonderful area all day. Great shower & comfortable bed. Jane & Andrew were lovely & welcoming & thank you for the welcome pack. Can't understand the previous review as we never felt like we were being vetted. They were there if you needed any help or advice, but they weren't knocking on the door all week or bothering you. Just a warm friendly welcome as obviously they want you to have a wonderful stay, which we did. It was our first time to Derbyshire & a week isn't enough to explore this stunning area. We want to return for 2 weeks & definitely wish to stay in this cottage again as its perfect. Great location too to explore Derbyshire & surrounding area. Would recommend it to anyone. Thank you Jane & Andrew for a wonderful stay & welcome. We'll look forward to staying again Hide
