Property code: OC-DCFRR

Farriers is an incredible find. A peaceful hideaway surrounded by stunning countryside in the very midst of the wonderful Peak District. The dramatic lounge with its vibrant colours and sumptuous suite, the more gently decorated bedroom with its luxurious king size bed, the classy 'state of the art' shower room and the breath-taking views all combine to make this a fantastic cottage, attached to the owners' home, on the edge of picturesque Ilam.

There is something almost mystical about the countryside as you drop over the edge towards the village. Craggy Dove Dale with its famous stepping stones, Lovers’ Leap and Jacob's Ladder runs off to the right. Manifold Valley with its Paradise Walk and amazing vanishing river is just as close. Follow the River Dove down to the historic market town of Ashbourne with its lovely country town shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. 

Explore the numerous local walks before enjoying lunch in a village pub. But when you hang up your walking boots remember that all Derbyshire's attractions are close at hand from Chatsworth House and Bakewell to Carsington Water, Crich's Tramway Museum and even Alton Towers!

The location is beautiful and so peaceful regardless of being next to a road but be aware that guests cant access the garden at the rear of the property (this is included in the property description). Although it is well-equipped, the kitchen area is tiny but who wants to cook a meal when there are plenty of lovely places where you can eat out! ThRead moree shower is really powerful and there is plenty of hot water and there is more than enough storage in the bedroom, including several coat hangers. I think if you are planning to be out all day and want somewhere cosy for the night this property is ideal. Hide

The cottage is very near perfect, with just one caveat. A delicate matter, we have a firm mattress at home & very much appreciate a comfortable bed. The mattress at the property is extremely 'soft'. For us, it spoilt the otherwise very comfortable stay. We would seek to rebook in the future, but not as things are with the bed. I repeat the propRead moreerty is excellent, thanks to the kind owners. Hide
