Discover a tranquil corner of rural Derbyshire, where rolling hills, quiet lanes and scenic footpaths create the perfect backdrop for time spent together. From this cosy two-person retreat, the pretty village of Tansley Knoll sits just 1 mile away, offering a traditional country pub and a charming village green ideal for gentle afternoon strolls. Head slightly further to Matlock at 2.5 miles and Matlock Bath at 3 miles, where favourite attractions await, including the Great Masson Cavern at 4 miles, the atmospheric Lumsdale Waterfall at 2 miles and the peaceful Cascades Gardens at 5 miles. Exploring the wider Peak District National Park opens up a range of beautiful walking routes and dramatic viewpoints, such as Stanton Moor at 7.5 miles, Robin Hood’s Stride at 9.5 miles and Lathkill Dale at 14 miles. For a touch of heritage, visit Chatsworth House at 10.5 miles, Haddon Hall at 9 miles, or the charming market town of Bakewell just 11 miles away.

Meticulously finished and styled with care, this single-storey hideaway is designed to leave a lasting impression. Step into the uniquely arranged open-plan living space, where the lounge, dining area and bedroom blend seamlessly while still feeling beautifully distinct. Generously proportioned and thoughtfully zoned, the room encourages slow, easy living. Settle into the soft sofas beside the wood burner as it warms the evenings, then drift towards the elegant four-poster king-size bed that adds a touch of romance to the far end of the room. A Smart TV allows you to unwind with your favourite show from the comfort of bed. The compact kitchen sits separately, equipped for simple holiday cooking, while the bathroom, with its shower-over-bath layout, offers comfort and privacy. A useful boot room provides space for storing outdoor gear after exploring.

French doors open from the dining area into a sweeping half-acre garden, where mature planting and quiet corners create a peaceful retreat. The paved patio offers inviting spots to sit and relax, from cushioned seating to unique egg chairs, and the hot tub provides a luxurious way to end each day. The enclosed garden keeps things private and serene, with a small stream adding to the charm. Private parking for two cars completes this lovely escape.

The potting shed was a very clean and well looked after little treat. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the location was perfect for myself and wife to explore the beautiful surrounding areas. Jacqui and Peter were excellent hosts and kept me informed and even treated us to some local produce. Would recommend highly

Well equiped and comfortable. Very generous hospitality. Extremely clean and lovely outside space with an amazing hot tub. Busy main road beside the property was the only downside.

What a wonderful find The Potting Shed has been! Initial contact from the owner a few days before arrival was welcoming and personal. We were greeted and shown the cottage - a really beautiful place. There was everything we could need, with special touches for us throughoutand not forgetting our dog. Very clean and beautifully maintained, a lovelyRead more garden and the hot tub was covered for those wet days with lovely lighting. The owners were available if needed but it felt very private. Well definitely be back and have already recommended it to friends. Thank you so much! Hide

The property is amazing. The photos are impressive but to see the Potting shed with your own eyes is even better. The attention to detail throughout every aspect of the building and its contents is fantastic. The grounds with the stream running through is the perfect place to sit and relax. We will definitely be booking again soon. Jacqui anRead mored Peter are so welcoming and friendly. Hide
