  • A romantic escape with some of the best views in Derbyshire from a hot tub
  • Private gym facilities situated next to the hot tub for a spa-like experience
  • Amazing views from the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offering an exceptional place to relax and unwind
Property code: OC-83080

The property is situated in a rural spot within rolling countryside on the outskirts of the Peak District National Park. There are many quiet footpaths within walking distance of the property. The market town of Ashbourne is within driving distance and with its narrow cobbled alleys, it is somewhat of a haven for antique hunters, boasting superb shops, as well as a variety of good pubs and restaurants. Sudbury Hall and the Museum of Childhood is very close by and offers a fascinating insight into days gone by. The Dove and Manifold Valleys are also nearby, and both Carsington Water and Alton Towers are within a short drive, making this a wonderful location for relaxation and enjoyment all year round.

Situated next to the owners' home but with privacy in mind, the accommodation is reached via a flight of external steps to the first floor. Leading through from the hallway into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, the first thing you notice is the beautiful rolling countryside views from each window. In the lounge area, relax into the comfortable sofas with a good book or put your favourite programme on the Smart TV. Rustle up a hearty meal in the immaculate kitchen which offers everything you need including an electric oven and induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, boiling water tap and washing machine. Also on this floor, you will find a super-king-size bedroom and a wet room with shower and WC and wonderful countryside views. Heading downstairs to the ground floor, there is a conservatory with sweeping glass windows and ceiling, where you can relax with your loved ones, whatever the weather.

Outside is the private hot tub which is surrounded by a beautiful awning that can either be open or covered depending upon the weather. There is a private gym facility to use during your stay. On balmy days, make use of the outdoor dining furniture to enjoy an al fresco meal or evening drinks with good company. There is off-road parking for two cars.

Outstanding countryside views from within this wonderful, comfortable, apartment. The owner explained everything to us upon arrival and was on site should we have had any problems (we didn't).

It was cool to say the least. The temperature needs to be raised to just above body temperature (38 degrees C ideally). We did ask, but our request for it to be raised appeared not to be acted upon. The apartment was situated in a lovely location with many attractions fairly close by. The Crown Inn was a 5 minute drive away and serves some wonderful food. The sirloin steak was exceptionally good! All said, our stay at the apartment was very enjoyable and only let down slightly by a cool hot tub. Hide

Beautiful location and well presented property but our experience was disappointing. Communication felt abrupt at times. The hot tub was lukewarm and assistance was declined when we asked for help.

Beautiful cottage with beautiful peacful views. The owners appear to have thought of everything to make life simple. Under floor heating, electric blinds, walk-in shower, hot tub etc, etc. And the walk to a very nice pub with great meals is literally just 20mins. A place to unwind.
