This barn conversion is ideally located to explore the Derbyshire Dales area of the Peak District National Park. With Baslow and Curbar Edges on its doorstep, you will be hard pressed to find better local views than from these gritstone walks. Or, for those adventurous types, rock climbing makes a thrilling alternative to a gentle stroll, while also taking in those stunning panoramas. The village pub, Bridge Inn, serves tasty local food to follow those long and exhausting days out.

Originally the village cobbler’s shop, the property is accessed via the patio area into the kitchen. This room is compact but includes everything you should need for your stay and has been decorated in a country farmhouse style with terracotta floor tiling, cream painted cabinets, wooden worktops and exposed beams above. Once you’ve finished preparing your meal, step down into the cosy sitting and dining room. With a beamed ceiling, exposed stone wall and pretty window, this is a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy your evening meal. Upstairs, the bedroom is very inviting, with its apex roof, skylight, exposed beam and bright, modern en suite.

If the weather permits, step outside into the patio area to enjoy a glass of wine in the sun. If you are booking with friends, why not rent the adjoining Lower Barn to accommodate four guests in total.

Lovely location, cottage was cosy and perfect for our 4 night stay. Close to Baslow (5 mins drive) for meals out or we cooked in the kitchen as it had everything we needed. Parking was right next to the cottage. Little log burner if the evenings were cool. Cottage was beautifully decorated and the views were brilliant! Every town or Tor we wanted tRead moreo see was 20 mins drive away and we walked to the Bridge pub which was right on the river. Great stay! Hide

Loved the rustic barn features and found it a cosy and comfortable place to relax after long days of walking. The location is perfect. A few things could be improved: * It was difficult to find; a what3words location would be very helpful. * The garden is not dog secure but could easily be enclosed with a gate. * The bed was creaky and uncomfortablRead moree. I would book this cottage again in a heartbeat ONLY if the bed was replaced. The only downside to an otherwise perfect stay. Hide

This is a comfortable cottage that had everything we needed. The parking is good, and the facilities were more than adequate for our needs for the week. It's in a great place in terms of visiting parts of the Peak District - we seemed to be only 20 miles or so from lots of interesting places/walks/cycle paths. We did a couple of nice walks from theRead more property, and Bakewell is only a few miles away. The local Pub served a lovely meal and there are shops relatively close for groceries. Hide
